If you have an iPhone, it's time to jailbreak

Cheat · July 31, 2016, 04:47:20 PM

For those of you with an iPhone (if there are even any people still here with one), a semi-untethered jailbreak for iOS 9.3.3 (current OS) was released a few days ago. If you have been wanting to jailbreak or have a jailbreak on an older/outdated iOS version and didn't want to risk losing the jailbreak (like me) now is the time to update and jailbreak.

I haven't jailbroken my iphone and probably won't.

this voids any warranty you have tho so just fyi

It's a software exploit, so if you find yourself in the position of needing Apple's warranty, doing a system restore will remove the jailbreak and you should be good to go.

IDK, mang. Emulators, Tether apps, widgets, etc. Just thought I'd let anyone interested know that you can go and jailbreak now. The window for these things is usually crazy small and I wouldn't be surprised if Apple releases a patch in a few days to remove the exploit.

I've been waiting about 6 months to catch one of these windows (still on 8.1).

Yeah but doesn't it end up killing your phone?

What? No. Been jailbreaking since my first iPhone (3G) and have never had problems that weren't corrected by redoing the jailbreak. It'll temporarily brick your phone sometimes, but as long as you know how to use Google you can easily reset it back to factory.

Gives you more control over your device.

If Apple wanted me to have that amount of control...

Why are you so submissive? Just going through life playing by everybody's bullshit rules and restrictions.

The only reason you'd jailbreak your phone in the first place is so that you could steal more shit with it.

Thievery is one of those really really bad things that I hate a lot. System tampering in general is just stupid.

What? Stealing has nothing to do with it.

Video game emulators are the #1 reason people jailbreak their phones. And to get free apps.

Oh come on. Fuck off dude. The majority of people already own the games they're using the emulator for anyways.

Are you really going to label people thieves for playing Gameboy games on their iPhone? Really dude?

Yes? Would I not be a thief if I went into Gamestop and snuck a game under my jacket?

Why is it so different if you use a phone to steal shit? The fact that the developers lose no money over it is irrelevant. The principle remains that you don't have the right to use or own the product unless you have paid for it. Otherwise it's stolen.

Dude, the developer wouldn't get the money anyways. Pretty much all old games are bought used which means no money goes to the developer.

Especially a fucking Gameboy Classic. Come on dude. It's like calling somebody a thief for watching 12 Angry Men on the Internet.

Yes, they're thieves too. And I acknowledged that the developers don't make the money, and I explained why I don't care about that. It's the principle of the matter.

You don't just get free shit, period. If Nintendo doesn't lose money, then the lowly flea market down the street that provides used copies of the game does. Maybe help them out. It has to be paid for somehow, unless someone's letting you have their copy which has already been paid for.

What principle?

Markets and mediums change. You could say you're robbing the news by not paying for a newspaper and reading the news online.

No, you couldn't say that. First of all, the news doesn't "belong" to anyone, so it can't be stolen to begin with.

Second, what you're purchasing when you buy a newspaper are all the efforts made by a large collection of journalists to report the news to you--not the news itself. What you're paying for is a service. If you don't want to pay for their service, you don't get to read their newspaper.

Online news sources don't charge their readers any subscription fees, because most of them make their money through ad revenue, and journalists who write for these websites are writing the story from their own point of view. Obviously, they can't just plagiarize the story, so what gets posted on the news website will be written from a completely different perspective than the newspaper. Therefore, no one is being stolen from. You're not taking advantage of anyone's services by reading either.

It's like saying reading Harry Potter is stealing from David Yates, because David Yates directed the last few HP movies.

As for the principle of the matter, I've already described it maybe three times already, so I don't see a point in repeating myself.

Discourse, even meaningless discourse is good to sharpen one's debate skills. I'd argue "meaningless" stuff like this is really good because no one really has legitimate ill will over an IPhone, rather than arguing about a topic that is a bigger issue.

and what would be "doing much"

what is a more productive use of time

grandstanding and acting as though you're above all this?
