[sudo-discuss] Unlocking a found ipad

[Ed Biow]

I've never had an Apple anything except a $40 set of iPhonies™ fake ear
buds so I'm not an authority.

But a web search seems to indicate that there are ways of bypassing the
Apple ID on an iPad.

Having anything to do with anything in the Mac walled garden eco-system
makes my skin crawl, Ron, so I won't volunteer to try & help personally,
though I have built a couple of Hackintoshes for other people in my
time. I prefer to pick at open sores stuff. But there used to be an
event called Hardware Hacking Tuesday at sudoroom, I'm not sure if it is
still going on, given the pandemic, it isn't on the calendar. But if and
when it revives you might find someone there who would like to give it a
throw.

If God is watching us the least we can do is be entertaining.
Unfortunately it is also probably the most we can do.

You can use a PGP key to encrypt and secure our messages. To start using
it, you'll need to install an OpenPGP software on your computer.  Below
you'll find a list of possible solutions for your operating system:

Windows: Kleopatra (http://gpg4win.de/download.html)Linux: GnuPG
(https://www.gnupg.org/download/supported_systems.html)
OS X: GPG Keychain (https://gpgtools.org/#gpgsuite)

Android: OpenKeychain

iOS: iPGMail (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ipgmail/id430780873?mt=8)

Once you set up PGP on your computer please import my public key into
your local OpenPGP Key-Manager. The valid PGP keys for my
biow at cubasoldarity.net & biow at riseup.net accounts can be downloaded
here: http://ebiow.yasashi.net/pgp/

An "easy" way to set up PGP on your computer is to download the free &
open sources Thunderbird email client (available on Linux, Windohs &
O$X) & install the EnigMail Add-On.
