I did an update to TubeReplacer, my youtube fix for iOS 5-10. You can now play videos in HD quality, use the YouTube 2.0.0 app, have it contribute to your history, and more! The update is available on my Cydia repo, cydia.preloading.dev
Two iPhone 4S devices, left on YT version 1.3.0 (?), right on YT version 2.0.0. They are both showing the video 'This video is different at 360p', with them both showing 1080p in the player.

Something I noticed, YouTube seems to have converted some short ish videos from a while ago (this case 2010), to YouTube Shorts videos. Also means you can't play it in fullscreen.
A video labeled from Oct 27th 2010, playing in the YT shorts player.

Power here is being a bit finicky due to a storm, so things like everything I host (a twitter bridge) may go down. Also my PDS (bluesky self hosted server), I have no idea how bsky handles a down PDS, so hopefully it doesn't kill me.

someone on the fediverse made a post that made me think. yeah Apple could totally and should be forced into "unlocking the bootloader" on any device where the latest kernel is already exploitable with a known, unfixed bug. sign an LLB/iBoot that displays an unlock warning and then boots whatever

Oh god, apple is on a spree preventing the restoring (unsigning) of: iPad mini wifi + cellular iPad 2 CDMA iPhone 5C iPhone 5 This means if your phone runs into any problem, or you want to reset it... you can't (at least using the official software). They are actively doing this which is uhhhhh.

I'm trying to replicate this. I made some good progress last weekend but then I bricked the console. But now I have another one! I have setups for all 3 glitches described in the talk, and they all work individually, but combining the two required for the full exploit gets a lot more unreliable.

GitHub Actions charging per build minute for *self-hosted-runners*? Shit's about to hit the fan lol
You are receiving this email because your usage of GitHub Actions may be impacted by upcoming changes to GitHub Actions pricing.

What’s changing, when

On January 1, 2026, all customers will receive up to a 39% reduction in the net price of GitHub-hosted runners, depending on the machine type used.
On March 1, 2026, we are introducing a new $0.002 per-minute GitHub Actions cloud platform charge that will apply to self-hosted runner usage. Any usage subject to this charge will count toward the minutes included in your plan.
No action is required on your part.

Welp, looks like Plex was breached. again. thats nice.
Dear Plex User,
We have recently experienced a security incident that may potentially involve your Plex account information. We believe the actual impact of this incident is limited; however, action is required from you to ensure your account remains secure.

What happened
An unauthorized third party accessed a limited subset of customer data from one of our databases. While we quickly contained the incident, information that was accessed included emails, usernames, and securely hashed passwords.

Any account passwords that may have been accessed were securely hashed, in accordance with best practices, meaning they cannot be read by a third party. Out of an abundance of caution, we recommend you immediately reset your password by visiting https://plex.tv/reset. Rest assured that we do not store credit card data on our servers, so this information was not compromised in this incident.

What we're doing
We've already addressed the method that this third party used to gain access to the system, and we're undergoing additional reviews to ensure that the security of all of our systems is further hardened to prevent future attacks.

What you must do
We kindly request that you reset your Plex account password immediately by visiting https://plex.tv/reset. When doing so, there's a checkbox to "Sign out connected devices after password change," which we recommend you enable. This will sign you out of all your devices (including any Plex Media Server you own) for your security, and you will then need to sign back in with your new password. We understand that this means a little more work for you, but it will provide additional security to your account.

In the new Bringus Studio video, he said he attempted to put the windows installer on the iPhone 2G, since it's not a mass storage device. Well I just spent too long using cydia tweaks to put Ventoy, and the Windows 10 installer on the iPhone 3G! Following the rules of his testing, It took 1h30m!
An HP Chromebook 11 G4 with the windows 10 installer open, at 80%. There is an iPhone 3G plugged into the chromebook, with the timer app open. The time on the timer is 1h18m13s (the bootup time as of taking this photo), and the lap count, exactly one hour (the time the installer was at as of taking this photo). There is also a keyboard plugged into the system.
