What's happening to the screen?

[–] 93Volvo240@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bad things 😔 I think it's a common issue.

How do you milk sheep? Bring out a new iPhone and charge $1000 for it.

Are you using Opera by preference or because Safari doesn’t work anymore? Genuinely curious

[–] typpo_in_my_name@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Back in the days I’ve used Opera over Safari on my 3GS because it was way faster and Safari was basically unusable, if you’re on EDGE (internet technology before 3g-networking)

[–] 93Volvo240@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s because Safari really doesn’t work anymore unfortunately. Also, surprisingly, Opera Mini is EXPONENTIALLY faster than Safari. The few websites that work with Safari take much less time to load in Opera. Pretty much all websites work on Opera, but are broken to varying degrees. Amazon and eBay work, but have issues. YouTube won’t play videos, but it will load searches. Reddit loads, but old Reddit is much better. I can’t post things from it though. Wikipedia works pretty well. These are just a few examples. This phone is jailbroken, and I have installed AppSync For iOS 4 from Karen’s repo, (cydia.akemi.ai) and I got the IPA from the iOS Obscura Collection on Archive.org. I installed it using 3UTools. If there is a website you want me to test, let me know! Hope this helps!

From what I remember about Opera back in the day, they actually compress the website for you on their backend, and then deliver an optimized version to you. They’ve always been surprisingly effective. 👍🏽

I think it still does that, as it is ridiculously fast for a device with 128MB of RAM.

Opera browser??😂😂😂 dog you get like 5 minutes of battery life

[–] 93Volvo240@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it's pretty bad, even when the app isn't running. Before, I could go days without charging.

I think it's time to upgrade, your phone must be infested with viruses

[–] ChronicMasterBlazer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Unlikely as it’s a sandboxed iPhone lol

I take it with me almost everywhere. It just came back from Florida in fact.

Thank goodness for the retina displays of today lol. I can almost count the pixels. Wild to look back on.

You can also visit that page on an iPhone 2G also thanks to Opera Mini.
