When Apple introduced the AirTag back in 2021, it changed the way we think about mobile tracking devices. Rather than using a cellular or GPS signal directly, AirTag utilizes a hybrid Bluetooth and ultra-wideband signal over a Peer-to-Peer network consisting of other Apple devices to triangulate its exact location and report it back to you. This allows AirTag to be extremely power efficient.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the year of 2024, you’ve probably caught wind about all the efforts to bring the palera1n jailbreak to checkm8-vulnerable Apple TV units. This led to official support arriving in late July.
In a rarely seen walk back on Tuesday, iOS security researcher and Dopamine jailbreak lead developer Lars Fröder (@opa334dev) released and then pulled an updated version of the Dopamine jailbreak tool in the form of version 2.3.

Earlier this week, we shared a story about how palera1n team developers Nick Chan (@riscv64) and @mineekdev successfully ported iPadOS 18 to the natively unsupported iPad (6th generation). With this feat, it joins the iPad (7th generation) as one of only two checkm8 bootrom exploit-vulnerable devices capable of running Apple’s latest firmware.
One of my biggest qualms with the Lock Screen on any iPhone or iPad is the fact that the number pad for passcode entry always has the same layout. This means that even if someone who’s glancing over your shoulder doesn’t know exactly what numbers you’re tapping on, they can instead easily memorize the positions of the number buttons you tap on to gain access to your device.
Although Christmas came and went, that hasn’t stopped online stores from hosting exciting discounts on Nintendo Switch games and accessories, which is something we’re passionate about sharing with you.
