Brand, thing, behavior, method, advice, mantra, etc.
I swear by Blackwing pencils.
Also, the ‘two minute rule’, which has really improved my life: “if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it.” I’ve got untreated attention issues and it’s very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn’t forget in the long run has been great for me.
Damn. I left ios after iPhone 4 or 5, one of the reasons was that jail breaking was becoming nearly impossible and Android felt kind of like it was already jailbroken. I assumed it was a dead art by now. Is it still easy to do or a constant game of complex catchup?
Not as easy as it once was. Security was beefed up with every iteration after iOS 10, in the hardware (post-iPhone X) and the software. 10 was the last good time of jailbreaking ease, where a jailbreak.me type of exploit was released. It’s pure luck now. Most talented developers have either left the scene due to ungrateful people, sadly, or joined Apple’s Bounty program. You can’t tell what version a brand-new boxed iPhone is on because Apple obfuscated the serial numbers. iOS 15 introduced SSV (Sealed System Volume) meaning no touching root, forcing a halt which was eventually solved with “rootless” jailbreaks. They made it harder to downgrade to a jailbreakable version due to SEP (Secure Enclave Processor), and Blobs are useless now because of cryptex1, introduced in iOS 16. This means no downgrades to unsigned firmwares at all except within patch versions (like 16.3 and 16.3.1). iOS 17 could be even worse, time will tell.
