I have an old iPad2 and I'm honestly amazed at how bricked it is at this point just from the passage of time.

Recently I turned it on after a long while, asking myself this post's exact question.

I went into the browser, but I got SSL errors accessing Google, Apple, etc. Okay...

Then I went to the settings app to see if there are updates, but the device is obviously unsupported at this point.

Finally I went to the App Store to try and install some picture frame app or something, but that was stupid of me since I already knew Apple certs were no longer valid in my obsolete OS.

Bottom line: It's trash with a touch screen. Galaxies are much better in that aspect. Rooting them provides a world of possibilities.

Some companies today offer a fraud prevention solution which is covered, meaning they will pay the merchant for whatever fraud transaction that slipps through their systems. These companies employ pretty sophisticated methods as this is their core buisiness. I work at one such company, Forter. We take pride at the fact that we approve more than the others would, and we take complete financial responsibility for our mistakes so merchants just don't have to deal with it...

The install process is still very non trivial, to say the least. The usage expirience is very smooth, though, anazingly for RDP contained in a browser. Some browser addon to supplement the Keyboard shortcuts might be required if I want to use it as a regular phyisical console to a cloud desktop. All in all, pretty cool software!

Couldn't this achive the opposite result by pushing people to use other currency for common trading? Anyone whose main insentive to deal with cash is for illegal reasons would surely rather deal with US$ than in expiring notes.
