So I have the first generation of iPads from about 16 years ago. It’s jailbroken and I’m wondering what I can use it for and what I can do on it and with it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can reuse the screen with an LCD driver and USB touch interface board. It can also hold a window open. Other than that, unless you’re a collector or a museum, nothing.
It’s very cool to get old things working
Here is one of iPad reuse projects
And here is a crazier and thorough project on replacing internals
TBF I considered using my old iPad2 as in-car navigation or just as permanently-on weather display or picture frame. (If battery doesn’t swell from being on all the time)
As somone who used to jailbrake iPod Touch 4th and 5th gen, not much. I doubt much has changed since then. I doubt iPads are in a much better state either.
If you can find the old .ipa app packages, you could use it as an offline devices for old apps and games that no longer run on newer iOS versions.
Oh, that’s true! I have Veteris installed so I can download old apps and versions of existing apps
you can install unofficial ios 6 on it. run old apps, etc
Oh right!!! Thank you :)
Use it as a coaster
