Recently, I became owner of an Ippo Q8H android tablet, found sitting in its original box in an e-waste recycling bin. I don't understand people sometimes.
I'm fairly certain it hadn't ever been powered: no files, default configuration, and the protective plastic cling wrap hadn't been taken off.
It is... well it is crap. Dual core Cortex A7, Android 4.4, buggy web browser that doesn't let me change the homepage off baidu.com, and no way that I can find to upgrade or root, aside from installing a barely functioning Linux with many missing drivers. (if anyone here is good at getting #root on mystery-meat tablets please let me know!)
On the bright side... although Android 4.4 is too old to run the #FDroid client, or even #Termux, it does run manually downloaded APKs... so I have given the thing a new life as an e-reader thanks to #KoReader, and a Youtube client thanks to #NewPipeLegacy. It works great up to about 360p before the abysmal WiFi speed starts causing trouble.

Le problème reste entier sur la dernière release de #newpipelegacy ...problème de déchiffrement des URL 🙃
Newpipe reste le logiciel ultime des libristes 😃
