To #repurpose an old #Kindle e-ink e-reader you would usually require it's root password.
This tool is a single web page that uses #javascript (running locally) to compute the root password for your device from it's serial number (located on the device's settings page). There is also a link to the original #Python script that this tool is derived from.
One example of how they can be repurposed:

I apparently walked out of the store with this thing still attached to a very cheap piece of #electronics . I think it is an Alpha #security tag. I guess the cashier didn't notice.
Are there any cool things I can do to #repurpose this? I could just bring it back to Wal-Mart but not if I can do something interesting with it.

How to Turn an “#EconomicBlackout” Into an All-Out War on #CorporatePower
Friday’s economic boycott is a one-day attack on corporate interests. The #degrowth movement calls for a broader societal shift.
Jonah Valdez, February 28 2025
Excerpt: "Rooted in the work of American and European political theorists of the 1970s, the 'degrowth' movement criticizes a #capitalist system that seeks unending growth and profit, which has led to #ecological and #environmental ruin such as the impacts of #ClimateChange.
"Instead, it advocates for a system that prioritizes the needs of the #planet and its people, such as #housing, #education, and #healthcare. According to Jason Hickel, a leading advocate of degrowth and author of 'Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World,' the movement calls for reducing consumption and production of things that harm the planet such #FossilFuels, #SUVs, #PrivateJets, #mansions, #FastFashion, #IndustrialBeef, #CruiseShips, and the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex.
"While the term may be unfamiliar to many Americans, its core ideas have cropped up in the Green New Deal’s goals of a post-fossil fuel economy; the pandemic-era phenomenon of white-collar workers voluntarily quitting their jobs and working less; and the recent social media trend of '#NoBuy,' which encouraged people to purchase less and #repurpose more.
"'People are getting a sense that they’re ripped off, that they’re being taken advantage of and exploited as consumers,' said Aaron Vansintjan, co-author of 'The Future Is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism.' 'It is promising that people are responding to the current moment by showing their distrust of these corporations.'
"The boycott has drawn wide–ranging media coverage, along with the attention of some celebrities. It also caught the attention of #LindaSarsour, a progressive activist best known for organizing the 2017 #WomensMarch after #Trump’s first election.
"'It is an easy risk-free way to invite masses of people to act in reaction to the outrageousness of this Administration,' Sarsour told The Intercept in an email."

I found this, for little money, at a thrift store and bought it to serve my deviled eggs. It is was only once I saw it in full light that I realized what it is supposed to be for. Don't care what it's for. It's now my rotating deviled egg stand. #eggs #reuse #repurpose
Why throw away these stylish cans when we can turn them into fab storage solutions? I popped the tops off and added a safety ring, so now they're safe and ready to hold all our treasures without any sharp surprises! Let's give these beauties a second life!
