So I quickly connected a USB Hub onto it. I decided to use the USB signal on the touchpad connector, because I am a bit too lazy to figure out the pinout of the dock connector.
I love this so much. I'm totally a hardware noob but even I thought "there has to be USB somewhere right". This whole inspection is amazing and shows that it's very much possible to take back control over your hardware. Sure, this is specifically locked down for prisons, but you could also think of it like a consumer device from a dystopian future. Let's fight against that together with libre open source hardware & software projects.

A closer approximation to that, which also exists today, would be a smartphone.
