Ask HN: What to Do with Old iPads?

I have a bunch of old ipads which have become almost useless being stuck on iOS 9.3

I've been looking for solutions to this and it seems the only possible option is to jailbreak and downgrade iOS to a more usable version.

Any ideas?

I use an old iPad as a digital photo frame. Sits on a horizontal cupboard top in £3 Ikea wooden phone stand, powered by a right-angle Lightning cable from ebay. Selfie camera is covered with a glossy black privacy sticker, also from ebay. It works tolerably well.
