I have an old iPad2 and I'm honestly amazed at how bricked it is at this point just from the passage of time.

Recently I turned it on after a long while, asking myself this post's exact question.

I went into the browser, but I got SSL errors accessing Google, Apple, etc. Okay...

Then I went to the settings app to see if there are updates, but the device is obviously unsupported at this point.

Finally I went to the App Store to try and install some picture frame app or something, but that was stupid of me since I already knew Apple certs were no longer valid in my obsolete OS.

Bottom line: It's trash with a touch screen. Galaxies are much better in that aspect. Rooting them provides a world of possibilities.

I disagree, I also have an iPad 2 and it works perfectly fine for watching youtube and browsing. I can't say I have any issues with downloading apps either, of course most new ones wont be supported.
Have you checked the time is set up correctly? This could explain the TLS errors.
