Reviving a four year old reMarkable 2

A user successfully revived their four-year-old reMarkable 2 tablet that had stopped working by fixing its system clock (which had drifted significantly), installing pending software updates, and re-enabling SSH access. The process involved SSH'ing into the device, manually setting the correct date/time, downloading updates in stages (since the initial update got stuck due to DNS issues), and ultimately using the tablet's web interface for file management when cloud sync remained problematic.
