No you can't use it for video and browsing.

You can't play video on it because Youtube/Netflix/Hbo + all other video apps don't work anymore on IOS9.

You can't browse the web because certificates don't work anymore in the browser.

I don't know why you guys are attacking me for proposing legislation and retiring my old iPad - i'm a techy with a 2014 macbook pro that has really tried finding a usecase for his my old 2. gen iPad lol, i use stuff for as long as possible.

Most regular non tech people won't be able to stretch their laptops life as long as i did, that's the problem.

Sell it on eBay. The 2nd gen used iPads sell for $20-40 [1], so obviously people are still buying and using them for something. I know some people who use them as wall-mounted always-on live weather/news/commute displays, just pointing to an HTML page.
