If you have a kid at home and don’t want to allow them access to your phone/tablet, the solution is simple — lock it up with a passcode. That usually works… unless you have a particularly determined toddler.
This happened to writer Evan Osnos, and he shared the entire unbelievable story on Twitter.
Evan’s 3-year-old child tried to unlock his iPad. Many, many times, apparently! Every iPad and iPhone automatically disables after several incorrect passcodes. It starts at 1 minute, and then gradually increases to 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 60 minutes, and so on.
Usually, people will give up after a few tries, since they don’t want their devices to end up locked for too long.
Clearly, Evan’s toddler was not giving up, because when Evan picked up his iPad, the screen reported that it was disabled for precisely 25,536,442 minutes. That’s 48 years!
Evan turned to Twitter users for advice, asking simply: “Ideas?”
“Reboot your 3 y.o.,” one user recommended.
