A 3-year-old managed to lock his dad's iPad for the next 48 years
Let's just call this reason No. 580 not to leave your kids alone with technology: They might lock you out of it.
That's what happened over the weekend to Evan Osnos, a staff writer at The New Yorker and a fellow at the Brookings Institution.He put out a tweet -- or a cry for help -- letting the world know of the little situation his toddler put him in."Uh, this looks fake but, alas, it's our iPad today after 3-year-old tried to unlock. Ideas?" Osnos tweeted. A photo of the iPad's screen noted the device was disabled.
— Evan Osnos April 6, 2019 That's more than 48 years, for those of you who don't want to do the math. So Osnos' iPad will be available to him again sometime in 2067. Great, he'll have something to keep him occupied in the retirement home.Read MoreThe iPad lockout is a security feature of Apple devices that kicks in whenever someone repeatedly types the wrong password. The more times an incorrect password is entered, the longer the lock-out time grows.
— Evan Osnos April 9, 2019 "Thanks to those who shared advice!" he said.Assuming Osnos gets back into the iPad, maybe he should just give his kid the password.
