Një grua ka marrë një mësim të dhimbshëm pasi i la në dorë telefonin djaloshit të saj 2-vjeçar.
I vogli e mori në dorë atë dhe nisi ta përdorë pa mbikëqyrje duke e kyçur kështu për 48 vite, përafërsisht 5 dekada.
Ai e hapi për të parë një video në YouTube dhe do të mund ta përfundojë kur të jetë 50 vjeç.
Mamaja e re nga Shanghai ia dha telefonin të voglit të saj në mënyrë që të shikonte video edukative.
Kur e mori pas 5 minutash ajo pa se ai i kishte futur disa herë rresht kodin gabim dhe e kishte kyçur kështu për 25 milion minuta.
Pasi e dërgoi telefonin tek një ekspert, ai i tha se zgjidhja e vetme ishte të formatonte sistemin nga e para./tesheshi.com/
An iPhone owner was horrified to find that she would have to wait over 47 years to use it after her toddler repeatedly put in the wrong passcode.
The mum identified only by her surname Lu saw on her phone screen that it was locked for 25,114,984 minutes – nearly 48 years.
The woman from Shanghai on China’s east coast says she took her eye off her phone and her son aged two long enough for the lad to keep putting in the wrong passcode.
It was not clear how many times the boy typed in the wrong numbers. Apple’s iPhones can be set to lock out anyone trying to use them if a wrong passcode is entered, with the lockout period increasing every time.
Mrs Lu told Chinese media: “I can’t wait for more than 40 years,” Lu said. “In 40 years I probably won’t be able to talk. Although I’ll probably joke to my grandchildren ‘this is your dad’s fault.'”
She has considered rebooting the phone but does not want to as it would mean losing all her pictures, contacts and other files.
One tech expert told Chinese media that eventually the phone would pick a random amount of time to lock itself.
It was not clear whether Mrs Lu’s phone has been “jailbroken” (had Apple’s software restrictions removed).
The unnamed expert said it was technically possible for an iPhone to be locked for up to 80 years.
He said of Mrs Lu’s wish to access her phone before the current scheduled date of 2065: “There is no way to solve it unless she resets the system. All the files cannot be transferred either.”
Some such problems may be able to be solved by connecting the device to Apple’s iTunes service via another computer but Mrs Lu may not have this option for unreported reasons.
