imagine being unable to understand why apple would want to make some extra money from the huge third party industry that has sprung up around their devices by selling accessories to norms.

not only does apple officially suggest using screen protectors on their phones now, they have a totally separate 3rd party with their own branding and equipment performing the installation of screen protectors in apple stores. lmao.

lol if anyone thinks stock market price is an indicator of success or failure for Apple's products. the only thing investors care about is explosive growth, it has nothing to do with the quality of the products they make. investors will put money into a factory that shits into peoples mouths while they drone down an assembly line watching reruns of married with children if they think that they'll make a return on investment on it.

An interesting bug relating to the date and time system in iOS has emerged recently. Several users have discovered that if you change your iOS device’s date to January 1st, 1970, your device will be permanently bricked. You can see the process in the video below, and while I don’t have any desire to try it out to confirm, it’s pretty apparent based on separate reports that it’s a legitimate issue.


In order to change your date and time settings, you have to go to the Settings app, tap the General menu, choose Date & Time, and turn off the Set Automatically option. From there, you’ll have to scroll through the menu until it reaches as far back as it goes. After that, go back to the General menu then go back into the Date & Time settings and scroll backwards again. You’ll have to repeat this process until you reach 1970. The video below shows specifically how to do it.

After you successfully set your iOS device’s date to January 1st, 1970, you’ll then want to reboot your phone and book a trip to the Apple Store. Once you reboot, your device will reportedly not come back on. You can put it into DFU and even get iTunes to recognize it to perform a restore, but even after that, it will remain stuck on the boot up screen.

This bug affects any iOS device that uses a 64-bit processor and is running iOS 8 or newer, including iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches. For those unsure, 64 bit processors are the A7, A8, A8X, A9, and A9X (iPhone 5s or later, for instance). If you use a 32 bit device, you’re in the clear.

A Reddit thread offers a handful of possible causes of the issue. The most reasonable appears to be that it all comes down to time zones and that setting the date to January 1st, 1970 causes the internal clock to be set to less than zero, which confuses the device and crashes it.

Another user claims that he inadvertently suffered this bug when he changed the time zone on his iPhone from Bejing back to New York, experiencing the same issue.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
tbf my clamshell ibook and wallstreet g3 powerbook running os9 both warn me at boot that setting the date to "before january 1st 1970" will cause unexpected behaviour

frankly it's just stebe's fault for not anticipating time travel to before 1970
