- Is that a fancy name for a pacemaker? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 08:50 1

Someone brought the thin Oreos into the office today. What crime against humanity is this?! -- nm - Mop Feb 14, 08:43 11
- I'm anti Mop - I rather have the thin Oreos or thin Chips Ahoy - they taste better but you get less cookie for the same price. - Pippy - Cupid's over used bow Feb 14, 08:52 2
  - ...hmmm....and I'm apparently just a cookie snob -- (link) - JD Feb 14, 08:55
  - We are now mortal enemies. -- nm - Mop Feb 14, 08:54
- Ya know, I thought the same thing - until I tried the thin golden Oreos...oh my god, they're effing delicious! -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 14, 08:46 6
  - They are good but the fundamental joy of the Oreo is the filling, not the cookie - oblique Feb 14, 08:54
  - You did two things wrong there. -- nm - spamlet Feb 14, 08:51 4
    - Disagreeing with Mop is akin to betting on Bacon's chosen winner. It's a fool's errand. -- nm - Mop Feb 14, 08:57

Google is useless. How can i reset an ipad to factory settings if we have no access to the itunes account? (is there ANY way?) - Andie Feb 14, 08:42 19
- Perhaps you can take it to the Apple Store, but my research online flies in the face of what Kilbo is saying (and my own experience). -- nm - Mop Feb 14, 09:01 3
  - I'd think the Apple Store would be hesitant to do anything about it, based on some of the responses below about anti-theft measures. -- nm - Shaun Feb 14, 09:10 2
    - Some proof of the relationship between the employee and her parent may be enough. -- nm - Mop Feb 14, 09:12 1
      - That's just what someone who stole an iPad would say -- nm - oblique Feb 14, 09:23
- The problem you're going to have is that the iPad is attached to the Apple ID. Without recovering the ID you won't ever be able to use that iPad even - oblique Feb 14, 08:46 5
  - Meh, I'm pretty sure I did exactly this (reset an iPad w/o password) with my ex's iPad, which I then sold, thus my recent Apple Store credit issue. -- nm - Mop Feb 14, 08:49 1
    - It all depends if Find My iPhone is enabled which registers it to the account. If not, it's possible but once it is enabled, it's a nightmare to - oblique Feb 14, 08:50
  - this is so annoying. -- nm - Andie Feb 14, 08:47 2
    - The tradeoff between security and convenience. Apple wanted to lower the popularity of their hardware as theft targets so wanted to make them - JD Feb 14, 08:49
    - It's part of their lost/stolen protections. We struggle with it constantly here at work but have been able to implement a hardware program with them - oblique Feb 14, 08:49
- So the Find My feature is active and that's what's requiring the account information? -- (edited) - JD Feb 14, 08:45
- Can you actually access the iPad and reach the reset options in the Settings menu? -- nm - Mop Feb 14, 08:44 7
  - yes. but it asks for the code. when we try to do anything. -- nm - Andie Feb 14, 08:45 6
    - Your best option is to gain access to the email account that the apple ID is associated with so you can receive emails Apple will send you. Then - oblique Feb 14, 08:48 4
      - right, but we can't. that's the whole thing. -- nm - Andie Feb 14, 08:48 3
        
        You may find it is easier to get the email vendor to reset the password on the account so you can access it vs. Apple - oblique Feb 14, 08:49 2
        
        *giggle* You know that you're bullet pointing how to hack via social engineering ;-) -- nm - JD Feb 14, 08:50 1
        
        Luckily for me I own the domain where most of our apple IDs are registered to so I just access the mailboxes myself :) - oblique Feb 14, 08:51
    - Ah, yeah. That makes sense. No shortage of tutorials on how to reset your iPad without password, though. Here's a video. -- (link) - Mop Feb 14, 08:47 [youtube]

If you bet that health care would bring down the New Brunswick minority Govt, you can almost go collect your winnings...almost, not quite yet though -- (link) - Beaker Feb 14, 08:25 3
- Did you explain how shortening wait times in ERs is somehow bad? -- nm - Mop Feb 14, 08:56
- wait, a MINORITY government proposed those overnight emergency room closings? that was unwise. -- nm - Andie Feb 14, 08:26 1
  - yeah, it was crazy he didn't have everyone locked down and instep before doing it - Beaker Feb 14, 08:38

Coronavirus fears at Heathrow: 'EIGHT planes on lockdown' on runway -- nm - decline Feb 14, 08:17 3

- on the runway? Impossible ;-) - JD Feb 14, 08:27
- And we thought being stuck on a cruise ship for 2 weeks would be rough. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 08:23
