Well guys

What happens when someone does this?

>>52932019
brick'd

Why would a reset to unics time 0 brick your phone?

>>52932274
Because appul can't into unix.

as much as these are usually fun to laugh at the retards (LOL MICROWAVE UR PHONE FOR SUPER FAST CHARING! SOUNDS GOOD) I sorta feel bad for these people. I honestly might have tried it myself, who would reasonably expect that just changing the date is a potential brick.

So you can't even DFU restore after this?

>>52932321
I thought it was strange you needed to reboot, but yeah, it's not very obvious. Who would assume that something so simple would brick their phone? It's not like I have an iphone anyway though

>>52932321
This, the other ones are common sense to not do but this one all you'd expect to happen is a different date

>>52932337
fairly clever on whatever prick came up with it though I guess, since this type of thing is super common in general (i.e. if the date is christmas on this device or that website you get snowflakes and that kind of shit)

>>52931953
Have we started the fire?

You can fix it by taking the battery out and putting it back.

How does this even brick your phone?

>>52932384
UNIX counts time by counting seconds starting from 0. 0 is January 1st 1970. The main point here is that it counts based on GMT.

Which means, if you live in a minut GMT zone, like GMT-5, 6 or 7 like USA you will technically end up at December 31st 1969, which brings the time to "minus 0". This causes panic in the software.

Most of *NIX implementations like Android or Linux has fixed this issue a while ago. Apple hasn't.

>>52932384
computers generally tell time by keeping track of how many seconds have passed since Jan 1, 1970, commonly referred to as the "Unix Time" or "Epoch Time".

So when your date is Feb 12, 2016, the seconds since epoch time is 1455235200. The software does all sorts of fancy shit with this number. It expects it to be a large number, and so it'll do stuff like division and shit. Anyway, if you set your time to Jan 1, 1970, that number is now 0. Well, what happens if you try to divide by 0? Fucking crash.

And it gets worse. When you take Timezones into account, that number might actually be a negative, which could fuck things up further.

TL;DR: The boot code doesn't sanitize/check the time function input properly.

>>52932415
UNIX time. Setting it to 1/1/1970 in the US results in a negative time, so it refuses to work with the security features of 64bit Apple CPUs.

Wat

How does apple manage to screw up something so simple

>>52932447
Apple is known for having some of the shittiest designers and programmers in the smartphone business. It's a brand.

>>52932447
Because their programmers are fucking morons. Did you know that elements in the Mac OSX UI are basically just Adobe PDFs? Transparency effects lag like fucking shit on Retina Macs.
Watch the Keynote for Mac OSX 10.0 to see for yourself, they haven't changed the UI renderer in over 17 years.

its called PostScript dumdum.

>>52932505
The clock might not be constant though, also because the framerate is relatively slow it gives the programmer plenty of time to let gameplay code complete before the next frame goes out.

>>52932505
It's not some random date.

Shamelessly stolen from Stackexchange:

>Early versions of unix measured system time in 1/60 s intervals. This meant that a 32-bit unsigned integer could only represent a span of time less than 829 days. For this reason, the time represented by the number 0 (called the epoch) had to be set in the very recent past. As this was in the early 1970s, the epoch was set to 1971-1-1.

>Later, the system time was changed to increment every second, which increased the span of time that could be represented by a 32-bit unsigned integer to around 136 years. As it was no longer so important to squeeze every second out of the counter, the epoch was rounded down to the nearest decade, thus becoming 1970-1-1. One must assume that this was considered a bit neater than 1971-1-1.

>Note that a 32-bit signed integer using 1970-1-1 as its epoch can represent dates up to 2038-1-19, on which date it will wrap around to 1901-12-13.

I can understand how lots of people would/will fall for this, made me wonder for a second until I realized that this would cause data issues with shit on the phone and I wouldn't even bother for the useless novelty.
Also, I had a couple of grim years working for them and know that certain features will not work as intended if you don't have automatic date set even if you manually set it correctly.

Get ready for devices to be even more closed to users thanks to shit like this, I don't even blame the haters, I blame the idiots who let this sort of critical vulnerability open.

meh, not everyone -buys- apple. my dad used to have an iPhone because it was a gift. and we used to use apple products back in the beige plastic era. he wasn't to know. then he got some official software update that literally burnt out the phone's wifi and hopped right back off that train. i bet he'd have 'fallen' for this

>>52932528
But why do they use signed integer for it? If you use that extra bit, 32 bit UNIX time will last us ~60 years more

Why do they not set the minimum date as the day off that ios release?
Sounds fucking stupid.

>>52933309
>Apple can't program so all BSDs suck

>>52933325
AFAIK, it's just a super old piece of software that is the foundation for a lot of stuff. Fixing it properly would break a lot of stupid shit so people just patch it independently when they integrate it into their own system and hope nothing else breaks. You can see how that works out.

>>52933337
Because that's not how UNIX time works. If they used a different time system they could easily do that, but why rewrite software when existing free software can do the job?

>>52933369
>why rewrite software when existing free software can do the job
See >>52931953

>>52933382
Because I'm sure, while writing the software, they knew about the very specific bug and 4chan would make a meme about it.

>>52933405
I'm sure they knew it existed but assumed it was so obscure no one would figure it out.

This happened to me last night. I was stupid and totally fell for that picture. I went this morning to the nearest Apple product service store. It was hard to explain and one of the guys there did laugh at me. On top of that, they noticed my iPhone 6 was bent, so I can forget the warranty and have to buy a new phone. Luckily there was a guy who probably knew about this or he was just smart and removed the battery and put it back in. Works now but lesson learned.

>>52933432
>iPhone 6 was bent so no warranty
But didn't all iPhone 6 phones bend rather easily in pockets?

>>52933415
Which means that the software works just fine. You're not getting the point.

Why are you assuming that a company like apple would not cut corners in software development? Why rewrite an existing system just to fix one bug? Writing software and fixing bugs is expensive and time consuming. It is wrong of them to leave a bug like that unpatched if they knew about it but you are making way too many assumptions on their part.

I'm not defending them, I just see where they are coming from.

Besides, some guy in software development probably mentioned this to his boss and his boss told him not to fix it because something else needed to be worked on instead.

>>52933455
Yes, iPhone 6 phones because the quality of the aluminium isn't as good as in the new phones. Especially when you keep it in your pocket while you sit it's guaranteed it will bent.

>changing the date bricks the device

>>52933191
How do you plan to let it run down? Rtc modules have small power usage. You may try to run it down by putting a resistor between chargerw ports, but it may not work and thats not a thing average user would do

>>52933332
>32 bit UNIX time will last us ~60 years more
That's IPv4-apologisist-tier. The real solution is to do what OpenBSD did and use 64 Bit.

As to why it is signed, maybe to report errors in C API.

The alleged problem is that some variables on boot get wrong values, if your timezone isn't UTC this will set the unix time to a negative number which somehow fucks up booting.

Some people yesterday said it works to let the battery run down, but it requires leaving it in the boot loop for hours and then power it up again a few times.

Others reported that waiting for the number of hours between you and UTC (e.g. 5 hours for EST) would correctly advance the time to a positive number after which it boots again.

That's about all there's to it, now please stop making duplicate threads on this

the top half of this comment is correct, but people that has a lot of money typically didn't obtain it by wasting a lot of it.

If my phone broke I would literally just visit a store and buy a new phone the same day, but I've held onto my Samsung S4 due to the fact that I bought a big ass battery that lasts 3 days, and is way more practical for wasting time at when I'm at work.

Well you see, transistors aren't smart enough to know what time it is without it being set someway some how. You would have very few options outside of doing it with a battery.
1.) Have a time synchronization server that every iphone device connects to every x units of time to check what time it is.
(this would be expensive, and could even be not as accurate as a battery)

2.) Use the bsd system with the base time
(not necessarily bad if your devs aren't shit)

tl;dr they should have used a watch battery or something

it's a apple product. every error is a "may as well buy another one" bricked because that is the business strategy. You need to set aside about $1000 per year for apple products if you want to be part of the ecosystem. If something breaks or if there is a new version and they make the old versions slower.

you might remove the battery to fix it, but even professionals often puncture batteries on iphones when they try to remove it. And I mean people who sucessfully have removed the battery hundreds of times might still quite often puncture the battery and make it blow up. It needs to be done with a fire extinguisher and in a well ventilated area.

The span would be from the minimum to the maximum. If the int is unsigned, 1970 would be the minimum. Since that sentence referred to a signed int, 1970 was right in the middle instead, because of how signed ints work

this is the second time I've seen this meme repeated on /g/

the alpha was never a consumer product, it was never intended to be a consumer product, the closest thing it ever had to a "consumer" targeted device was the multia, which was built to be a shitty lobotomized workstation for large networked offices. both the alpha and windows NT as a whole were garbage for home users who were mostly still running their shitty 16-bit DOS kludges from the late '80s, something that combo would have only done excruciatingly slower than if you spent several thousand less on a cheap pentium-75 or 486dx2/66

I know there are a lot of NAND logic chips out there but I wanted to go even more minimalistic than that.
It was good learning experience if anything, I inhaled a lot of solder fumes but finally mastered soldering. I first made a half adder accidentally, then scraped that circuit and made a full adder.
I made individual xor gates and then put them together in the circuit. After that it was pretty straightforward. It could only add 2 numbers as long as their sum was less than 63, or 6 bits because I fell short on parts kek
For a highschool project, it was more than enough.
