Sorry OP, but you likely have a stolen device and I'm going to lock this topic since GBAtemp is not the place to discuss how to get stolen property working again. I realise that you may be an innocent buyer, but the only thing you can really do is to try to get hold of the seller and get a refund or attempt to contact the owner or possibly the police since you're in possession of stolen property.

That's not necessarily true. Most of the time, these are devices simply sold to third party resellers where the original owner forgot or didn't know or couldn't disable the iCloud lock. Usually third party resellers buy iPads with broken screens and such for cheap, replace the screen, and then sell it off as refurbished without bothering/caring it has an iCloud lock.

It's a small minority of stolen iDevices that are sold via places like eBay or Swappable or whatever. These days, if someone is selling a stolen iDevice, they replace the mobo so the serial number can't be blocked or detected as stolen.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
