Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Hey. New board.

I spent an hour and a half today fiddling with CSS for my CS class course notes. It's got a solarized color palette and code blocks with box shadows now, heh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Can anyone help with an iPhone? I needed to get an iPhone for work, and a friend gave me her old iPhone5 with the condition that I clean all her info off of it. Is there any way for me to do that without having her password? She gave me an unlock PIN but it's asking for her password to her gmail account and I doubt she'll be comfortable giving me that.

Coding and Sleeping

I was trying to line up a couple of third-party controls while about five flex-boxes deep and the controls had some really weird width issues where they had a lot right-hand padding for no apparent reason. One of those things where if I could hard code widths it would take a few seconds, but, of course, you don't want to hard code widths unless you absolutely have to.

Our wings are not tired.

Looking at my iPhone - Go to Settings - Passwords & Accounts - GMail - Delete account

You shouldn't need the password to delete it.

Sounds like the controls are the problem, not CSS, but yeah, oof. Definitely so much going on in CSS that it can feel crazy. Thank God for chrome dev tools.

Laura, I'm scared to do that! I don't want to delete her gmail account, just remove her personal info from this phone.

Hey. New board.

Don't worry zen, iPhones don't have control over google. That will just delete it from the phone.

Hey. New board.

You could also reset the phone. That would clear everything off and let you set it up fresh. Settings->General->reset->erase all content and settings

Ha, Gris! So confusing, I thought Google controlled everything! Thanks for that, I really didn't expect it would be that easy to reset an iPhone.

Hey. New board.

This is my favorite little project I've done for my students in a long time, and I learned quite a bit about CSS while making it.

It won't be useful to anybody who isn't in my CS class, but I was proud and just want to show it off, heh.
