  I hate scammers who use "crypto" as an excuse, they give everyone and all legitimate businesses a bad name I have been following this scam "Crypto" company for a long time. They even had the audacity to open 4 shops in Malta promoting their scam to innocent people in person. They are called DistributeX and have also been organising cult-like "community events" to recruit victims They promise easy money for simple daily tasks (clicking green crypto icons on their app) + big returns on deposits starting from €140. Higher tiers require thousands of euros with massive claimed payouts. 180-day lock-in, referral bonuses, luxury rewards… the classic Scammer's pitch. I have since discovered they have: - NO clear registered company in Malta - No verifiable withdrawals (180-day rule + daily task requirement) - Physical “community centres” that feel like recruitment offices - Targeting mostly immigrant foreigners and using dodgy testimonials - App not on Apple Store but they are on Google Play! I have found warnings and court cases in other countries for this eg. Mauritius FSC alert I NEED YOUR HELP TO HELP DELETE THEIR APP ON GOOGLE PLAY This app should NOT be on Google Play. Apple already rejected or removed it, Google needs to do the same. Please report the DistributeX app on Google Play as a scam / fraudulent app. Spread awareness so more people don’t lose their money. Let’s shut this down before more people fall victims. I will keep you posted with updates and more info very soon. They have almost no official social media presence. Instead, only their “employees” and recruiters promote the scheme on personal profiles. I strongly suspect many of these recruiters are victims themselves, caught in the same trap and incentivised to bring in more people to keep the cycle going. When this inevitably collapses, they’ll likely be left holding the bag. @GooglePlay @Android

  My friend's iPhone 13 suddenly started malfunctioning At first, she thought the battery was simply draining too fast. But after a few days, it became clear that the problem was much more serious. The battery had started swelling, and the phone's body was beginning to bulge from the inside. The biggest surprise ? "The phone was completely out of warranty." No AppleCare. No extended coverage. Both of us assumed that replacing the battery would cost thousands of rupees. But what happened at the Apple Store in DLF Mall, Noida completely surprised us. The staff inspected the device and explained that a swollen battery is considered a safety hazard. A little later, they informed us that the battery would be replaced FREE of charge. We thought it might be some special discount or adjustment, but when the bill arrived, it showed "₹0.00" At a time when many companies shift the entire cost to customers once the warranty expires, receiving a free battery replacement for an out of warranty phone was genuinely unexpected. This experience taught us an important lesson If your phone's battery is swelling, the screen is lifting, or the body of the phone is starting to separate, don't ignore it. It's not just a device issue it can also be a serious safety risk. Sometimes, a company's true reputation isn't built through advertisements, but through the way it helps customers when they face unexpected problems.

  @ViuvasDoArcade I had this issue for my game on PlayStore and Apple Store when I made it free ad supported instead of premium, they offer no easy option to know if the player purchased the game...

  Update regarding this issue: I just visited an authorized Apple Service Center. They told me that if Apple approves the replacement, it will take about 1–2 months because the replacement unit needs to be imported from Singapore. Even though I have the case number and a letter from the Apple Store Shinsaibashi, they said those documents don’t guarantee that my iPhone will be replaced. If Apple declines the replacement request, I’ll need to contact Apple Support again. I’m really hoping they’ll replace my device. In the meantime, I’ll be using my other iPhone as my main phone.

  A man noticed his iPhone kept showing “Storage Almost Full,” even though he barely had any photos. He deleted apps. Cleared messages. Removed downloads. But the warning kept coming back every couple of weeks. At one point, he was ready to walk into the Apple Store and buy a new iPhone. A Genius Bar employee stopped him and said: “Before you spend a thousand dollars, let me show you something.” She opened: Settings → General → iPhone Storage Then she shook her head and said: “There are 7 hidden things quietly eating your storage. They come turned on by default, and most people never notice them.” In the next few minutes, she showed him things like cached data, system files, old message attachments, background app storage, and other hidden space users don’t usually check. Within 8 minutes, everything became clear: The phone wasn’t the problem. The hidden storage usage was. And just like that… he didn’t need a new iPhone anymore.

  I first visited the Apple Store in Jaipur when the problem was intermittent. The technicians couldn't reproduce the issue, so no defect was found at that time. Now that the issue has become frequent, I revisited the store and was informed that the display needs replacement. (5/8)

  @ShishirShelke1 The Apple Store in Taiwan looking like a giant MacBook from above is exactly the kind of detail-first design Apple is known for. Most companies would slap a logo on a box. Apple treats every retail touchpoint as a product design problem. This level of commitment to the brand experience is why Apple's retail stores generate more revenue per square foot than any other retailer in the world.

  @LucianSkye I read the rice trick doesn’t work well because there will still be debris 😭 so it might make it worse…. The problem with the Apple Store is that it’s 5 years out of warranty- so I’m not sure how much they can actually do past telling me to buy a new computer :(

  @AlgoSnafu the cord on the first is definitely wrong in a few ways. I gave the details in another reply. There is a bigger issue with the table, tho. And you nailed the scrape on the panel, but there is a crazier issue there, too. And alignments - so important in the apple store.

  CHINESE DEVS PACKED 1,000 MAC MINIS INTO A SINGLE DATA CENTER AND BUILT A $9,000,000-A-YEAR AI BUSINESS OUT OF APPLE'S CHEAPEST BOX. one thousand silver boxes. rack after rack, floor to ceiling, a wall of fans roaring to keep the whole room cool. Apple sold every one of them for $599 as a desktop for students and creators. these guys turned all thousand into a private cloud that rents compute Western companies charge a fortune for. the build cost around $600,000 once. electricity runs a few thousand a month. and roughly a hundred clients pay monthly retainers to run their models on hardware that never touches the public cloud. run the math and it stops looking like a hobby — boxes bought once, power measured in the low thousands, revenue clearing tens of millions before anyone in the West notices. OpenAI raised billions to build data centers. these guys raised nothing, bought a thousand boxes off the shelf, and quietly undercut the entire industry. the craziest part isn't the scale. it's that every piece of it was sitting in the Apple Store the whole time. tomorrow I'm breaking down how a farm this size is actually wired — the racks, the cooling, the software holding a thousand machines together. save this before running your own cloud stops sounding insane ↓

  @thekitze shoot your mac with a gun every night at 10pm. tomorrow morning go to the apple store, buy a new mac, ssh into a server, bam done. more seriously what about MDM that locks down your device enough so that you can't change the relevant settings; and the only person with access to the MDM after initial setup is someone who is not you and not bribable by you?

  A man's iPhone battery was dying by 2 PM every day. But his Battery Health was at 99%. He constantly closed background apps. Turned down his brightness. Lived on Low Power Mode. The battery still melted like ice in the sun. He went to the Apple Store, ready to pay $89 for a battery replacement. The Genius Bar employee held up a hand: "Keep your money. Let me show you something." She opened Settings → Privacy & Security and sighed. "There are silent 'vampire' features bleeding your battery dry. Apple turns almost all of them on by default. Nobody tells you they exist. Let's fix it." Here's what she showed him in the next 8 minutes. 🧵

  @bowscan Nope. What is his name, if this isn’t a scam? He launched this project on Robinhood and tricked buyers into investing in a product, and then walked away from it less than 24 hours later. Not, hey this is a memecoin, but a real project. Either way I’m going to report ******** out of it. He used Apple Store to create this X account, so it will be easy to track him down.

  A 31-YEAR-OLD IN BELGRADE IS PULLING $8,400 A MONTH OFF FIVE MAC MINIS RUNNING IN A TOWER ON HIS DESK. The whole stack costs $19 a month in electricity to operate. The hardware paid for itself in week one. The setup is so quiet his girlfriend didn't notice when he turned it on. His name is Stefan. This is the cleanest example of the new solo operator economy I've seen all year and the numbers deserve a full breakdown. The hardware is five M4 Mac Minis stacked in a tower on his desk. Each one has a number written on it in marker, 1 through 5, so he knows which node dropped when one goes silent. A pink dumbbell sits on the shelf above them. A can of compressed air on the windowsill. The whole thing hums quieter than the mini fridge in the corner. The five machines are clustered with EXO into one virtual machine. EXO is the open-source framework that lets you string together consumer hardware into a distributed inference rig without needing a degree in systems engineering. The setup runs Llama 70B locally on MLX, Apple's machine learning framework optimized for unified memory. Nothing he runs ever touches a cloud server. No API costs. No rate limits. No latency tax. The model runs on his desk and answers in milliseconds. Here's the workflow he built around it. A client uploads a raw manuscript. Anywhere from 60,000 to 120,000 words. Indie author novels, self-help books, faceless YouTube channel scripts, the kind of long-form content that needs narration but doesn't have a studio budget. The Llama 70B model does the reading work first. It ingests the raw text, cleans the formatting, splits the chapters automatically, and tags every line of dialogue with the emotional tone it should be read in. Excited. Whispered. Angry. Resigned. Then it writes the chapter descriptions that faceless YouTube channels paste directly under their uploads. All of it done locally. All of it done in one pass. Then an open voice model on the same stack takes over and narrates the entire book in a single locked voice. The voice never gets tired, never asks for a re-record, never raises its day rate, never catches a cold the day before a session. The same voice across every chapter, every book, every client. Consistency that human narrators physically cannot match. A local audio mastering model handles the final polish. Compression, leveling, breath cleanup, room tone matching. The output is studio-quality audio ready for upload. The stack renders 28 hours of clean narration per month while he sleeps. He wakes up, exports the files, sends them to clients, invoices them, and goes back to whatever he wants to do with his day. Now the part that breaks people. The power draw across all five machines running at full load is 180 watts. He has a KUMAN meter plugged into the wall to track it. A single gaming PC idles higher than that. The entire AI studio he built consumes less electricity than a hair dryer on low. At Serbian residential rates that works out to roughly $19 a month in operating cost. Eight thousand four hundred dollars in, nineteen dollars out. A 442x margin on power alone before you account for the fact that the hardware paid for itself the first week he turned it on. His girlfriend asked why the power bill didn't move after he built it. He told her it can't, the machines barely draw anything. She asked what the whole thing cost to set up. He told her. She asked why he didn't build ten. That's the right question. A traditional audiobook studio has a narrator on a day rate, a booth, an engineer, and a monthly power bill that buries solo operators. The cheapest professional narrator in the US charges around $200 per finished hour. The cheapest decent one runs closer to $400. A 10-hour audiobook costs an indie author at least $2,000 in narration alone, plus mastering, plus mixing, plus the three week turnaround time while the narrator fits the project into their schedule. Stefan delivers the same product for a fraction of the cost, in 48 hours, with consistent quality across every chapter, and his only constraint is how fast he can find clients. The economics are completely deranged compared to traditional service businesses. He doesn't pay rent on a studio. He doesn't pay a narrator. He doesn't pay for cloud compute. His marginal cost per audiobook is approximately the electricity it takes to run the cluster for the duration of the render, which is measured in pennies. A few realizations worth sitting with. The frontier of AI economics is no longer in San Francisco. It's in apartments in Belgrade, Lagos, Manila, and Tbilisi, where operators with low overhead and high technical curiosity are quietly running businesses that look impossible from the outside. The geographic distribution of who actually makes money from AI is going to look nothing like the geographic distribution of who funded the labs. Local inference is the quiet revolution nobody on this app is talking about loudly enough. Every workflow that currently runs on OpenAI or Anthropic APIs has a cousin that runs on a Mac cluster for the price of an electrical outlet. The companies paying $30k a month in cloud bills are going to wake up in 18 months and find their margins eaten by operators paying $19. The audiobook market is just the beginning. Every service business with high human labor costs and predictable output requirements is about to get the same treatment. Voiceover work, transcription, translation, copywriting, image editing, video editing, customer support, technical writing. Each one of these has a local-inference version waiting to be built by someone with a stack of Mac Minis and an EXO config file. Stefan didn't invent anything. He just connected the right pieces. The pieces have been sitting on GitHub for over a year. The Mac Minis have been on shelves at every Apple Store. EXO is free. The voice models are open. The orchestration is a weekend project. The only barrier was knowing it was possible. Now you know.
