  Who do really rich people go to for their tech issues? Like, say I'm a billionaire, and I have a problem with my Photos application. Surely I just don't go to the Apple Store...? Do I?

  @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 :(

  After a 750 km road trip from home, our @cybertruck threw the PCS2_a094 error. Apparently it’s a well-known issue that disables all AC charging. The truck will only charge at a Supercharger. Tesla’s response? A repair appointment 3 weeks from now, and they actually tried to reassure me by saying Supercharging would be free. So I guess I’m supposed to waste an hour every few days driving 9 km to the nearest Supercharger, waiting for an 80% charge, then driving back home. That’s completely absurd. If this is a known failure, why isn’t there a recall? Why are owners expected to live with a vehicle that suddenly loses a core function? And the service experience keeps getting worse. Last time I drove to the Service Center, waited 3 hours, only to be told the tires they had ordered never arrived. I had to come back two weeks later. @Tesla seems to have very little respect for their customers’ time. The attitude is starting to remind me of those teenage Apple Store geniuses who ask whether you’ve installed the latest software update when your battery is physically dead. Love the truck. The service? It’s becoming harder and harder to defend.

  Also "having to forcefully stop yourself from (over)sharing on a special interest" I'm so screwed, I once seen a coworker ask why his iPhone wasn't working and I really wanted to fix it, but that would seem creepy because I'm NOT at an Apple Store yet

  No be you go teach me phone business or talking about 13 pro max because you be dealer too. Which one is I don’t import the ones with original screen ? If you like buy 13 pro max from Apple Store by yourself, it’ll still hit the green screen if it’ll do. This is the general issue about the iPhone 13 Pro Max globally. This has nothing to do with refurbished or original stock. You’re the one probably buying a refurbished phone. I import my stock from Canada and USA directly from legit suppliers. Like I’ve said before, it is not all 13 pro max that do comes with the screen issue, because even the ones I sold from last 2 years to last year. The earliest complain I received from someone is after 8 months of usage. 13 pro also has screen issues, but the ones I sold to customers from my stocks has never had any screen issue up to date, but does that mean 13 pro also does not have screen issue? I don’t like it when vendors comes to manage and spit trash. Go and post it on your own page that iPhone 13 Pro Max doesn’t have screen issue at all then sell it out all.

  @_TheJasonC Let’s not forget the trust factor. I’ve seen plenty of stories about the poor customer service with Samsung. I’ve experienced it myself with issues with trade ins. They’ve tried to tell me I didn’t send in a device in the condition I said it was. The minute I mentioned having photos and videos of the condition and me packing it up, all of a sudden, they weren’t going to try to issue a charge back to me anymore. That happened a few times. Then, there’s the turn around for repairs. I’ve had a few things repaired by Apple and they’ve had them back to me within a few days. Shipped out on Monday and back to me by Wednesday. I’ve seen people have Samsung take weeks to months. Also, the ability to easily message with Apple support through iMessage. There’s trust that if you have an issue, you will be able to get ahold of someone and they’ll do their best to help you if they can. Yes, there can be the occasional poor support, but it’s far less often than the numbers I’ve seen with issues with Samsung. Google has their issues as well. My sister had an issue with her Pixel 6 Pro. They replaced it 4 times before she got so frustrated that she ended up just buying the 9 Pro XL. Neither Google nor Verizon seemed to understand the importance of keeping the customer happy. She was close to getting an iPhone and switching carriers. She’s been a Pixel user since the first Pixel. Apple is about not only the ecosystem but their post sales support and how they stand behind their products. Things like, if I switch from individual services to Apple One, they’ll refund the unused days prorated. Things like, when I had some dead pixels form on a MacBook Pro Display, I took it into the Apple Store, they ran some test and while they were doing those tests, they had things my son could do so he wasn’t bored and as a parent that is significant. He played some games on an iPad and watched something on the Apple TV. I’ve not once walked into an Apple Store and been ignored. But, I’ve tried to get help from Samsung reps inside a Best Buy and it was like I was asking a lot of them. It’s about training of their staff and how their employees treat the customers. I’ve never felt rushed either. I was picking up an iPhone, last year and did a trade in and they let me make sure everything was transferring over and made sure I didn’t need anything while my apps and settings transferred over and my carrier service moved over. The store closed and they let us finish up what we were doing while they did their closing duties. When we left, then had a bag with candy that each of us (my wife, son and I) got to take some. It was around some holiday. For me, it’s like being part of a family or big friend group. It comes down to how often have I been frustrated vs how often have I been very pleased with my experience and even had someone go above and beyond what I expected. Those experiences create loyalty.

  @ProtonSupport Here’s what the proyon ai says. The operation couldn’t be completed. (Common networking.VpnApiService) Error error 0.) Once that was cleared then this popped up on trying to access the account “Invalid Refresh Token”. Proton support couldn’t get past that but did give me a web page to try to figure it out. I searched the forums and tried the sequential steps from the link given me until bed time. Next morning I removed the VPN file and reloaded a fresh file. I then got a message from Pay Pal ( I had made a purchase through the Apple store. ) So I immediately got connected to Pay Pal and showed them the files. She sent a file that showed I had been charged for a software I already had a paid contract for a year ago. I was told they would check out my info and get back to me. I got an auto email and the charge had gone through so it couldn’t be stopped. At that point I had no vpn on two lap-tops but still had proton mail on both. Awhile latter I received an email that Pay Pal would cover the refund that will take several days to show up. I have a Proton Plus that has Mail and VPN that Proton Ai immediately the blocked now 4 days ago they say because I filed a greviance. It won’t be addressed until July 5th. I have received NOTHING from proton? I suspect I’m not the only one that has run into this. Look through all your support tickets and fix them all not just mine that’s in the public.

  1/ Parents, we don’t have to choose between protecting our kids and protecting our privacy. Unrestricted smartphones should be treated like alcohol: 21 and older only. Nothing changes for adults. 2/ Here’s the part no one talks about: I cannot protect my child from what’s on their classmate’s phone. One unrestricted device and the whole group has access to the full adult internet. That’s the real problem we need to solve.3/ Privacy is the line between a person and a possession. A slave was property because someone else claimed the right to watch, record, control, permit, and deny his life. A free person requires privacy.4/ Some people say “if a liquor store can check an ID, so can the Apple Store.” That sounds simple… but it’s not the same thing. A liquor store checks you once, in person, for one item. Turning every app, website, and device into a permanent ID checkpoint creates a surveillance system for adults. That’s not protection — that’s control.5/ We all agree kids shouldn’t have unrestricted access to pornography, gambling, addictive feeds, and strangers. The easy fix is right in front of us: Stop handing children unrestricted adult-grade devices by default.6/ Make youth-safe electronics the standard for anyone under 21 — unless a parent is directly supervising. If a company wants its phone, app, or operating system in a child’s life, it should prove it belongs there. Adults keep buying and using whatever they want. No digital ID. No face scans. No adult internet passport.7/ This protects kids at the device level before they ever reach the adult internet. It keeps adults completely free. Privacy for grown-ups. Safety for kids. We can have both.8/ Parents — does this make sense? Drop a 🔥 if you agree we should protect children without forcing every adult to surrender their privacy. What’s the one thing that worries you most about kids and phones right now?

  @jwblackwell Anyone with any sense has now switched off system updates on their mobile. This will cause significant issues with viruses. Also it could totally tank the new phone market as people realise they are buying crippled phones. Meanwhile direct sales of China phones without crippleware will be rife. Samsung, Google and Apple will be badly damaged. It might even see the advent of Harmony OS taking off where it has been restricted for so long. If having access to the Google or Apple store means the government controlling your life, a whole generation of users will abandon the status quo.

  Setup 9: She replaced the battery instead of buying a new AirTag. After 11 months, his keys AirTag stopped chirping as loudly. The Precision Finding response was slower. The battery was dying. He assumed the AirTag was disposable. Most people do. He was about to buy a replacement for $29. She took the AirTag, pressed down on the stainless steel back, twisted counterclockwise, and popped it open. Inside was a standard CR2032 battery the same coin battery that powers watches, calculators, and car key fobs. Available at every pharmacy, grocery store, and gas station in America. $3 for a single battery. $6 for a 4-pack on Amazon. She popped out the old battery, dropped in a new one, twisted the back clockwise, and the AirTag chirped to life. Full power. Ready for another year. The entire replacement took 15 seconds. No tools. No appointment. No Apple Store visit. No subscription. She told him this was the part most people don't understand about AirTags. There's no monthly fee. No annual subscription. No service plan. The AirTag costs $29 once, the battery costs $3 per year, and the Find My network the billion-device global tracking infrastructure is free forever. The total cost of ownership for a single AirTag over 5 years is roughly $44. Compare that to Tile, which charges $2.99/month for premium tracking features $36/year, $180 over 5 years. Or Samsung SmartTag, which works only within Samsung's smaller device network. The AirTag costs less per year, uses the largest tracking network on earth, and runs on a battery you can buy at a gas station. She'd been replacing the batteries on all 7 of their AirTags once a year for $21 total. The entire family's tracking system wallet, keys, car, dog, backpack, 2 suitcases costs $21/year to maintain.

  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

  @VicVijayakumar You still have to pay full price for the replacement until the broken iPhone is shipped back. I think it’s more economical to go to an Apple Store and pay $99 for a swap.

  I went straight from the curb to the Apple Store in Honolulu, because surely, I thought, Apple could help me. My phone was erased, and the attacker had switched on Activation Lock, the anti-theft feature that binds a device to its owner's Apple ID. The irony was total: the security designed to protect me from a thief was now the thief's tool for locking me out of my own phone. I could not unlock the device in my own hand. Neither could Apple. At the Genius Bar, with my original purchase receipt and a stack of government IDs on the counter, the technicians told me there was nothing they could do. Their best advice was to buy a new phone. Standing right there at the Genius Bar, I made my first call for help, to a friend who works in private security. That was the person who told me, in plain and practical terms, how to start locking everything down, and much of what my wife and I did over the next several days came from that first call. I left the store and went to my cousin's house. Neither of us had the first idea where to begin unwinding this, and we sat there together, two grown men, feeling helpless. It was no longer only about money, though the money went that night too. The person who held my account also held more than 100,000 family photographs, my notes, my data, every password saved in my Apple keychain, my entire iMessage history, and, worst of all, the ability to receive the text-message verification codes sent to my own number, the codes that guard everything else. In one app, the thief sold the investments I held there to raise cash, then reached my wife directly, sending her a payment request that looked to her like it came from me. She was careful and declined the first requests. A later one, appearing to be from me, drew thousands of dollars out of her before she understood that her own husband was not the one asking. Then they drained the rest. Overnight, from Los Angeles, my accounts bled out through a string of Walgreens drugstores, an Arco gas station, and a single charge of thousands of dollars at a Staples, the signature of a gift-card cash-out. Orders were delivered by a food-delivery app to a Los Angeles address I had never heard of. My PayPal was accessed. Two credit applications were filed in my name. When I tried to freeze one account in the middle of the night, I found its support line ran only on East Coast business hours. It was closed. The thief had the whole night, and used it. When the tally settled, several thousand dollars was gone, and only a small fraction has come back. I expected the theft to end when the money did. It did not. Three days later, on June 28, the intruder reached back into the account and erased my smartwatch, off my wrist, in real time. They were still there. And Apple, it turned out, could not simply give the account back. To prove that I was me, Apple's own recovery process required the very thing the thief controlled since they held the trusted number. Then the calls started, a wave of them from that same number ending in 67, a caller posing as an Apple supervisor and riding the spoofed line. After they take everything, they call you, and they sound exactly like the people you are most desperate to trust. And the fraud has not stopped. In the weeks since, the thief has kept opening cryptocurrency accounts in my name, one after another, using the identity he took to move money through channels that are hard to trace and harder to undo. The police, when I met them at my cousin's house, could do almost nothing but take a report. For guidance on the crime itself, I reached out to an old college classmate who is now an FBI agent. He confirmed that the number had been spoofed, walked me through what to document and whom to contact, and steadied me when I needed it.
