  @maye23musk32 @Elonmarsmusk12 My phone is not working well, I have made a list to follow-it is all Apple controlled things. Hopefully tomorrow. The Genius Bar at the Apple store was no help. I can’t transfer it to a new phone until I get it solved or I will simply have a new phone that only half works.

  @Somniss Quality Indie games are the future. It's just super easy to make a prototype. Steam has to find a solution to this problem. Their market will turn into google play apple store at some point.

  Most customer service conversations were never actually about the problem. A surprising number happen for one reason. People are lonely. We have all felt the edge of this. A stretch of days without real connection… And suddenly the cashier, the barista, the receptionist, the person on the help line… Feel strangely important. In 2020, a grocery run became the highlight of the week. A few words with a stranger landed like a feast. We were not shopping. We were starving for contact. Now carry that same hunger into ordinary life. The answer is on Google. The fix takes thirty seconds. The issue is small enough to solve alone. And still… We call. We wait on hold. We drive there in person. Because the problem was never really the problem. The contact was. I saw this clearly standing in an Apple store one afternoon. A man frustrated that his seven-year-old phone was not as loud as it used to be. Around him… A dozen more carrying problems just as small. Tiny inconveniences held up like emergencies. Each one quietly purchasing a few minutes near another human being. Those were not technology problems. They were connection problems. People reaching for human contact… Using the only doorway that felt socially acceptable. A broken phone gives us permission to be cared for. Loneliness does not. And this is what happens when a need goes unmet for too long. It starts disguising itself. Not manipulation. Not selfishness. Just an unmet human need… Looking for the nearest warm signal the only way it knows how. And it usually lands on whoever is paid to stay patient. Service workers absorb this all day. Hours of other people's quiet loneliness… Arriving disguised as complaints they cannot actually solve. Because the real ache was never on the work order. Which means much of what we call customer service… Is not actually a customer service problem. It is loneliness… Quietly rerouted through the one interaction people could justify having. So the real fix was never better support. Or shorter wait times. Or more efficient systems. It is connection… That does not have to be manufactured. Because when people feel genuinely seen in everyday life… A thousand invented problems quietly disappear. Along with the weight they place on everyone paid to carry them.

  Yeah, it could, but it won't. People steal things that are locked down all the time. I mean, even the Apple Store display models get stolen all the time, and those have a special version of iOS that runs on them, so you can't do anything with them anyway; they're paperweights. My concern is the ability for Apple, or any tech company for that matter, to be able to remotely disable a device, whether you are a criminal or not.

  @seckincreatives @aandreug @framer But why's that a problem, see the Apple Store for instance - it's the absolutely same system, there are millions of apps, most of them are buried and nobody cares for them, let the market decide what works and why. We're in 2026 and marketing and product go hand in hand, there's no way around that, the old way was outdated, so they changed it, my templates are buried as well, but that's no reason to cry just work harder and adapt to what's new.

  @JonOrcera I’d recommend taking it to an Apple Store. Remote support usually isn’t very helpful with this kind of issue. This comes up fairly often on Reddit. Mine had wear on both the battery side and the Vision Pro connector, and Apple ended up replacing the cable. Now I’m just waiting for my next trip so I can use AppleCare for the front glass crack on my Vision Pro, even though it’s never been dropped. 🥹

  A Mac Studio sitting on your desk now runs AI models that cost OpenAI $700,000 a day to serve. And it does it for free. No API bills. No rate limits. No data leaving your machine. No subscription. Here's what's actually possible in 2026. A Mac Studio with 64GB unified memory runs Llama 4 Maverick — a 70B parameter model — at usable speeds. The same class of model that required a server rack two years ago now fits on a $1,999 desktop. A Mac Studio Ultra with 192GB runs 100B+ models locally. We're talking frontier-level reasoning on hardware you can buy at an Apple Store. And the 512GB Mac Studio Ultra? It runs DeepSeek V4 Pro. 1.6 trillion parameters. Locally. On your desk. The reason this works is unified memory. Apple Silicon doesn't split RAM between CPU and GPU. All of it goes to the model. A 64GB Mac has 64GB for inference — which is more effective than an Nvidia GPU with 24GB of dedicated VRAM for this specific workload. The tool stack is simple. Ollama for running models via terminal. LM Studio if you want a GUI that looks like ChatGPT. Both free. Both work in 10 minutes. Six months ago local AI was a hobbyist experiment. Today it's a legitimate alternative to cloud APIs for anyone who values privacy, cost, or offline access. The data center is shrinking. It just fit on your desk.

  @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.

  A week after getting my 17 I went into AT&T with this issue and he said “Yeah it’s happening a lot. We’re not sure what to do. You can try going to Apple” and then the Apple Store near me requires an appointment and it said it could be up to $80 to see someone so I said nvm🙃

  Reclaiming Your Device The man walked out of the Apple Store that afternoon with his original battery still inside his phone and his eighty nine dollars still safely tucked into his pocket. A week later, he sent the Genius Bar worker a short message. He was finishing his entire work day with forty percent of his battery still remaining. He had not touched the Low Power Mode button a single time. We have somehow accepted a strange reality where we think our expensive modern devices just naturally degrade in a few short months. But the truth is much simpler than that. Tech companies design these phones to constantly harvest data, build their corporate networks, and serve their massive ecosystems silently in the background. They are actively using your hardware and your battery life to do their heavy lifting. Stop letting your own phone work against you. Take fifteen minutes tonight, sit down on the couch, and go through this list. You bought the phone to serve you, so make absolutely sure it actually does.

  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.
