  @ZEE5India Hey incompetent fellows @ZEE5India Here is a bug for your team to fix I login with my number on your ios app. When I subscribe it takes me to Apple Store. Post that I don’t see the plan in zee5 And when I logout and login with Apple id, I find the subscription. Pathetic

  YES! Mac Mini at $599 is killing AI subscriptions Developers are massively ditching Claude Code, ChatGPT Pro, and Cursor — switching to local models running on Mac Mini M4. One Reddit post ("spent $170 in 10 days on Claude Code") triggered a wave: someone replied "bought a Mac Mini — haven't paid Anthropic since", and that same week the mini-computers disappeared from Apple Store shelves. Why it works:The M4 chip with unified memory (120 GB/s) runs large models more efficiently than a $1,500 Windows PC with a dedicated GPU. Since January 2026, Ollama supports the Anthropic API format — Claude Code connects to a local server with a single environment variable. Cost per request: $0. The math is simple:A heavy developer spends ~$459/month on AI subscriptions = $5,500+ per year. The Mac Mini pays for itself in under 3 months, after that — $3 a month in electricity. Marcus Chen took it furthest — he built a rack of 30 Mac Minis as his personal AI farm. Those who own the infrastructure today will have years of advantage tomorrow.

  Has the review speed of the Apple Store slowed down again? The submitted update has been pending for three days and still hasn't started the review.

  @AppleSupport It’s been more than a week since I visited Apple Store to get my iPhone 17 PM fixed. Which has issue with its charging port. I was told to drop the device at genius bar for the repair. Since then I am continuously taking update from the Apple team and crazy part is.. 1/2

  @vlmxs @SnazzyLabs Speeds are really down in a clumsy environment. Tried it in our local Apple Store and it came out weird that some pages took loading more than 10 seconds. Then ran Speedtest and the speeds capped at about 30 Mb/s, while the store had 1 Gb/s wireless (I was the only customer).

  @MarshaBlackburn @NCOSE It's rated 18+ in Apple store and 17+ in the Google store. Looks like the issue is a little further up the food chain.

  The biggest problem with Unicorn is that they keep fake apple devices. All the apple devices you buy from them will have a super fast decline in battery health. I got the same device from Apple Store delhi and unicorn and the unicorn one I had to sell off within 6 months

  Malko - my bedtime app blocker got rejected from apple store review. The turnaround time was quite fast! Last time I had to wait for 20 days for a rejection. Here are the reasons. 1. Incompatible with iPad - I have marked the app as iphone only. I'm not sure why they tested it on ipad. It may be easier to fix this than argue with them. 2. Paywall content - it does not clearly describe what the user will receive for the price. Seems an issue with messaging. Will rework and resubmit. Approval coming in any day now!

  @eko32eko7 @DrClownPhD @9mmsmg That's exactly what happened to me, there was an issue with my Apple ID and no amount of support tickets or going into an Apple store got it fixed. I finally got so frustrated that I switched to Android. At first I didn't like it but now I can't imagine going back.

  A developer walked out of an Apple Store carrying 7 Mac mini boxes. Security watched him. Other customers watched him. He sat down in the lounge, opened his laptop, and got to work before he even got home. Pause at [0:09]. Look at the meter plugged in on the left. 180 watts. That is the entire operation at full load. Your gaming PC idles higher than that. Five M4 Mac minis. Clustered into one machine with EXO. No cloud. No API subscription. No data leaving the room. Ever. A Llama 70B running local on MLX. It ingests a 90,000 word manuscript. Cleans the formatting. Splits the chapters. Marks every line of dialogue with the emotion it should be read in. Then a local voice model narrates the entire book in one locked voice that never gets tired and never raises its day rate. 40 hours of clean audiobook narration. Every month. While he sleeps. He sells the finished files to indie authors and faceless YouTube channels who cannot afford a studio and will not wait three weeks for one. $23 a month in electricity. $11,840 a month out. The 7 boxes on the floor are not a flex. They are the infrastructure. His girlfriend asked why he didn't just buy more. He already ordered them.

  @IM_Pritchard @InternetH0F Allowing you to fix your battery instead of being forced into buying a new one is a good thing actually because a lot of manufacturers like apple will brick your phone if you attempt to fix it outside of a Apple Store

  @JMakeley @ProhibitionUS You can't tell the difference between an Apple Store and a cartel? The PROBLEM is a poisoned supply, cut with fent and rat poison. People are dying not because of drugs but because of cross contamination. Notice how our booze supply isn't poisoned? Legal and regulated industries are not dressed-up cartels, friend. You don't want harm reduction, just control.

  @ramcharger22 My wife and were having security issues that might’ve involved her phone. Went to the Apple Store & they checked it out, no problem. Also told us that there is no real difference between a 13 - 17. If it’s working fine no need to change.

  Did he said free money? Under fractional banking, $20 million means the bank can lending $2 billion to people previously had been redlining. I hope they hire good underwriters, to prevent unsound deals. I sure there are biz are sound and needs money but their biz is too small or according to data, they live in redlining areas. Hope these loans are going towards good biz and good people. I heard app developers said Apple Store pays them after 45 days, so despite they made a lot of money, but as fast they grow the bigger negative cash flow they had encountered. To small biz owners, negative cash flow due to growth happened to every one of us, so this should be a good problem to solve for them, as they should be able to collateralize their account receivables, if the payers are top rating biz like Apple or Amazon.

  @BeSovereign_1 @0xEthan No. iOS is inherently a problem as it require someone to KYC themself to publish on Apple store. You could compile a version yourself and side load it in theory.
