  @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?

  @keepindeepspace 2024 & 2025 VIP as well and I'll be sending a similar message tomorrow. I've already begun the refund process through Google Play Store and they said they're collecting data on developer issues like this, so I encourage you to reach out to them (or Apple Store) as well.

  @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 We're in 2026 and marketing and product go hand in hand, there's no way around that, the old way was outdated, so they changed it, my templates are buried as well, but that's no reason to cry just work harder and adapt to what's new.

  @pcgamer Ill buy a @Apple Mac Computer it lasts long, @Dell sucks every company i’ve worked for or owned last 2 years and start having problems and become unreliable. Apple i can take it to a Apple store sometimes a same day or next day its fixed, Dell you have to ship that back i’m the mail for weeks, and it still has problems even after Dell says it’s been fixed. 🚮

  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.

  @techbharat apple does not cover these issues. my relative’s iPhone 14 had green line, i took it to apple store Mumbai bkc and they told it would cost around 22k display replacement no free repair. better sell it or exchange with new one. we got 23k exchange offer with iPhone 17 via flipkart

• 
  Trajen (@trajen) reported 29 minutes ago

  @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 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

  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.

  I was chatting with an elderly friend recently. She said her husband locked his iPhone in error. They went to the Apple store. They couldn’t unlock it. Rather than wipe it, start over, they insisted on selling him a new phone. @Apple

  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.

  @LoNe_eXiLe @Damion69122310 If your issue is being locked in to only 1 store then why are people not complaining about mobile gaming and being locked in to either the Apple Store or Google Play only? No one complains about that.

  Just got an official Apple Store Keyboard with the fingerprint reader. The thing with Macbooks is that the moment you lose AppleCare for them and the keyboard breaks, there is ZERO way to fix said keyboard. (Hidden secret of Macbook keyboard explaining why in comments) So when at home use your peripherals you extend the life of your on-laptop keyboard when you obviously have to use it when traveling.

  Star Trek writer Peter David on why he hated Star Trek: Discovery: "I have no idea what any of it looks like. Every single scene was apparently filmed in a power outage. The sets are dark, the costumes are dark, everything is so dámņëd dark. I mean, yes, people said that the new Enterprise in the Abrams film looked like an Apple store, but at least you could see it. I can’t see crap in ST:D. " Is this a common problem with modern tv shows?

  @Clintwestwood97 @mrpyo1 That’s not a Sony problem necessarily. It’s how things have evolved (e.g. some games are no longer available on the Apple Store). There may be a happy middle solution. I have 100s of physical games. And I’m kind of over it. Too much space. Im a little relieved to be honest.

  @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 :(
