  @IrrelevantNerd @beautyskillz Digital movies are very different so no, it's not the same. This is long but it'll help people understand. There's two different versions of digital movies you can buy/get. There's the ones you get from Fandango At Home, Movies Anywhere, Microsoft Store, formerly the PlayStation Store, Apple Store, Google Play Store, etc. These are the ones you have a limited license to VIEW on those platforms only. When you read the EULA for those you'll see it tells you that you own nothing. You just have a license to view it on that platform. Meaning, if that platform goes away? You'll lose access and they have no real obligation to refund you or move platforms for you. That's what you agree to every time they do that. Movie licenses are subject to renewal, gaming licenses are one and done. Renewing the license every few years is what those third party companies do on your behalf. If they can't get it done they lose access which, in turn, means you lose access. The other version of digital movies? You DO own it. Fully. I'll explain it. These digital movies are movies you get directly from the studios that distributed it. Meaning, you bought the DVD or Blu-Ray and the digital code it came with, you used it. You got a code directly from their website store. Or, you got gifted a code or won a code from them or a third party that got the codes from them directly. With that? Once you redeem that code, that movie is yours to keep on one of those platforms I mentioned earlier. Forever. If a platform you bought a code and put your paid movie on goes out of business? They have an obligation to either find you another locker (they use this term for the other digital platforms they house the movies) to store the movie on, or they HAVE to let you download the movies to your personal storage. All of this is in their EULAs. I hope you read it all to get a better understating of the difference between movies and games EULA. A game is never going to get taken from you unless you do one of two things. You break TOS, or you call them and tell them you don't want the license any longer. Also in their EULA. Even if they no longer exist as a company you still own your games digitally. They'll leave you to download them or leave them attached to your username on your consoles. They will not shut down the usernames just because they don't exist as a company. They will keep the agreement in place. That's just how it works. Again, I know this is a long read, but it's very informative.

  @ValerieAnne1970 Yep. My iPhone 11 suddenly started having issues typing messages. Never damaged or wet. Just one day, started acting up. I took it into an Apple Store and was told that it would cost more to ‘fix’ it than to get a new one and they wouldn’t guarantee they could even fix it.

  @tminnzy @ijustine @Apple see what I’m saying. You making him CEO like I wasn’t in the Apple Store looking up the material to make a better battery. Now you all made a big mistake. Don’t worry fuel to the flame inside me. I will make my battery and take out the problem child and put mine in.

  Bishal Nandi (@LearnWithBishal) reported 27 minutes ago

  WHAT THESE DIAGNOSTICS CAN TELL YOU Before you spend money on a repair, you can find out: • If your battery is genuinely worn out, or still healthy • If touch-screen issues are hardware-related and not just a software glitch • If your microphone, speakers, or sensors are starting to fail • If poor signal is caused by your iPhone or your carrier's network • If key parts have been replaced or the device was previously opened The difference? You walk into the Apple Store knowing what's wrong instead of guessing. Knowledge is expensive only when you don't have it.

  Because Phone Broke and I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself on Google Laptop without @Apple @Walmart phone working, I was in N. Carolina driving north on i-95 alone, figuring out troubleshooting THAT my phone was broken and HOW it was BROKEN, but not BEFORE @Apple locked me out for perpetuity to not ever prove I was human until I entered an APPLE STORE for 3 hours of GREAT customer service in Bridgewater, New Jersey I could NOT call DOCTORS (chronic pain patient, stage 2b breast cancer survivor living with peripheral neuropathy, post-mastectomy pain syndrome, osteopenia, arthritic pain, IBS, to name a few...), I could NO ACCESS access PHARMACY (during mudbutt, as cancer survivor, finding Tick after walk w dogs next to Motel6 gross!), I could NO make a RESERVATION for a hotel down the road, I couldn't contact FAMILY for 48+ hours (until I literally drove up to their house troubleshooting New Jersey JUGHANDLES from suppressed memories?!?) I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself for small biz account for while I don't have a backup manager... I had no GPS, but I happen to be smart enough to travel half way across the country without picking up a map or a phone. ONE Lucky strike.

  For Real Apple really needs to level up there Apple Store Connect platform. Everyday something is broken. I have been trying to get into the Integration page for a day now, it just shows that there is a error and the whole page reloads.

  I wonder how best to share my experience I fear if I did it real time for content It would be hours and hours and hours of me accomplishing minuscule things. Maybe I need time lapse videography for this. I would attach the photo that tells you how Apple won't let me rotate the settings screen or the Apple Store screen, but there's a really easy way that I could manage the selections of the menu in the top half of the screen using the accessibility voiceover feature and that just gives me like 10 steps to follow SMH, I am pretty sure I will try and do it through the laptop and sign in through the cloud and then go to subscriptions because it sounds easier than the 10 steps that I wish I could attach in a photo but then I can't hit the button to finish the attachment because you have the top half of the phone touchscreen won't work and.... I need to check how many days Walmart is giving me before I have to return this device because I just wanna make sure I could do everything in the cloud that needs to be done or that I do everything on the device that I'm supposed to before I send it backs.... I am completely accepting advice from everyone and anyone who has 100% dissociated from Apple, not just switched providers but made sure that they did not leave any data in the cloud behind

  @Apple @AppStore @AppleSupport I don't think it's professional that waiting 3 days to get a response on Apple Store Connect support. This's doesn't fit Apple so far! The iOS app has been in review for almost a week and I'm keep messaging back and forth about changes has been done and still getting some issues from no where. The team reaches out ever 3 days!!! So I need someone from Apple Store Management to get this through.

  @theficouple I switched to EVs years ago. Would never go back to a barbaric gas car. Slow. Lots of maintenance. You have to go to a gas station and touch a greasy pump. Gross. Imagine how annoying it would be if you had to drive to an Apple Store every time you wanted to charge your iPhone.😬

  You'll make WAY more money if you stop trusting something because it makes sense IN THEORY Getting plenty of comments sounds great IN THEORY, but 99% of them are almost always tirekickers and don't indicate potential buyers Selling at top of funnel after using spray and pray content sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize top of funnel content is outside a funnel so its guaranteed to attract mainly people who would never pay you Shipping new product updates publicly sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize other people with more experience can now clone your offer in 1 hour and market it better (you are also just procrastinating instead of making money) Giving up after 20 DM/Cold Emails sounds great IN THEORY, until you learn statistically you will make no money unless you send 650-1000 Doing lifestyle marketing with Ferrari's and Penthouses and Private Jets sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize that just makes you look like a moron Making your entire goal retiring your parents sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize not everyone has poor third world country parents Hiring early sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you have no idea how to write an SOP, and nobody will ever be as good as you at your job in the early stages Depending the Apple Store to make software sales sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you are now dependent on a system that can remove you whenever they want for whatever reason (and you still have zero idea how to drive traffic yourself, make sales yourself, or build a customer acquisition system yourself) Earning all your income from YouTube views sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize there's a 21 year old selling ebooks on Instagram borrowing traffic who's lapping you in profit every month (and unlike you if he loses a YouTube channel he doesn't lose all his income) Building a landing page using a framer template/lovable sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you maximized aesthetics and destroyed your conversion rate (because you have zero idea how to write actual copy and now your site looks like a clone of every other landing page) Spending $200k on a ******* dance theory degree sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you just blew $200k you could have spent 5% of that on a mentor and hit $30k/mo in just 1 year Posting "Insane Value" on the timeline sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you are sophisticating the market and years from now you're going to see all the sh#t you charged thousands of dollars for are now common sense and available everywhere for free Reading 100 Books every year sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize most of the OG books teach the same fundamentals, and you could easily have absorbed all their most important lessons using Notebooklm over night instead of spending 365 days reading platitude drivel and irrelevant personal stories they put in between the actual value inside the book Being afraid to pay for high quality help sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize the broke guy who saved up the $600-$5k and invested in a good mentor is now making $30k/mo, and you're still under $2k/mo despite starting at the same time Posting mainly platitude drivel every single day to drive impressions toward your middle of funnel sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize everyone now thinks you're ret#rded because you don't seem to have an original thought about anything whatsoever (stop trying to be Kieran Drew, Dan Koe, or Justin Welsh) Not following your mentor's instructions sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize the only reason you're doubting yourself is because you don't have his/her experience, and because they already went through that self doubt and figured it out anyway, you not listening to them is the only reason you are not making money We solve every single one of these problems and bottlenecks in DPU btw (no audience required) Godspeed, Ian

  There were two reasons I did this: 1. MOST IMPORTANT was an audit of the screens without being distracted. I wanted to just sit and stare at each one then write down my thoughts on how to make them better. Then pass that back to Claude Code easily. 2. Easy access to Apple Store/web assets.

  @farmersbnkgroup is going through an internet banking upgrade. These are tough and impactful. I’ve done two in my prior days as a bank CIO. This one is a challenge. 👉 social media refers to a guide to download to prepare. But provides no link, and their website search provide provides no guide. 👉 their new mobile app cannot be found on the Apple Store 👉 their website, banner noting people need to click on their new link in order to re-enroll, doesn’t change the user experience on the webpage and users are unaware that they have to scroll all the way down to the bottom in order to find the new app 👉 the customer support line is a hybrid of AI and people. This is extremely frustrating for folks who need to navigate through the new experience and are simply looking for help. A computer program that simply responds OK and doesn’t provide any information and awaits the next prompt, is a customer service failure. 👉 this morning, as my wife tried for 40 minutes to get into her Internet banking, and ultimately ended up, waiting on hold for somebody to answer her, we explained these problems to the person who eventually did speak to us, and they threatened to hang up the phone when we passed on these concerns. They treated us like a child that she was not aware that she needed to scroll to the bottom. “I’m sorry the instructions didn’t say scroll, but it’s there isn’t it and you found it.” Ouch. 👉 it is amazing how one moment to pour customer service can outdo all of the hard work and effort that people behind the scenes put in to making some of these technical transitions go smoothly.

  2. Choose the right court and jurisdiction. • Small claims court: Often the most practical for modest consumer claims (defective product, denied refund, billing dispute). Limits typically range from about $2,500–$25,000 depending on the state (e.g., around $12,500 for individuals in California). Procedures are simplified, fees are low, and lawyers are often not allowed or needed. You may be able to file in your local small claims court if Apple has sufficient contacts there, though Apple may challenge venue based on its terms. fairshake. com • State superior/civil court: For larger amounts or more complex claims. • Federal court: Available for federal-question cases (e.g., certain intellectual property, antitrust, or securities claims) or diversity jurisdiction (parties from different states and amount in controversy over $75,000). Apple is a California corporation with its principal place of business in Cupertino, California. • Venue/forum clauses and personal jurisdiction rules apply. Apple sells products nationwide, supporting specific jurisdiction in many places for related claims, but contractual clauses often point to Santa Clara County, California. 3. Prepare and file the complaint (or petition). This formal document names the parties (Apple Inc. as defendant), states the facts, legal basis for the claims, and the relief sought. Use the specific court’s required forms/format. Pay the filing fee (can range from under $100 in small claims to several hundred dollars in higher courts). File with the court clerk (in person, by mail, or electronically where allowed). 4. Serve the lawsuit properly (“service of process”). This officially notifies the defendant and is critical—defective service can get the case dismissed. For Apple Inc. (a California corporation), the reliable method is service on its registered agent: • CT Corporation System, 330 N. Brand Blvd, Suite 700, Glendale, CA 91203. • Use a professional process server (or sheriff in some places). Do not rely on delivering papers to an Apple Store or Apple Park—these are generally not valid for the corporation. Obtain a proof-of-service affidavit to file with the court. undisputedlegal. com 5. Proceed through the litigation. Apple will typically respond (answer, motion to dismiss, etc.) within a set time (often 20–30 days). Then comes discovery, possible motions, settlement talks, and potentially trial. Apple has substantial legal resources and often vigorously defends cases. Practical Realities and Costs • Filing fees, service costs, and (if applicable) attorney fees add up. In higher courts you may face significant expenses; contingency-fee arrangements are sometimes available for certain claims. • Even in small claims, success is not guaranteed—Apple has defended (and sometimes settled or lost) product/warranty cases there. • Class actions exist for broader issues; individuals usually cannot start one alone without counsel. • Outcomes depend heavily on the strength of evidence and law. Many cases settle; few go fully to trial against a company of this size. Again, speak with a lawyer (consumer protection, product liability, or civil litigation specialist) who can review your specific situation, any contracts, evidence, and local rules. Legal aid societies, bar association referral services, or law school clinics may offer low- or no-cost initial consultations in some areas. Acting without proper guidance risks wasting time and money or harming your position.

  @Svntvmvriv Fix the bugs on the app in the Apple Store. It messes up every time you switch between watching streamers or if you click out of the app you lose the emotes and have to close and reopen it.
