  @Sweetly_Shar @DemzDeliver Incorrect. When in poverty, you don't go to an Apple store and start stealing ****. You go for food. I've been homeless for 3 years in my life, homeless. I never stole, never needed to and neither does a single other person in this country. Every single one of them can very easily get help when and if needed. Doing otherwise is a CHOICE, a terrible one too. No, they steal and break into places to steal the most expensive **** they can so they can sell it online for drug money, clothes to make themselves look rich, or to buy things they don't NEED because they feel it's owed to them. There's a sickness with those cultures and it stems in self entitlement. Also affordability...in NYC? LMAO hahahahaha oh that has been in the gutter since that man took power, even before him it was bad, but it's worse now. Also you don't know the term Bum. I work for everything I get...as a ******* MUTE. I put in all the work myself and work hard, unlike thieves and ****** people who think everything should be given to them.

  @devops_nk I had the same issue on my mbp m4. The official Apple Store diagnosed it as a motherboard failure. My warranty had expired, so it costed me 68k to repair. Since yours is still under warranty, I’d recommend taking it to Apple instead of trying temporary fixes.

  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.

  Detroit believed a viable electric car was impossible. Elon Musk believed Tesla had to prove the industry wrong. This clip is from 2007, when Tesla was still imagining service centers that felt closer to an Apple Store than a traditional dealership. The larger goal was not simply to sell Roadsters. Musk wanted Tesla to become evidence. The technology could work. People would buy it. Electric cars could be desirable instead of feeling like a compromise. He also explains why selling Tesla to an established automaker would have slowed the mission down. Incumbents usually ask whether a strange new product fits the existing business. Startups can ask whether the existing business deserves to survive.

  Business as usual Many people wrote today about Telegram being removed from the App Store, which sparked a mild panic, and even the Gram token reacted by falling to $1.29 on some exchanges. But there's really no reason to panic. Here's why: - Telegram was already removed in 2018: Apple also removed the official client and Telegram X due to user content issues. - WhatsApp, Discord, and TikTok have all faced similar "bans" due to content issues at various times. Twitter was on the verge of being banned several times. When removed from the Apple Store, smartphones with the app already installed continued to function normally, and access to the app was not affected. As Apple representatives and the messenger itself later officially confirmed, the brief removal was caused by just one user who was distributing strictly prohibited content on the platform that violated App Store rules. Due to automated algorithms or a harsh initial complaint, apps used by a billion people are at risk of being blocked on the iOS platform. This is more positive for Telegram users, and here's why: -Prompt removal: Telegram moderators immediately identified the offender, blocked their account, and completely purged the destructive content. -Direct dialogue with Apple: The developers immediately reported to App Store censors, confirming the vulnerability had been fixed. -Irony instead of panic: The entire process took about an hour and a half. Immediately after returning to the store, Telegram's official account on social media X responded to the incident with the legendary Mark Twain quote: "Rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated," along with an apple emoji. The Gram token itself quickly returned to the point at which the incident occurred. This was an excellent opportunity to go long on Gram or buy a lot of promising memecoins, which provided good entry points. You have to look for the positive in everything.

  My app got rejected for a missing Terms of Use link in description.That's the Apple store Review experience. A static field. Checkable in seconds — at submission time.The automated check fired the NEXT DAY instead. Back of the queue. A weekend lost to a 10-minute fix. The tooling exists. It just runs a day late.

  🚨 #BREAKING : The @telegram app has just been removed from the @Apple store. It had been removed because it had made "inappropriate content" available to users, founder Pavel Durov said. The removal came soon after Telegram launched an unfinished version of its "experimental" Telegram X app. Apple took down both the official messaging app and the one still being worked on.

  If you're unsure where to buy your smartphone 🥉Skip it Cell phone shops (Docomo, au shops, etc.) ・Charged a down payment of 10,000–20,000 yen ・Pushed into unnecessary options ・Zero comparison with other carriers 🥈Safe bet Official stores (Apple Store, etc.) ・Lowest price for the device itself ・No sales pitches ・Device upgrades are a good deal too 🥇My real recommendation is ↓

  A woman worked as an Apple Store employee for 6 years first as a Specialist on the sales floor, then as a Genius at the Genius Bar, then as a Creative leading workshops. She's helped over 20,000 customers. She said the same pattern played out every single day: a customer would walk in, buy a product, and leave. Or they'd come in with a problem, get it fixed, and leave. That was the entire interaction. In and out. "The Apple Store has free workshops that teach you photography, video editing, music production, and coding taught by trained professionals on the equipment you already own. It has a Genius Bar that runs free diagnostics, replaces batteries same-day, and fixes screens in an hour. It has a trade-in program that gives you instant credit toward a new device for phones, tablets, laptops, and watches in any condition, even broken ones. It has education pricing that saves students hundreds of dollars. It has a small business team that most business owners have never heard of. It has personal shopping appointments where a specialist builds your entire setup with you. And it has a Self Service Repair program that ships you the exact same tools Apple's own technicians use. Most customers walk in, buy AirPods, and walk out. They're treating a technology learning center like a vending machine." She said Apple Stores are the highest-revenue retail spaces per square foot in the world not because they sell expensive products, but because most customers never discover the 9 services that would make them come back every month. Here are the 9 things she wishes every Apple customer knew:

  I got just about every single new iPhone release since 1.0. I even stood in line 5+ hours a couple of times at the flagship Palo Alto store. Missed the sporadic Steve appearances, though. RIP. One time, I stood there all day for the release of iPhone 4. That's the one where it was glass, front and back. That very night, we were walking back from a restaurant, and I fumbled and dropped it. Shattered. Next day, I go to a different Apple Store, one nearby. They asked me, "how long did you stand in line?" 6 hours, I say. They took extreme pity on me and replaced it with a new one. No charge. Other times, they have done similarly, like when a battery crapped out, and they exchanged it with a refurb. Another time, I jumped in the pool with my X (10.0) and it crapped out from water. Replaced for free. Apple has been exceedingly good to me as a great company. My MacBooks last 8+ years, never a single problem. I replace them simply because it's "time." iPhone 10 (X) was the last one I purchased. See, since about #7, the camera was already better than I could hope for. Met all my needs, and it was a huge step forward in low-light photography. Then with every new release, it seemed to focus (har har) on the camera. Like a huge percentage of the release shindig was about the camera. No other huge developments. By this time, 95% of owners are only going to use the excellent point-and-shoot capabilities. So, in 2020, a few months after moving to Thailand, I asked myself, why am I carrying around a $1,300 phone when I can get everything I need for about $350 (10,000 baht)? So I did. Got a Samsung first, two replacements for the same price point since then, different brands. My latest is a Vivo. I'm sure the 4x more expensive iPhone does better photos, if i were to bother to geek out on that. But I'm fine. And if i break my phone, lose it, or it gets stolen, it's not a panic event. Oh, well, time for a new one.

  // Just a heads up to my close moots, I have tech issues with my phone again so I will be away from answering on my phone at least for a while, since I will be using a loaner and sending in my phone to get fixed by my local apple store. I had issues with it earlier this year

  Still struggling. I need to create releases for 3 apps on the Apple Store, fix releases on Google Play, fix the web hook for RankGoat to create posts for my business, integrate the eBay API for inventory management in CAUN, test CoinTrade, finish the TubeBinder MVP, and make 1.5B. When will I get it done if I do nothing?

  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

  MARCUS CHEN STACKED 30 MAC MINIS AND BUILT AN AI SERVER FARM. A SINGLE $599 MAC MINI CAN REPLACE YOUR $200/MONTH CLAUDE CODE ACCOUNT, COSTING JUST $3 IN ENERGY. Two months ago, a developer posted his Claude Code bill on Reddit: $170 in just 10 days. Someone replied: “I bought a Mac Mini M4. I haven’t paid Anthropic anything since then.” That same week, Mac Minis vanished from Apple Store shelves. The M4 chip delivers 120 GB/s of memory bandwidth and a unified memory architecture. The CPU and GPU share the same memory pool, so the model loads just once and both access the same data. In practice, a $599 Mac Mini can run AI better than many $1,500 Windows PCs equipped with dedicated GPUs. Since January 2026, Ollama has started supporting Anthropic’s Messages API format. With just one environment variable, Claude Code connects directly to your local Mac Mini. The same interface. Zero API cost. $0 per request. A developer who uses AI intensively can spend $459 a month across Claude Code Max, ChatGPT Pro, Gemini, Cursor, and Copilot. That adds up to $5,508 a year. The Mac Mini investment pays for itself in about three months. After that, the operating cost is around $3 in electricity. Uber rolled out Claude Code to 5,000 engineers and would have burned through a significant chunk of its $3.4 billion AI budget for 2026 in just four months. Whoever controls the infrastructure today could be years ahead of everyone else tomorrow.

  A little different from what I usually do👨🏾‍💻 After deploying the apps to both the Play Store and Apple Store, and while waiting for the frontend production team to catch up with me, I decided to spend some time on the other side of development. Currently testing the web application, going through reported bugs, validating fixes, reporting new issues, creating and assigning Jira tickets to engineers, and following up to make sure everything gets resolved properly. Not just building anymore… making sure what we build actually works. 🦅
