  I think most nerds have been to the Apple Store and ordered every possible option for a Mac Pro or went to a server vendor and ordered a trillion servers.

  @Jupjami @ItoAyamiStan Yeah the commies are busy hunting down gays. That’s why you can find les story line in Where Winds Meet, millions of gay contents on Bilibili, and tons of gay apps in Chinese Apple Store. Can we try not to generalize things please?

  Your M4 Mac is broken. And no, the Apple Store won't fix it fast or cheap. We will.

  A man noticed his phone storage kept showing “full” after 18 months — even though he barely had any photos. He deleted apps. Cleared messages. Removed downloads. Still, every couple of weeks, the same warning returned: “Storage Almost Full.” He was ready to upgrade and buy a new iPhone. At the Apple Store, an employee stopped him for a second: “Before you spend $1,000 on a new phone, check this first.” She opened Settings → General → iPhone Storage and immediately spotted the problem. “There are 7 things quietly eating your storage. Most iPhones have them enabled by default — and almost nobody knows about them.” Then she walked him through everything in less than 10 minutes. 🧵

  purchasing a new (or newer) iPhone from the store. I have been a faithful user of Apple products since 2018 (I’ve owned a 8 Pro, an XR and the 12 PM I currently use). This is the first time that I’ve ever had an issue with someone in any Apple store. If the repair tech doesn’t

  @yourtechguyyy That’s sucks! Getting a jobs nowadays is harder now due to tariffs and economy crisis. I hope, you do get hired in a better job somewhere else I have a job and is employed. Working at a retail store but it is not a Tech store and me and my mom works there. But I’m trying soo hard to quit that job because of the work load and the conditions that make me wanna leave 😭 Right now, I’m thinking of either working at the Apple Store or Best Buy but sadly, English is not my first language and I struggle to speak English fluently so no way I would be able to communicate with a customer, even tho I know how to fix a problem when it comes to Technology stuff Wishing you best of luck with getting the best jobs and I hope, one day, you’ll be employed and earn some cash and buy your dream house and car, plus Apple products too 🥹

  This meme is supposed to be motivational… it’s actually bullshit. First of all it implies that 50% of people keep working at what they want to achieve. 1% is more like it. The other problem is that bro on the bottom gives up right before he succeeds. Thats optimistic too. Most people swing the axe one time and see it didn’t even break an inch off the wall and give up. People just do not want to do the volume that’s needed to succeed at anything. They think they want the result. They think they are willing to do the work. What they really want is the Instagram post. They want to appear to succeed. They want everything but doing what it takes. The reason I’m thinking about this today is that I just went through 236 revisions for the script of 1 video on a YouTube channel that hasn’t even launched yet. That’s after one channel took me 10 years to get to 100k subscribers. And despite all that boring tedious work swapping a single word for another… …I still don’t feel like it’s good enough and just had a thought on how I can make it better and am going to start over from zero. Most people give up when their first 30 second reel doesn’t make them Mr. Beast. Kobe Bryant used to take 800 to 1,000 made jumpshots a day in the offseason. Not taken. Made. He’d be in the gym at 4am doing the same boring movement thousands of times while the rest of the league slept. The 81 point games were built on ten thousand swings nobody saw. Steve Jobs scrapped the entire design of the first Apple Store when it was nearly finished, months of work, because he decided it was organized around products instead of around what people wanted to do. He started over. The redo became the most profitable retail on earth per square foot. Neither of them was a few inches from the diamonds getting lucky. They swung the axe an absurd number of times, hated a lot of the swings, and kept going anyway. So if you actually want to succeed at something, get ready to be bored. For a long time. Doing the same unglamorous reps long after it stopped being exciting and long before it started paying. Or, if you just want to look successful, take a photo of yourself, drop it into ChatGPT, and tell it to put you in front of a private jet. It’s gotten pretty good at that. Think Big

  @TimSweeneyEpic You have no ******* room to speak on this. You had fortnite on the Apple store and coerced your players into paying you directly so you can avoid giving Apple a cut. Then had a whole animation rendered and ready before hand when you got in trouble with Apple. Shut. The. ****. Up

  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.

  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

  @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

  12. The "Location-Based Alerts & Apple Ads" The Situation: You assume that seeing targeted ads is just the unavoidable cost of using the internet, and that occasional alerts from your phone are harmless and normal. The System Reality: Apple positions itself as a privacy-first company, but they still have a massive advertising business. Your phone is actively tracking your location, crossing digital geofences, and analyzing your proximity to retail locations to serve you geographically relevant Apple Store ads and location-based suggestions. The Technical Drain: Geofencing is expensive for a battery. The phone has to constantly calculate its distance from invisible barriers to know when to trigger an alert. It’s using your battery power to figure out how to market products to you more effectively. The Fix: Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → System Services → Toggle off "Location-Based Alerts", "Location-Based Suggestions", and "Apple Merchant ID". The Result: You completely sever the connection between your GPS hardware and Apple's internal marketing algorithms. You stop burning battery to get advertised to.

  Nordics in South Park Mall Charlotte NC, or seven foot tall Swedish Star Wars cosplayers? I did my best to use AI to help me recall what they looked like. My family and I were walking to the Apple Store. I have no memory of reaching the Apple Store. My last memory was “They look like those tall Nordic beings I’ve seen before. She is so hot! Oh wait, they are telepathic and the men are very jealous.” That night I had a dream of them and they invited me to board a saucer shaped craft on the edge of a cliff. But I declined and they were surprised. The next day at work I came down with a rash on my hands and feet . By Wednesday that week I had to take off work and my doctor put me on three types of antihistamines to get the swelling to come down.

  @ravikiran_dev7 Buy $20 Claude Code subscription and start building small apps that help users to fix specific problems, create a landing page, add that Apps to download (if you can invest, publish on play store and apple store). So under $100 you can build 30 apps. So worth trying it.
