  What I learned from the book "Apple in China" is that communism means gunning down people in the brand new Apple Store who are being unruly and anti-social, so who can say if it is all that bad.

  @BradTechh My tablet. However apples made the same mistake of all the other digital companies 2010. older instructional material that was degraded to the level of the Gutenberg Bible as compared to the user-friendly era, the leaders of which was Steve Jobs. Following that engineering and programmers produce most of the educational material it’s got awful. It’s composed of thousands of variables that are programmer constructed and link nill sure even the associated English words. Just just write down the steps for something as simple as user face identification it’s buried five pages under God knows words that have to be learned as a foreign language and still none of them are intuitively connected the number one big thing that could really swing Apple around would be an elegant review and complete revision of their instructional material for their wonderful machines that are so complex that they should bend over backwards to make their instructions, palatable or intuitive. You’ll notice that most of the major medical schools and nearly all of the engineering and advanced school Prestigious aggressively is auditory, visual, interactive, curriculum components, extensively. Apple’s approach breaks the number one rule “ The medium is the message”. Just go to Apple Store and watch who’s who’s really teaching neophytes. You’ll see clusters of friends doing just that kind of teaching, but notice that the books and the instructional material and the online stuff is avoided. One small group of special education specialist could convert it to easily absorbable. I bet that would increase our market share 25%.

  @Ro_Exotic @SmallEyez @markgurman I’ve only used the Apple care with the IUP once, and the Apple Store tried dicking me around by saying damage wasn’t covered. Demanded ~$400 to fix. I raised hell until they realized policy literally says $99 deductible.

  @SoldierSats Google play is being worked on, and Apple store is... Well, a tricky one. The kink is, these stores require devs to run there code so they take a 30% cut of all trxns. My apologies for the download issue. Most phone, have a setting to allow third party/non store downloads. Its quite possible this setting is not enabled.

  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.

  Sam Altman taught 720 startups one formula where luck is a random number between 0 and 10,000. Stanford, 2014. The opening lecture of CS183B was so packed he asked for a bigger auditorium. He was 28, a dropout from this same school 9 years earlier, now running Y Combinator. The formula he wrote on the board: idea × product × team × execution × luck and you only control 4 of the 5, because the fifth one goes to 10,000. His words, not a metaphor. Then he did something strange: he handed half of his own lecture to Dustin Moskovitz, co-founder of Facebook, whose entire job was to talk students out of starting companies. Dustin showed one table. Employee 100 at Dropbox with standard 10 basis points made $10 million, employee 250 at Facebook made $200 million, and employee 1,000 joining in 2009, when everyone said it was too late still made $20 million. Your own startup? Best case you build a $100 million company and keep 10% after dilution. $10 million, same as employee 1,000, minus your health. Dustin knew the price because he paid it: at 21 he was throwing his back out every 6 months from pure anxiety, always on call, unable to quit a founder who leaves wears the black eye for a decade. Then Altman twisted the lecture back with advice that cut against everything in the room. The best ideas look terrible at the start: the 13th search engine, the 10th social network limited to college kids, sleeping on strangers' couches. If an idea sounds good, too many people are already building it. Make something 100 people love instead of something 10,000 people like. Ben Silbermann recruited Pinterest's first users by walking up to strangers in Palo Alto coffee shops, then resetting every browser in the Apple Store to Pinterest's homepage until they threw him out. And the only valid reason to start is that you can't not do it. Dustin built Asana at night, after full days at Facebook, unpaid and unasked. "The idea was beating itself out of our chest." The rest is a number between 0 and 10,000.

  I make ios apps and I don't have an IPhone Neither mac. This is how I do it: - made the app over @expo with claude code - set up my github actions (ci cd) to create android (adb) and ios builds (ipa) - they go directly to the internal testing track for android dev console and testfight in apple store connect - I rent a @MacinCloud for $30 to run ios emulator and make sure the app works for emulator - invited 2 friends to testflight - they report me bugs and I fix it I am stubborn enough not to buy an iPhone but spend money on ads. What are your app building challenges? #buildinpublic #mobileapps #testflight

  @MAGA_X_Times @udreams30 Yep. THAT’S the scam I expected from these ‘gift cards’. No accountability. No recourse. Just a chorus of “not our responsibility” and the theft of your cash. The scam is that thieves take many cards from the store’s rack to their ‘shop’… and carefully open them to steal the alphanumeric code inside. Then, they carefully put the ‘package’ back together, replace them on the store’s display rack and, wait for someone to load money on the card. Then they immediately load that balance into THEIR ‘account’ using the stolen code. Started with Apple Store cards then spread to all of them. There is NO SECURITY on these things. Whoever uses the code first… gets the cash. Merchants couldn’t care less. They get the money no matter what. So, there is ZERO motivation for them to fix the problem as addressing it would necessarily require them to ADMIT there IS a problem. So… the whole gift card thing is a scam from every angle. Unless you can purchase the card DIRECTLY at the actual merchant and verify the balance before leaving the store, your ‘gift’ will likely disappear before the recipient can use it. Even with these precautions, the cards cannot be left where just anyone can access them. They should be dispensed by a managerial type. It’s the only way.

  @DummyCapital I take the other side of each of these. Android supply chain is falling apart, eastern players are pulling out of some local markets, carrier sellthrough was poor because mix skewed heavily to Apple Store which team talked about in conjunction with Mac demand… so carrier issue
