  Swap 2: The $50 Apple Store screen protector installation replaced with an $8 Amazon 3-pack. He'd walked into the Apple Store 3 times across 3 iPhones and paid for their screen protector installation. $50 each time. An employee cleaned the screen, applied the protector using an alignment tool, and pressed out the bubbles. Total time: 4 minutes. The repair tech told him the screen protector Apple installs is 9H tempered glass. The same 9H tempered glass that sells in 3-packs on Amazon for $8. The "H" rating refers to the Mohs hardness scale. 9H is the industry standard for every screen protector on the market Apple's, Zagg's, Spigen's, and the unbranded Amazon listing. Same hardness. Same thickness. Same oleophobic coating. The Amazon 3-packs include the same alignment frame Apple uses in-store. Place it on the phone. Drop the protector. Press down. The frame guarantees perfect alignment. No skill required. No Apple Store appointment required. He'd paid $150 across 3 phones for a product that costs $2.67 per unit on Amazon with the same installation tool included free. Saved: $42.

  Clicking into itemized receipts and disbursements for reports on the FEC website is giving a 403 error again. Was doing this all afternoon. Tried multiple browsers, multiple devices (including asking a friend in CA to try and walking to an Apple store and using a random Macbook).

  If this saved you $70 or helped you realize the Pro 2 is worth $70 more one ask: Repost the first post so the next person standing in the Apple Store staring at two boxes has the breakdown before they buy. Follow [ @RidiTechAI ] I break down the hidden comparisons, features, and pricing games that companies bank on you not questioning.

  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.

  @luxuria424 Scammed from the official Apple Store? I don’t think so. And just because your experience is different doesn’t mean that others is the same as yours. Many players have problems with Wuthering waves on high end devices.

  An AFP TV crew shot footage of an 8 year old Chinese boy named Zhou Zhiheng for a piece on Asia's youngest programmers. Round green frames. Red shirt. He sat in front of a MacBook Air at a glass desk inside a Shenzhen co-working space with iPhone XR posters mounted on the wall behind him. The voiceover said he had started out building games. The subtitle said his coding tutorial channel pulled 60,000 followers. The camera pushed in tight on his fingers across the keys. While the West holds panels about screen time for kids, China places an 8 year old in front of an unregistered code editor and rolls cameras for the international press. He was meant to be the friendly face of Asian tech literacy. He just left the sidebar open. Pause at 1:34. Skip past the C++ on the screen. Skip past the if statement the AFP voiceover was reading. Look at the left panel of the editor. The folder is labeled aspirin. The open file is jizhe.cpp. The folder tree below: 1-7, 1-7b, 10-1, 10-1.2, 10-2, 10-4, 10-6, 10-8, 11-2. ColdMath. $94,318 profit. 5,612 entries. Joined September 2025. Bio: Edge Compounds. Jizhe is the mandarin word for journalist. The file the AFP crew was rolling on was named after them. The boy had the open scanf reading a score variable. He had not typed it that morning. He had given the file its name the day the AFP request came through. The numbered folders were not chapters of a coding course. The numbering lined up with the Chinese journalism beat codes the press accreditation office issues to foreign correspondents. 1-7 is the technology beat. 10-1 is consumer electronics. 10-2 is mobile devices. 11-2 is venture capital. The folder tree was an index of which AFP and Reuters reporters covered what. The boy was not the developer. The boy was the camera trap. The agent on the MacBook Air was tracking which journalists filed filming permit requests at which Shenzhen co-working spaces three days ahead of the segments going to air. Every permit request was a position on the company being filmed. The agent traded the gap between shoot and broadcast. The crew rolled for forty minutes. The agent placed eleven positions during the shoot. Every position was on a company whose office the AFP team had stopped by that week. The comments turned into a detective board. One viewer dropped the AFP clip to 0.25x. Another translated jizhe out of the filename. A third commenter cross referenced the folder numbering against the Chinese State Council Information Office accreditation list and matched every code. Six months ago a 14 year old in Shenzhen pushed an AI agent to GitHub. Judges said no real world application. 3,100 forks later. The boy's father had been one of them. He had dropped the fork onto his son's MacBook the week the AFP request showed up in the family's WeChat. The 60,000 follower coding channel was not a coding channel. It was a feed tracking which co-working spaces were hosting which crews. The followers were operators running the same fork out of different cities. The iPhone XR posters behind him were not Apple Store decor. The shoot was happening inside a media briefing room foreign correspondents rent specifically to film this kind of segment. The agent already knew the room. The room was on the list. The AFP segment sits at 2.1 million views. The freeze frame of the folder tree cleared 4.6 million on the repost. The wallet is still compounding. The agent is still reading press accreditation requests. The unregistered editor is still open. The jizhe.cpp file is still on screen. They filmed him to prove a child could code. The child was the lens. The agent was running the shoot.

  @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.

  @OpeyemiDrift @Apple for now we’d be okay with an authorized Apple Store and service centre. the discrimination and backyard servicing is terrible out here

  @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.

  @that_john_doe @aaronp613 Firstly these device are obsolete now, second the firmware that was unsigned was the newest one for the model not some old firmware Also iPhone's slow down and overheat when the battery is bad, change that battery in an Authorized Service or Apple Store and see performance go up
