-
Tim Jarrell of PWUnlimited (@TimmyBuddy) reported@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.

James Harvey (@AgileHarvey) reportedCan’t just walk into the Apple Store and outright buy a new phone without having to make and appointment and sit down with someone. Utterly ridiculous.

Joey (@IAmTh3Person) reported@J3nX24 @DylanMcD8 if it does, ill just go to the Apple Store and tell them to pls fix it

Campbell (@boomers_ass) reportedThe Apple Store is a joke. Went in last week to replace my iPhone battery. They had to order the part. Waited ~10 days, then got told: “Come in within 2 days or we might give the battery to someone else.” Made an appointment for today. Waited, then the rep says they can’t do the repair because “the system we use to track repairs is down.” Me: “You have the part. You have my phone. But you can’t install it because the computer is down?” Poor guy — not his fault. But the geniuses running the Apple Store aren’t quite as smart as they like to pretend. This is NOT the future.

Jacob Hewes (@SportsSciJacob) reportedWalked to the Apple Store today thinking my $3000 MacBook that I thought was broken for the last two years I was gonna have to pay 600 bucks to get fixed sure enough it works then I go to the T-Mobile store and find out I can get a brand new Apple Watch for free. Must’ve been my lucky day.

SeekerX (@seeker_xs) reportedA 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.

Joey Hansen (@joeydhansen) reportedBig props to me for successfully ordering a USB-C cable from the Apple Store website after 4 days of unsuccessfully attempting to do so. I kept sitting down to order the cable, got distracted and then at some point the following day remembered I didn't finish the order.

tom 🎸 (@uncreativetom) reported@Andrewislington I had to go to the Apple Store and they just plugged it into another Mac to restore it. I could have done it myself but I only own one, and no friends with Macs were nearby at the time hahaha. The main issue was that I hadn't backed anything up so lost loads of files oops

Chidanand Tripathi (@thetripathi58) reportedA man's iPhone battery was dying by 2 PM every day. But his Battery Health was at 99%. He constantly closed background apps. Turned down his brightness. Lived on Low Power Mode. The battery still melted like ice in the sun. He went to the Apple Store, ready to pay $89 for a battery replacement. The Genius Bar employee held up a hand: "Keep your money. Let me show you something." She opened Settings → Privacy & Security and sighed. "There are silent 'vampire' features bleeding your battery dry. Apple turns almost all of them on by default. Nobody tells you they exist. Let's fix it." Here's what she showed him in the next 8 minutes. 🧵

GeeBeeNZ (@GeeBeeNZ) reported@Linda401gmail @RadioGenoa Don't do ANY FACIAL recognition ANYWHERE, go without or find a get around like a different browser. Tor Onion. Yes it's slow to load as a VPN. LOAD IT DIRECT FROM TOR, NOT EVER Google Play, Microsoft Store or Apple Store. Use Brave, DuckDuckGo as your default browser to get TOR.

Jack (@jackcoder0) reportedHer Apple Watch battery dropped to 78% after just one year. She wore it daily. She charged it overnight. She used it like every other Apple Watch owner she knew. Yet her battery had degraded faster in 12 months than her iPhone had in 3 years. She took it to the Genius Bar, expecting them to confirm it was defective. The technician ran every diagnostic. "Your watch isn't broken. It's just been running 24 hours a day doing things it doesn't need to do. There are 4 default settings on every Apple Watch that hammer the battery overnight. Apple knows. They've known since the first Series 1 launched. They don't change the defaults." She asked why. He gave the same answer Apple Store employees have learned to give silence. Then he opened the Watch app on her iPhone and walked her through everything. Here's what he showed her. 🧵
