  I just poured juice into my MacBook. It wasn't a lot, but enough to worry. Dried off, tent mode. You know what's really annoying about modern MacBooks? They turn on after the slightest touch of any key. The power button is touch-sensitive (no physical "push" needed). The thing turned on 6 times on the way home. Local shop in Bangkok won't fix it (it voids warranty). Not enough time for bringing it to the Apple Store (I leave in 3 days). There's an authorized shop in Da Nang, but it takes ~3 weeks (according to reviews). I leave after 2.5. After that I'm in Korea. No issue there, but it's 3 weeks after the incident. Apparently juice is the worst (corrosion). I always drink black coffee ... the one day I don't 😣 The upside: I have AppleCare+. It's covered no matter how far the corrosion proceeds, and what breaks. Also, I have my old MacBook Air. I can keep working. Kind of weird timing after my recent posts (see quoted). It'll be fine, but damn it's stressful. It's nice to be able to scream "liquid on keyboard, new branch, push everything, quick" at your agents. They really did hurry. Now I can continue working. </life-update>

  @IrrelevantNerd @beautyskillz Digital movies are very different so no, it's not the same. This is long but it'll help people understand. There's two different versions of digital movies you can buy/get. There's the ones you get from Fandango At Home, Movies Anywhere, Microsoft Store, formerly the PlayStation Store, Apple Store, Google Play Store, etc. These are the ones you have a limited license to VIEW on those platforms only. When you read the EULA for those you'll see it tells you that you own nothing. You just have a license to view it on that platform. Meaning, if that platform goes away? You'll lose access and they have no real obligation to refund you or move platforms for you. That's what you agree to every time they do that. Movie licenses are subject to renewal, gaming licenses are one and done. Renewing the license every few years is what those third party companies do on your behalf. If they can't get it done they lose access which, in turn, means you lose access. The other version of digital movies? You DO own it. Fully. I'll explain it. These digital movies are movies you get directly from the studios that distributed it. Meaning, you bought the DVD or Blu-Ray and the digital code it came with, you used it. You got a code directly from their website store. Or, you got gifted a code or won a code from them or a third party that got the codes from them directly. With that? Once you redeem that code, that movie is yours to keep on one of those platforms I mentioned earlier. Forever. If a platform you bought a code and put your paid movie on goes out of business? They have an obligation to either find you another locker (they use this term for the other digital platforms they house the movies) to store the movie on, or they HAVE to let you download the movies to your personal storage. All of this is in their EULAs. I hope you read it all to get a better understating of the difference between movies and games EULA. A game is never going to get taken from you unless you do one of two things. You break TOS, or you call them and tell them you don't want the license any longer. Also in their EULA. Even if they no longer exist as a company you still own your games digitally. They'll leave you to download them or leave them attached to your username on your consoles. They will not shut down the usernames just because they don't exist as a company. They will keep the agreement in place. That's just how it works. Again, I know this is a long read, but it's very informative.

  The uncomfortable truth. Apple shipped Wallet with every iPhone for 12 years. They added car keys in 2020. Home keys in 2021. Digital ID in 2022. Transit, boarding passes, insurance, and loyalty cards have been building quietly since 2014. But the app icon is a picture of a credit card. The setup wizard doesn't mention car keys. The Apple Store employee doesn't walk you through transit passes. The iPhone ad doesn't show someone unlocking their front door with their wrist. Apple marketed Wallet as a payment app. Then they built it into a physical-life replacement platform one feature per year, one category at a time, without ever updating the way they talk about it. Most iPhone owners see the Wallet icon and think: "That's where my credit card lives." They're right. It's also where their car key, their home key, their driver's license, their hotel key, their boarding pass, their transit card, their insurance card, their event tickets, and their cash card live. Or could live if they opened the app past the first card they added. "I used to empty my pockets every night onto the nightstand phone, wallet, keys, cards, badges. Now I set down one phone. Everything else is inside it. Has been for years. I just never set it up." Apple Wallet isn't a payment app. It's the app that replaces the objects you've been carrying your entire adult life. Apple just never told you because 'tap to pay' fits on a billboard, and 'digital replacement for your entire pocket' doesn't. 9 features. 35 minutes. One pocket. Everything else is in the drawer. The wallet was always in the phone. You just never unpacked it.

  The uncomfortable truth: Apple operates 500+ retail stores worldwide. Each one generates more revenue per square foot than any other retailer on earth. And most customers use the store for one thing: buying a product and leaving. Free workshops that teach photography, video, music, and device mastery never attended. Genius Bar diagnostics that are free on any device never requested. Trade-in valuations that take 3 minutes and apply instantly never checked. Price matching against Best Buy and Target never asked for. A 14-day return window for risk-free testing never used strategically. Free data transfer and setup declined and regretted at home. Education and military discounts worth $100-229 never mentioned. Device recycling for every old gadget in your drawer never brought in. Every service is free. Every service is available. Every service exists to make the device you already bought more useful and the next purchase more affordable. The former employee's last line: "I worked at Apple for 5 years. I sold thousands of devices. But the most rewarding part of my job was the services not the sales. Setting up an 80-year-old's first iPhone and watching her FaceTime her grandkids. Teaching a teenager iPhone photography and watching his photos improve in 90 minutes. Running diagnostics on a 'dead' MacBook and fixing it with a software reset for free. Giving a genuinely kind customer a free battery replacement that should have cost $89 because she treated me like a person, not a register. The Apple Store isn't just a store. It's a service center. A classroom. A repair shop. A trade-in counter. A recycling facility. Most customers use 10% of it. The other 90% is free and waiting." 11 secrets. Same Apple Store. Same glass doors. The products are on the tables. The services are behind the Genius Bar, inside the workshop schedule, and on the website you've never scrolled. Walk in this weekend. Not to buy something. To learn something. Fix something. Trade in something. Ask about something. The store was always more than a store. Most customers just never asked.

  @tibor_tee Although I have subscribed to grok bot, I have not been able to use it due to certain technical glitches. I subscribed to it through my iPhone Apple Store in India, as there were certain issues while subscribing through the website. Still no response from your team. Please look into it. I am so excited to use clawdbot but am not able to do it, writing from India.

  I feel most at peace when the Apple geniuses at the Apple Store let me pretend to be a technology nerd about my broken MacBook

  Thank you bro. That 128 gb storage on 16 Pro was absolutely chaotic , so a change was necessary. I always had full storage and I was deleting and downloading the same apps every day. My Dad got an iPhone 17 in mist blue as well, , trading in my old 16 Pro at the Apple Store for $925 aud. Got the full value for it, despite having some deep scratches. iPhone 17 was $1399 aud, after the Trade In, it was $474 aud. This iPhone Air was his for the last 4 months. But now he transferred everything to that 17 , so this Air is mine. I did an iCloud backup , and have iOS 27 beta running on this iPhone Air in Sky Blue. I could have chosen the 17, but I wanted a unique iPhone, and so far I don’t really have an issue with it. I wish 0.5x camera and better battery life , but it’s amazing and beautiful iPhone. The 12 gb ram with the best Siri and expressive voices is amazing so far. It’s like my silver cellular 11 inch M5 iPad Pro with both having C1X cellular and N1 Wifi/Bluetooth/Thread chips — the phone and tablet feel like twins. For now, Air is a “temporary-relief” iPhone mainly for storage. If the iPhone 18 Pro interests me, then I might get that, and give this Air to my mom. She needs an iPhone as well. currently has Pixel 7 Or if the iPhone Air is okay, might as well wait for the 20th anniversary iPhone. Or my dad might get the foldable iPhone Ultra, and give the 17 to my mom. Time will tell. Interesting times ahead such as the new HomePod, Apple TV with AI, MacBook Pro/Ultra with OLED screen etc.

  @13_T_C It uses the xpub so we shouldn’t have any problems. But who knows really. Make sure you use the right one and not a scam. A guy last year lost 6 Bitcoin because he downloaded a fake sparrow app from the Apple Store. They have no app.
