  back in 2023 I took it to a different Apple Store and my laptop was in worse condition (it was broken) but they repaired it so quickly. But this Apple Store was so terrible. all but one of the workers actually cared from the beginning when I spoke to them.

  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

  The uncomfortable truth: Apple's business model rewards storage anxiety. The more often customers see "Storage Almost Full," the more likely they are to: 1. Pay for iCloud subscriptions 2. Upgrade to higher-storage models 3. Buy a new iPhone entirely Every default setting on a new iPhone trends in the direction of consuming more storage, not less. The 7 fixes above take 10 minutes total. They cost nothing. They will recover an average of 40-60 GB on most iPhones over 12 months old. The Apple Store employee said one more thing before he left: "We see this every day. Most people don't even check Settings → General → iPhone Storage before they walk in. They just assume the phone is too small for them. It almost never is." RT this so more iPhone users stop spending $1,000 on a storage problem that could be solved with 7 toggles.

  this is my plan for this month: 1. first, i’ll focus on nomi and try to build and ship the app on the apple store. 2. after that, i’ll start working on sortai. i want to make it a useful tool for founders to solve marketing problems, especially around ugc content and app marketing. 3. the third project could be a big b2b technical saas project. what’s your plan for this month? feel free to drop it below. i’d love to hear what you’re building. let’s go 🔥

  @ZunairaAi It sounds frustrating to deal with persistent storage issues despite taking all the right steps. I hope the Apple store was able to help find a solution.

  @MoshiMoshiMoan Ethan Ralph probably has less than $9000 US left. He probably sold the stolen MacBook to pay for *******. It should interesting when @scarletthampt0n decides to lock the stolen MacBook down preventing anyone from using it with MacOS. It would require a US Apple Store to unbrick it. With his temporary residency visa expiring, he may be back in the US soon.

  Her 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. 🧵

  The Ultimate Takeaway: Taking Back Your Phone She walked out of the Apple Store at 2:45 PM. Her wallet was exactly as full as when she walked in. Her battery was at 82%. And for the first time in six months, she didn't feel a knot in her stomach about finding a wall plug. The Situation: We almost always blame the physical battery. We think our phones are just getting old, or broken, or that we simply use them too much. We accept living in a constant state of low-battery anxiety, carrying heavy power banks and tangled white cables everywhere we go like we are carrying life support. The System Reality: When you take a brand new smartphone out of the box, it is not actually set up to serve you. It is set up by default to serve app developers, advertisers, and the parent company. It is set up to constantly pull data, refresh feeds, track your location, and report back to base. The Technical Drain: Think about it: you are spending over a thousand dollars on a device, but out of the box, that device is working a full-time, 24/7 shadow job behind your back. It is burning through its own life span and your battery percentage to do things you never even asked it to do. The Fix: Take 12 minutes today to walk through these settings. Turn off the background noise. Shut down the silent trackers. Put up boundaries. Tell your apps they are only allowed to work when you physically tap on them and ask them to work. The Result: Two weeks later, the woman went to bed at 11:00 PM. She placed her phone on her nightstand to charge for the night. The screen lit up: 34%. This is not just about saving your battery life. It is about taking back ownership of your device. It is about getting a clear peace of mind and making sure you own your phone, instead of letting your phone own you.

  A Virtual card saves you from 30-50% tax in each payment.. (Yearly upto 1k$ save!!!) Here is the full view :: I've tried to buy @claudeai's max 20x plan that is for 200$ In my Android app it shows 33.75k BDT= 275$~ Reason : Gpay is legal in my country,so the govt + google play store are taking this 30%~ together In my Iphone is shows 999 AED= 271$~ Reason : Apple store taking 30% tax as per their rules, Moreover Apple Pay is not legal into my country yet, so i use UAE apple id where tax is only 5% for this, If my country govt legal this, they will surely take more 15% like gpay! So it will add more 30$+ when it become legal... At Claude website from any device it shows 200$+ Tax Here tax means it depends on which Countries Visacard you are using to pay! As virtual cards are not registered into any countries bank & as the diposite in card can be done via crypto We are safe from the Tax & etc etc issue Means fixed 200$ i have to give & a single penny wont be waste into Google pay or Apple pay or govt. Tax~ So,, use any trusted company's virtual card & Purchase from website,, Congrates , You are saving 30-50% in every usage...

  Malko - my bedtime app blocker got rejected from apple store review. The turnaround time was quite fast! Last time I had to wait for 20 days for a rejection. Here are the reasons. 1. Incompatible with iPad - I have marked the app as iphone only. I'm not sure why they tested it on ipad. It may be easier to fix this than argue with them. 2. Paywall content - it does not clearly describe what the user will receive for the price. Seems an issue with messaging. Will rework and resubmit. Approval coming in any day now!

  Sign of the time She is so ******* bored and distracted….she wasn’t really looking for trouble, yesterday. “I was just standing there,in an Apple store, USA,and got hit in the face for no reason at all.” What happened next?? Public fights are normal nowadays. Weird.

  I don't know. I'm sure it's pretty, but this looks like an Apple Store on wheels. Where are the physical controls? I'll take real engineering that solves real problems. My two cents.

  @Somniss Quality Indie games are the future. It's just super easy to make a prototype. Steam has to find a solution to this problem. Their market will turn into google play apple store at some point.
