  Most customer service conversations were never actually about the problem. A surprising number happen for one reason. People are lonely. We have all felt the edge of this. A stretch of days without real connection… And suddenly the cashier, the barista, the receptionist, the person on the help line… Feel strangely important. In 2020, a grocery run became the highlight of the week. A few words with a stranger landed like a feast. We were not shopping. We were starving for contact. Now carry that same hunger into ordinary life. The answer is on Google. The fix takes thirty seconds. The issue is small enough to solve alone. And still… We call. We wait on hold. We drive there in person. Because the problem was never really the problem. The contact was. I saw this clearly standing in an Apple store one afternoon. A man frustrated that his seven-year-old phone was not as loud as it used to be. Around him… A dozen more carrying problems just as small. Tiny inconveniences held up like emergencies. Each one quietly purchasing a few minutes near another human being. Those were not technology problems. They were connection problems. People reaching for human contact… Using the only doorway that felt socially acceptable. A broken phone gives us permission to be cared for. Loneliness does not. And this is what happens when a need goes unmet for too long. It starts disguising itself. Not manipulation. Not selfishness. Just an unmet human need… Looking for the nearest warm signal the only way it knows how. And it usually lands on whoever is paid to stay patient. Service workers absorb this all day. Hours of other people's quiet loneliness… Arriving disguised as complaints they cannot actually solve. Because the real ache was never on the work order. Which means much of what we call customer service… Is not actually a customer service problem. It is loneliness… Quietly rerouted through the one interaction people could justify having. So the real fix was never better support. Or shorter wait times. Or more efficient systems. It is connection… That does not have to be manufactured. Because when people feel genuinely seen in everyday life… A thousand invented problems quietly disappear. Along with the weight they place on everyone paid to carry them.

  @_TheJasonC Let’s not forget the trust factor. I’ve seen plenty of stories about the poor customer service with Samsung. I’ve experienced it myself with issues with trade ins. They’ve tried to tell me I didn’t send in a device in the condition I said it was. The minute I mentioned having photos and videos of the condition and me packing it up, all of a sudden, they weren’t going to try to issue a charge back to me anymore. That happened a few times. Then, there’s the turn around for repairs. I’ve had a few things repaired by Apple and they’ve had them back to me within a few days. Shipped out on Monday and back to me by Wednesday. I’ve seen people have Samsung take weeks to months. Also, the ability to easily message with Apple support through iMessage. There’s trust that if you have an issue, you will be able to get ahold of someone and they’ll do their best to help you if they can. Yes, there can be the occasional poor support, but it’s far less often than the numbers I’ve seen with issues with Samsung. Google has their issues as well. My sister had an issue with her Pixel 6 Pro. They replaced it 4 times before she got so frustrated that she ended up just buying the 9 Pro XL. Neither Google nor Verizon seemed to understand the importance of keeping the customer happy. She was close to getting an iPhone and switching carriers. She’s been a Pixel user since the first Pixel. Apple is about not only the ecosystem but their post sales support and how they stand behind their products. Things like, if I switch from individual services to Apple One, they’ll refund the unused days prorated. Things like, when I had some dead pixels form on a MacBook Pro Display, I took it into the Apple Store, they ran some test and while they were doing those tests, they had things my son could do so he wasn’t bored and as a parent that is significant. He played some games on an iPad and watched something on the Apple TV. I’ve not once walked into an Apple Store and been ignored. But, I’ve tried to get help from Samsung reps inside a Best Buy and it was like I was asking a lot of them. It’s about training of their staff and how their employees treat the customers. I’ve never felt rushed either. I was picking up an iPhone, last year and did a trade in and they let me make sure everything was transferring over and made sure I didn’t need anything while my apps and settings transferred over and my carrier service moved over. The store closed and they let us finish up what we were doing while they did their closing duties. When we left, then had a bag with candy that each of us (my wife, son and I) got to take some. It was around some holiday. For me, it’s like being part of a family or big friend group. It comes down to how often have I been frustrated vs how often have I been very pleased with my experience and even had someone go above and beyond what I expected. Those experiences create loyalty.

  ok so I just saw the most unhinged tech setup and I need to talk about it someone stacked like 50+ Mac Minis on a shelf. yellow shelf. looks like a construction site met an Apple Store. and honestly?? this is lowkey genius and I'm mad nobody told me sooner because here's the ***** secret — the M-series Mac Mini might be the best value compute unit on the market right now. per watt, per dollar, per cubic inch of space. it destroys traditional server hardware in efficiency. it just doesn't LOOK like serious infrastructure so people dismiss it but some guy in a random office somewhere said you know what, I don't need a $400k rack from Dell. I need 60 of these bad boys, some ethernet, and a dream. and now he has a build/test pipeline that probably runs faster than your company's entire cloud setup no loud fans. no special power requirements. no "enterprise support contract" where someone charges you $800 to restart a service. just apples. wall to wall apples. the chair sitting lonely in the corner of the shot is sending me. someone WORKS there. they just sit next to the apple army every day and think nothing of it we are not the same #ai #macmini #macmini4

  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

  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.

  @Verizon this is terrible. I buy a new iPad and need to go to store to activate the cellular. It is a half hour wait, is this the geriatric Apple Store. These guys working are old and slow.
