  [Please share this for visibility] So Apple locked me out of my Apple Store account (for Lumary) because they need even more documentation! I already gave them my Green Card, my TN ID, and everything they asked for. Terrible user experience, Apple.

  @Sweetly_Shar @DemzDeliver Incorrect. When in poverty, you don't go to an Apple store and start stealing ****. You go for food. I've been homeless for 3 years in my life, homeless. I never stole, never needed to and neither does a single other person in this country. Every single one of them can very easily get help when and if needed. Doing otherwise is a CHOICE, a terrible one too. No, they steal and break into places to steal the most expensive **** they can so they can sell it online for drug money, clothes to make themselves look rich, or to buy things they don't NEED because they feel it's owed to them. There's a sickness with those cultures and it stems in self entitlement. Also affordability...in NYC? LMAO hahahahaha oh that has been in the gutter since that man took power, even before him it was bad, but it's worse now. Also you don't know the term Bum. I work for everything I get...as a ******* MUTE. I put in all the work myself and work hard, unlike thieves and ****** people who think everything should be given to them.

  @MAGA_X_Times @udreams30 Yep. THAT’S the scam I expected from these ‘gift cards’. No accountability. No recourse. Just a chorus of “not our responsibility” and the theft of your cash. The scam is that thieves take many cards from the store’s rack to their ‘shop’… and carefully open them to steal the alphanumeric code inside. Then, they carefully put the ‘package’ back together, replace them on the store’s display rack and, wait for someone to load money on the card. Then they immediately load that balance into THEIR ‘account’ using the stolen code. Started with Apple Store cards then spread to all of them. There is NO SECURITY on these things. Whoever uses the code first… gets the cash. Merchants couldn’t care less. They get the money no matter what. So, there is ZERO motivation for them to fix the problem as addressing it would necessarily require them to ADMIT there IS a problem. So… the whole gift card thing is a scam from every angle. Unless you can purchase the card DIRECTLY at the actual merchant and verify the balance before leaving the store, your ‘gift’ will likely disappear before the recipient can use it. Even with these precautions, the cards cannot be left where just anyone can access them. They should be dispensed by a managerial type. It’s the only way.

  One time my friend complained about his laptop not working, said he was about to go out to the Apple Store and buy a replacement. I fixed it by deleting about 100gb of hidden Garmin files

  📰 News of the day — August 16, 2026: ✦ DefiLlama has postponed its mobile app launch due to phishing apps on the Apple Store: DefiLlama's founder revealed that the company delayed its mobile app release while addressing the issue of phishing apps impersonating it on the Apple App Store. After documenting a fraudulent app draining funds from a crypto wallet, Apple promptly removed it. The founder emphasized the importance of ensuring all fake apps were eliminated to protect users from scams before the official launch of DefiLlama's app.

  MARCUS CHEN STACKED 30 MAC MINIS AND BUILT AN AI SERVER FARM. A SINGLE $599 MAC MINI CAN REPLACE YOUR $200/MONTH CLAUDE CODE ACCOUNT, COSTING JUST $3 IN ENERGY. Two months ago, a developer posted his Claude Code bill on Reddit: $170 in just 10 days. Someone replied: “I bought a Mac Mini M4. I haven’t paid Anthropic anything since then.” That same week, Mac Minis vanished from Apple Store shelves. The M4 chip delivers 120 GB/s of memory bandwidth and a unified memory architecture. The CPU and GPU share the same memory pool, so the model loads just once and both access the same data. In practice, a $599 Mac Mini can run AI better than many $1,500 Windows PCs equipped with dedicated GPUs. Since January 2026, Ollama has started supporting Anthropic’s Messages API format. With just one environment variable, Claude Code connects directly to your local Mac Mini. The same interface. Zero API cost. $0 per request. A developer who uses AI intensively can spend $459 a month across Claude Code Max, ChatGPT Pro, Gemini, Cursor, and Copilot. That adds up to $5,508 a year. The Mac Mini investment pays for itself in about three months. After that, the operating cost is around $3 in electricity. Uber rolled out Claude Code to 5,000 engineers and would have burned through a significant chunk of its $3.4 billion AI budget for 2026 in just four months. Whoever controls the infrastructure today could be years ahead of everyone else tomorrow.

  Here's what she told me at the end: Apple operates over 500 retail stores in 26 countries. They generate more revenue per square foot than any other retailer in the world. But the money isn't what makes them different. It's what happens inside them that most customers never experience. Free diagnostics that catch $99 problems before they become $2,000 replacements. Free workshops that teach photography, video, music, and coding every day, in every store. A trade-in program that turns old devices in any condition into instant credit. Education pricing that saves students and teachers hundreds of dollars. Personal Shopping Sessions that build your perfect setup with zero pressure. A Small Business Team that configures, deploys, and manages devices for companies. A Self Service Repair program that ships genuine parts and professional tools to your home. An app with AR shopping, video consultations, and express checkout. And a 14-day return policy that lets you live with a product risk-free. Most customers walk in, buy something, and walk out. They never book a workshop. They never schedule a diagnostic. They never check their trade-in value. They never ask for education pricing. They never meet the Business Team. They never know about Self Service Repair. They never try the return policy on a purchase they're unsure about. "Apple built the highest-revenue retail stores on earth not by selling harder, but by offering more. The selling happens because the services build trust. Most customers access 10% of what the store offers. The other 90% is sitting there free, available, and waiting for someone to walk up and ask." She said the 9 services above are available right now at your nearest Apple Store. Most of them require nothing more than walking in and asking. Some require a quick online booking. None of them cost anything beyond the products themselves. The store didn't change. What you know about it did. And that's the difference between someone who buys from Apple and someone who actually uses an Apple Store.

  If this changes your upgrade decision or saves you from buying the standard iPhone 18 that won't arrive until March 2027 one ask: Repost the first post so the next person planning a fall upgrade sees the 12 features landing in September before they walk into the Apple Store. Follow [ @jackcoder0 ] I break down the hidden specs, upgrade decisions, and tech strategies that companies bank on you not comparing. Next thread: iPhone 18 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra the honest 10-round comparison. Which flagship wins depends on one question nobody asks.

  I got just about every single new iPhone release since 1.0. I even stood in line 5+ hours a couple of times at the flagship Palo Alto store. Missed the sporadic Steve appearances, though. RIP. One time, I stood there all day for the release of iPhone 4. That's the one where it was glass, front and back. That very night, we were walking back from a restaurant, and I fumbled and dropped it. Shattered. Next day, I go to a different Apple Store, one nearby. They asked me, "how long did you stand in line?" 6 hours, I say. They took extreme pity on me and replaced it with a new one. No charge. Other times, they have done similarly, like when a battery crapped out, and they exchanged it with a refurb. Another time, I jumped in the pool with my X (10.0) and it crapped out from water. Replaced for free. Apple has been exceedingly good to me as a great company. My MacBooks last 8+ years, never a single problem. I replace them simply because it's "time." iPhone 10 (X) was the last one I purchased. See, since about #7, the camera was already better than I could hope for. Met all my needs, and it was a huge step forward in low-light photography. Then with every new release, it seemed to focus (har har) on the camera. Like a huge percentage of the release shindig was about the camera. No other huge developments. By this time, 95% of owners are only going to use the excellent point-and-shoot capabilities. So, in 2020, a few months after moving to Thailand, I asked myself, why am I carrying around a $1,300 phone when I can get everything I need for about $350 (10,000 baht)? So I did. Got a Samsung first, two replacements for the same price point since then, different brands. My latest is a Vivo. I'm sure the 4x more expensive iPhone does better photos, if i were to bother to geek out on that. But I'm fine. And if i break my phone, lose it, or it gets stolen, it's not a panic event. Oh, well, time for a new one.

  @nafoviking Glad you like it, I worked in an apple store until earlier this year and those things were SUCH SLOW SELLERS. Absolutely nothing wrong with them, except the charging port sensor was to sensitive to humidity. Just a perfectly OK iPhone.
