  bad news : my tablet suddenly crashed the day before, even i tried to switch it on again but it still doesn't work , so I have to take it to Apple store for repair (and there's no guarantee they can fix it)so I might not be able to upload any digital art between now and July

  @dhans4all @ravikchandar @Vijaylocopilot Better take it to the Apple Store, they might change it free of charge. Recently I had done it for an iPhone 13(particular batch had quality issues with battery)

  @ajrgd @UK_Daniel_Card Its just fun like, everywhere ive gone i scan without hesitation. If you go to the apple store for repair they make you scan a qr code to login and authenticate your account and devices to the genius bar with one click.

  A student in the United States received a $3,000 university grant and spent the entire amount on five Mac Minis, not because he wanted a better study setup, and not because he was trying to impress anyone in his dorm, but because he was tired of waking up every morning and explaining his life to an AI that had forgotten everything by the next session. He did not use the money for textbooks, private tutoring, paid courses, or a new laptop like the university probably expected. He went to an Apple Store, bought five small machines, carried them back to his dorm room, numbered them from 1 to 5 with a black marker, stacked them on a cheap metal shelf beside his desk, connected a power meter to the wall, made instant noodles, and went to sleep while the machines began turning his room into something that looked less like student housing and more like a private AI lab built on scholarship money. His neighbors thought he was mining crypto, which made sense from the outside, because all they saw was a shelf full of computers running through the night, cables hanging behind the desk, a small fan pointed at the stack, and a student who suddenly cared too much about wattage. What they did not understand was that he was not trying to mine coins; he was trying to build a system that remembered his classes, his assignments, his codebase, his mistakes, his goals, and the product he was quietly building while everyone else was still treating AI like a smarter search bar. The problem he wanted to solve was simple but annoying enough to change everything. Every time he opened a new AI chat, he had to explain who he was, what he was studying, what project he was building, what the professor wanted, which parts of the codebase were broken, what he had already tried, what had failed, what he had learned the day before, and why the answer needed to fit his specific situation instead of sounding like generic advice from a model with no memory. He realized that the most valuable thing was not another chatbot, but a system that could keep context long enough to become useful. Each Mac Mini became responsible for a different part of his life. One machine processed his lecture notes and turned them into explanations he could actually understand. Another reviewed his assignments before submission and checked whether his arguments, code, and formatting matched the requirements. A third acted like a private tutor that questioned him until he could explain the material back clearly. A fourth wrote, tested, and refactored code for the product he was building outside class. The fifth coordinated the whole system, kept the rules updated, stored the context, and decided which task needed to run next while he was sleeping. There was no development team behind it, no manager assigning tickets, no daily standup, no productivity consultant, and no university department guiding the experiment. There was only a rules file, five machines on a dorm shelf, and a student who understood that local AI became much more valuable once it stopped being a conversation and started behaving like infrastructure. The university had given him money for education, but he used it to build an education system that did not forget him. That was the part most people missed when they saw the setup. The point was not only that the machines were powerful enough to run useful models locally; the point was that they belonged to him, which meant his lecture notes, unfinished code, business ideas, exam prep, personal mistakes, drafts, and prompts stayed in his room instead of being uploaded into somebody else’s cloud dashboard under somebody else’s terms of service. During the day, he still went to class like everyone else, listened to lectures, submitted assignments, and looked like a normal student trying to get through the semester. At night, the system summarized readings, found gaps in his understanding, generated practice questions, cleaned up code, tested features, wrote documentation, and moved his side project forward without needing him to sit there and manually push every step. When he woke up, he was not starting from zero like everyone else opening a blank chat window. He was starting from wherever the machines had stopped. At first, people in the dorm laughed at the shelf with the numbered Mac Minis because it looked excessive, strange, and slightly ridiculous for a student room. Then they started asking him to summarize lectures they had missed. After that, they asked whether it could help them prepare for exams, review essays, explain technical concepts, debug projects, and remember the context of their classes without forcing them to rewrite the same background information every time they needed help. That was when the private study system became a product. He packaged smaller versions of the setup for other students, not as a replacement university and not as another generic AI wrapper, but as a memory layer for people who were tired of using tools that forgot them every morning. It became private study agents, class note summarizers, exam preparation bots, coding copilots, and project assistants that remembered the user’s material, progress, weaknesses, and deadlines. The grant was $3,000, the machines cost less to run than most monthly subscriptions, and the first paying users came from the same dorm that had originally joked he was mining crypto. What started as a way to survive his own semester turned into a product other students were willing to pay for, because it solved the problem they had all accepted as normal. Now the system makes around $45,000 a month, and the strangest part is that none of it began as a startup pitch. It began as a student using university money to stop repeating himself to a machine. The university thought it was funding his education. What it actually funded was the infrastructure he used to rebuild it.

  @Nibiru1000 I got a gas station down the street owned by Indians and I swiped my card in there one time and a few days later I had a bunch of random charges from an Apple Store, we don’t have an apple store in my area. They are lowlifes.

  @Apple @AppleSupport you guys need to fix this rubbish issue with the AirPods 4. My pods keeps dropping and reconnecting from my device and I’ve taken it to the Apple Store three times now! It’s getting ridiculous!!!

  I feel like buying directly from the Apple Store gives you a better chance of getting a top-quality device. All my iPhones have been carted straight from the Apple Store, and my iPhone 15 and 17 are still at 100% battery health. Even my iPhone 11, which I’ve been using since 2019, is only down to 86% battery health.

  @usmantweets_ I got the same problem with my iPhone 14 plus. Rear camera is not working. Unfortunately, as per the apple store, the service program is not going to be covered for my device even though my device is manufactured in Dec 2023. @AppleSupport @Apple pls help

  Contrast the quote my experience: An Employer once had a supply issue with equipment supplier. Opened a new bank account that allowed Apple Pay digital cards over email. Created me a card. Sent it over. Transferred cash onto it, apologised profusely and asked if could go to Apple Store (during work hours so fine with me) Nice to know when you’re working with serious people.

  @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.

  The 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.
