  @spiritchihiro MacBook Pro a few months ago. Told myself I’m walking out of the Apple Store tomorrow, with a working MacBook Pro (mine was broken and I had no money to get it fixed or buy a new one). Couldn’t be fixed. So my Mum just said there and then I’ll buy you a new one, and she did?

  Big props to me for successfully ordering a USB-C cable from the Apple Store website after 4 days of unsuccessfully attempting to do so. I kept sitting down to order the cable, got distracted and then at some point the following day remembered I didn't finish the order.

  Star Trek writer Peter David on why he hated Star Trek: Discovery: "I have no idea what any of it looks like. Every single scene was apparently filmed in a power outage. The sets are dark, the costumes are dark, everything is so dámņëd dark. I mean, yes, people said that the new Enterprise in the Abrams film looked like an Apple store, but at least you could see it. I can’t see crap in ST:D. " Is this a common problem with modern tv shows?

  Setup 9: She replaced the battery instead of buying a new AirTag. After 11 months, his keys AirTag stopped chirping as loudly. The Precision Finding response was slower. The battery was dying. He assumed the AirTag was disposable. Most people do. He was about to buy a replacement for $29. She took the AirTag, pressed down on the stainless steel back, twisted counterclockwise, and popped it open. Inside was a standard CR2032 battery the same coin battery that powers watches, calculators, and car key fobs. Available at every pharmacy, grocery store, and gas station in America. $3 for a single battery. $6 for a 4-pack on Amazon. She popped out the old battery, dropped in a new one, twisted the back clockwise, and the AirTag chirped to life. Full power. Ready for another year. The entire replacement took 15 seconds. No tools. No appointment. No Apple Store visit. No subscription. She told him this was the part most people don't understand about AirTags. There's no monthly fee. No annual subscription. No service plan. The AirTag costs $29 once, the battery costs $3 per year, and the Find My network the billion-device global tracking infrastructure is free forever. The total cost of ownership for a single AirTag over 5 years is roughly $44. Compare that to Tile, which charges $2.99/month for premium tracking features $36/year, $180 over 5 years. Or Samsung SmartTag, which works only within Samsung's smaller device network. The AirTag costs less per year, uses the largest tracking network on earth, and runs on a battery you can buy at a gas station. She'd been replacing the batteries on all 7 of their AirTags once a year for $21 total. The entire family's tracking system wallet, keys, car, dog, backpack, 2 suitcases costs $21/year to maintain.

  A 31-YEAR-OLD IN BELGRADE IS PULLING $8,400 A MONTH OFF FIVE MAC MINIS RUNNING IN A TOWER ON HIS DESK. The whole stack costs $19 a month in electricity to operate. The hardware paid for itself in week one. The setup is so quiet his girlfriend didn't notice when he turned it on. His name is Stefan. This is the cleanest example of the new solo operator economy I've seen all year and the numbers deserve a full breakdown. The hardware is five M4 Mac Minis stacked in a tower on his desk. Each one has a number written on it in marker, 1 through 5, so he knows which node dropped when one goes silent. A pink dumbbell sits on the shelf above them. A can of compressed air on the windowsill. The whole thing hums quieter than the mini fridge in the corner. The five machines are clustered with EXO into one virtual machine. EXO is the open-source framework that lets you string together consumer hardware into a distributed inference rig without needing a degree in systems engineering. The setup runs Llama 70B locally on MLX, Apple's machine learning framework optimized for unified memory. Nothing he runs ever touches a cloud server. No API costs. No rate limits. No latency tax. The model runs on his desk and answers in milliseconds. Here's the workflow he built around it. A client uploads a raw manuscript. Anywhere from 60,000 to 120,000 words. Indie author novels, self-help books, faceless YouTube channel scripts, the kind of long-form content that needs narration but doesn't have a studio budget. The Llama 70B model does the reading work first. It ingests the raw text, cleans the formatting, splits the chapters automatically, and tags every line of dialogue with the emotional tone it should be read in. Excited. Whispered. Angry. Resigned. Then it writes the chapter descriptions that faceless YouTube channels paste directly under their uploads. All of it done locally. All of it done in one pass. Then an open voice model on the same stack takes over and narrates the entire book in a single locked voice. The voice never gets tired, never asks for a re-record, never raises its day rate, never catches a cold the day before a session. The same voice across every chapter, every book, every client. Consistency that human narrators physically cannot match. A local audio mastering model handles the final polish. Compression, leveling, breath cleanup, room tone matching. The output is studio-quality audio ready for upload. The stack renders 28 hours of clean narration per month while he sleeps. He wakes up, exports the files, sends them to clients, invoices them, and goes back to whatever he wants to do with his day. Now the part that breaks people. The power draw across all five machines running at full load is 180 watts. He has a KUMAN meter plugged into the wall to track it. A single gaming PC idles higher than that. The entire AI studio he built consumes less electricity than a hair dryer on low. At Serbian residential rates that works out to roughly $19 a month in operating cost. Eight thousand four hundred dollars in, nineteen dollars out. A 442x margin on power alone before you account for the fact that the hardware paid for itself the first week he turned it on. His girlfriend asked why the power bill didn't move after he built it. He told her it can't, the machines barely draw anything. She asked what the whole thing cost to set up. He told her. She asked why he didn't build ten. That's the right question. A traditional audiobook studio has a narrator on a day rate, a booth, an engineer, and a monthly power bill that buries solo operators. The cheapest professional narrator in the US charges around $200 per finished hour. The cheapest decent one runs closer to $400. A 10-hour audiobook costs an indie author at least $2,000 in narration alone, plus mastering, plus mixing, plus the three week turnaround time while the narrator fits the project into their schedule. Stefan delivers the same product for a fraction of the cost, in 48 hours, with consistent quality across every chapter, and his only constraint is how fast he can find clients. The economics are completely deranged compared to traditional service businesses. He doesn't pay rent on a studio. He doesn't pay a narrator. He doesn't pay for cloud compute. His marginal cost per audiobook is approximately the electricity it takes to run the cluster for the duration of the render, which is measured in pennies. A few realizations worth sitting with. The frontier of AI economics is no longer in San Francisco. It's in apartments in Belgrade, Lagos, Manila, and Tbilisi, where operators with low overhead and high technical curiosity are quietly running businesses that look impossible from the outside. The geographic distribution of who actually makes money from AI is going to look nothing like the geographic distribution of who funded the labs. Local inference is the quiet revolution nobody on this app is talking about loudly enough. Every workflow that currently runs on OpenAI or Anthropic APIs has a cousin that runs on a Mac cluster for the price of an electrical outlet. The companies paying $30k a month in cloud bills are going to wake up in 18 months and find their margins eaten by operators paying $19. The audiobook market is just the beginning. Every service business with high human labor costs and predictable output requirements is about to get the same treatment. Voiceover work, transcription, translation, copywriting, image editing, video editing, customer support, technical writing. Each one of these has a local-inference version waiting to be built by someone with a stack of Mac Minis and an EXO config file. Stefan didn't invent anything. He just connected the right pieces. The pieces have been sitting on GitHub for over a year. The Mac Minis have been on shelves at every Apple Store. EXO is free. The voice models are open. The orchestration is a weekend project. The only barrier was knowing it was possible. Now you know.

  No be you go teach me phone business or talking about 13 pro max because you be dealer too. Which one is I don’t import the ones with original screen ? If you like buy 13 pro max from Apple Store by yourself, it’ll still hit the green screen if it’ll do. This is the general issue about the iPhone 13 Pro Max globally. This has nothing to do with refurbished or original stock. You’re the one probably buying a refurbished phone. I import my stock from Canada and USA directly from legit suppliers. Like I’ve said before, it is not all 13 pro max that do comes with the screen issue, because even the ones I sold from last 2 years to last year. The earliest complain I received from someone is after 8 months of usage. 13 pro also has screen issues, but the ones I sold to customers from my stocks has never had any screen issue up to date, but does that mean 13 pro also does not have screen issue? I don’t like it when vendors comes to manage and spit trash. Go and post it on your own page that iPhone 13 Pro Max doesn’t have screen issue at all then sell it out all.

  @ATT Your tech support told me that I should go to the Apple Store because he could not fix my issue. Apple had full access to see my settings. It’s an @ATT problem. It’s not an Apple issue.

  @Linda401gmail @RadioGenoa Don't do ANY FACIAL recognition ANYWHERE, go without or find a get around like a different browser. Tor Onion. Yes it's slow to load as a VPN. LOAD IT DIRECT FROM TOR, NOT EVER Google Play, Microsoft Store or Apple Store. Use Brave, DuckDuckGo as your default browser to get TOR.

  @tim_cook, I never expected this from Apple. After an Apple Store visit and multiple support calls over months, I’m still being told my iPhone 17 Pro has “no issues” because they’re intermittent. This is unacceptable. Case #102876848444 @AppleSupport
