  Oh good the other way worked and the article is up for anyone else who is having trouble with posting if this gets posted the issue is probably you have a update check with your Google/apple store and if you do update but then run incognito and load web

  CHINESE DEVS PACKED 1,000 MAC MINIS INTO A SINGLE DATA CENTER AND BUILT A $9,000,000-A-YEAR AI BUSINESS OUT OF APPLE'S CHEAPEST BOX. one thousand silver boxes. rack after rack, floor to ceiling, a wall of fans roaring to keep the whole room cool. Apple sold every one of them for $599 as a desktop for students and creators. these guys turned all thousand into a private cloud that rents compute Western companies charge a fortune for. the build cost around $600,000 once. electricity runs a few thousand a month. and roughly a hundred clients pay monthly retainers to run their models on hardware that never touches the public cloud. run the math and it stops looking like a hobby — boxes bought once, power measured in the low thousands, revenue clearing tens of millions before anyone in the West notices. OpenAI raised billions to build data centers. these guys raised nothing, bought a thousand boxes off the shelf, and quietly undercut the entire industry. the craziest part isn't the scale. it's that every piece of it was sitting in the Apple Store the whole time. tomorrow I'm breaking down how a farm this size is actually wired — the racks, the cooling, the software holding a thousand machines together. save this before running your own cloud stops sounding insane ↓

  @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.

  Anyone in Gaborone who specialises in Apple software issues? My Apple Watch got stuck in a boot loop after a software update & the Apple Store at The Fields Mall doesn’t seem to know how to fix it. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

  like sure I'm a nutjob or whatever, but "sir for $75 you can be taking it into the apple store, and we can be pleased to address your issue" just die lol. I don't care. waste my time, waste my life sure, but really? $75 just for me to bring it to you? How about $75,000 and you can go die.

  @purple_starzz14 like i said, the ratings does not influence on the game shutting down. the game shuts down either: a) the company pulls out the game itself or b) apple store pulls the app out because the app company did not comply to the t&cs met during the agreement

  Reclaiming Your Device The man walked out of the Apple Store that afternoon with his original battery still inside his phone and his eighty nine dollars still safely tucked into his pocket. A week later, he sent the Genius Bar worker a short message. He was finishing his entire work day with forty percent of his battery still remaining. He had not touched the Low Power Mode button a single time. We have somehow accepted a strange reality where we think our expensive modern devices just naturally degrade in a few short months. But the truth is much simpler than that. Tech companies design these phones to constantly harvest data, build their corporate networks, and serve their massive ecosystems silently in the background. They are actively using your hardware and your battery life to do their heavy lifting. Stop letting your own phone work against you. Take fifteen minutes tonight, sit down on the couch, and go through this list. You bought the phone to serve you, so make absolutely sure it actually does.

  @Aziii_6890 @AppleSupport @Apple Same problem with mine. Can't access the Apple store and there's no way to update and download apps. Because and without the Apple account (ID) the iPhone is useless!

  @IM_Pritchard @InternetH0F Allowing you to fix your battery instead of being forced into buying a new one is a good thing actually because a lot of manufacturers like apple will brick your phone if you attempt to fix it outside of a Apple Store

  An AFP TV crew filmed an 8 year old Chinese boy named Zhou Zhiheng for a feature on Asia's youngest coders. Round green glasses. Red shirt. He sat in front of a MacBook Air at a glass desk in a Shenzhen co-working space with iPhone XR posters behind him. The narrator said he started by programming games. The subtitle said he had 60,000 followers on a coding tutorial channel. The camera pushed in on his fingers on the keyboard. While the West runs panels on screen time for children, China sits an 8 year old in front of an unregistered code editor and films it for the international press. He was supposed to be the cute face of Asian tech literacy. He just left the file tree open. Pause at 1:34. Ignore the C++ on the screen. Ignore the if statement that the AFP narrator was reading aloud. Look at the left sidebar of the editor. The folder is named aspirin. The open file is jizhe.cpp. The folder tree below it: 1-7, 1-7b, 10-1, 10-1.2, 10-2, 10-4, 10-6, 10-8, 11-2. ColdMath. $94,318 profit. 5,612 entries. Joined September 2025. Bio: Edge Compounds. Jizhe is the mandarin word for journalist. The file the AFP crew was filming was named after them. The boy had the open scanf reading a score variable. He had not written it that morning. He had named the file the day the AFP request came in. The numbered folders were not coding lesson chapters. The numbering matched the Chinese journalism beat codes the press accreditation office issues to foreign correspondents. 1-7 is the technology beat. 10-1 is consumer electronics. 10-2 is mobile devices. 11-2 is venture capital. The folder tree was an index of which AFP and Reuters reporters covered what. The boy was not the developer. The boy was the camera trap. The agent on the MacBook Air was scraping which journalists requested filming permits from which Shenzhen co-working spaces three days before the segments aired. Every requested permit was a position on the company being filmed. The agent traded the gap between filming and broadcast. The crew filmed for forty minutes. The agent placed eleven positions during the shoot. Every position was on a company whose office the AFP team had visited that week. Comments turned into a detective board. Someone slowed the AFP clip to 0.25x. Someone else translated jizhe out of the filename. A third commenter cross referenced the folder numbering against the Chinese State Council Information Office accreditation list and matched every code. Six months ago a 14 year old in Shenzhen pushed an AI agent to GitHub. Judges said no real world application. 3,100 forks later. The boy's father had been one of them. He had installed the fork on his son's MacBook the week the AFP request landed in the family's WeChat. The 60,000 follower coding channel was not a coding channel. It was a feed of which co-working spaces hosted which crews. The followers were operators running the same fork from different cities. The iPhone XR posters behind him were not Apple Store decor. The shoot was inside a media briefing room rented by foreign correspondents to film exactly this kind of segment. The agent knew the room. The room was on the list. The AFP segment is at 2.1 million views. The freeze frame of the folder tree hit 4.6 million on the repost. The wallet is still compounding. The agent is still reading press accreditation requests. The unregistered editor is still open. The jizhe.cpp file is still on the screen. He was filmed as proof a child could code. The child was the lens. The agent did the filming.
