  @_GTAVI_ I don't. They had the opportunity of a lifetime to generate early 00's Apple Store hype for a midnight release of this game. Naa Code in a box and maybe a physical release down the road. I hope the story gets leaked TLOU2 style.

  Kris Puckett (@krispuckett) reported 2 minutes ago

  There were two reasons I did this: 1. MOST IMPORTANT was an audit of the screens without being distracted. I wanted to just sit and stare at each one then write down my thoughts on how to make them better. Then pass that back to Claude Code easily. 2. Easy access to Apple Store/web assets.

  @ParkerOrtolani Once battery health goes down below 80%, you can take your iPad Pro into the Apple Store to get the battery replaced.

  6. Free data transfer and setup the service most buyers decline and then struggle alone. When you buy a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac at the Apple Store: the staff will transfer your data from your old device, set up the new one, and walk you through the key features. Free. Most customers say "no thanks, I'll set it up at home" then spend 3 hours figuring out data transfer, re-downloading apps, re-entering passwords, and troubleshooting iCloud sync issues. The Apple Store setup takes 20-30 minutes. They do it while you browse. They transfer contacts, photos, apps, and settings from your old device. They pair your Apple Watch. They configure Face ID. They verify iCloud backup. For seniors and less tech-savvy buyers: the in-store setup eliminates the most frustrating part of a new device. You walk in with an old phone. You walk out with a new phone fully set up, fully loaded, fully working. For Mac buyers: the staff transfers files, settings, and applications from your old Mac to the new one using Migration Assistant. Everything transfers. Even your desktop wallpaper.

  // Just a heads up to my close moots, I have tech issues with my phone again so I will be away from answering on my phone at least for a while, since I will be using a loaner and sending in my phone to get fixed by my local apple store. I had issues with it earlier this year

  @SusanDReynolds Need a cop? All you need to find is an Apple Store and there will be at least one cop out front courtesy of Apple,,, no Apple Store nearby, if you’re a sailor, no- your assailant has a gun be absolutely sure to mention that to the police when you call, it makes a difference. During those 20 years, we were consistently the only house on the entire block to display lights out front at Halloween and Christmas. We gave out a **** ton of candy. I saw some guys Tazed out my living room window , once my wife saw a stabbing across the street where, after the cops showed up, everyone left OK. five police in riot gear with ARs arrested a guy down the street, in his apartment . I was mugged a block away, identified who did it. The cops assured me that the bad weekend he was about to have was probably going to be the only punishment he got and they were right thanks. I watched thousands of dollars of groceries walk out the Safeway door at seventh and Cabrillo. My fondest memory was watching a Young partier with crazy hair run out the front door with a 12 pack and a chicken and hop on his skateboard which he had deftly positioned across the street. He was down to Balboa, dragging the tail to maintain his speed it was quite awesome.

  BTW, a release of a myth banner is actually a great time to **** up a game's reach on the appstore by giving scathing 1 star reviews on Apple Store/Google Play. Logging in shows there's want for the game but bad reviews shows that there's game management issues. #NoValkoNoMoney

  I just poured juice into my MacBook. It wasn't a lot, but enough to worry. Dried off, tent mode. You know what's really annoying about modern MacBooks? They turn on after the slightest touch of any key. The power button is touch-sensitive (no physical "push" needed). The thing turned on 6 times on the way home. Local shop in Bangkok won't fix it (it voids warranty). Not enough time for bringing it to the Apple Store (I leave in 3 days). There's an authorized shop in Da Nang, but it takes ~3 weeks (according to reviews). I leave after 2.5. After that I'm in Korea. No issue there, but it's 3 weeks after the incident. Apparently juice is the worst (corrosion). I always drink black coffee ... the one day I don't 😣 The upside: I have AppleCare+. It's covered no matter how far the corrosion proceeds, and what breaks. Also, I have my old MacBook Air. I can keep working. Kind of weird timing after my recent posts (see quoted). It'll be fine, but damn it's stressful. It's nice to be able to scream "liquid on keyboard, new branch, push everything, quick" at your agents. They really did hurry. Now I can continue working. </life-update>

  Today wasn’t a good day. I was already dealing with a lot and on top of everything, it was August 15th a date that carries so much pain for so many of us. Later there was an issue with my phone and I had to leave it at the Apple Store for about four hours .So I found a quiet corner and started reading with no phone I ended up reading for hours, until I fell asleep. When I woke up, I genuinely felt like a completely different person. And that’s when it hit me. Something as simple as reading, learning, escaping into a book, and understanding the words in front of you is a privilege that millions of Afghan girls have been denied for five years. Now imagine being told you cannot learn. That you don’t have the right to read or write. You might think, who would be crazy enough to say that? But yes this is the reality for girls and women in Afghanistan in 2026. Five years later, they are still being denied one of the most basic human rights: the right to learn.

  2. Choose the right court and jurisdiction. • Small claims court: Often the most practical for modest consumer claims (defective product, denied refund, billing dispute). Limits typically range from about $2,500–$25,000 depending on the state (e.g., around $12,500 for individuals in California). Procedures are simplified, fees are low, and lawyers are often not allowed or needed. You may be able to file in your local small claims court if Apple has sufficient contacts there, though Apple may challenge venue based on its terms. fairshake. com • State superior/civil court: For larger amounts or more complex claims. • Federal court: Available for federal-question cases (e.g., certain intellectual property, antitrust, or securities claims) or diversity jurisdiction (parties from different states and amount in controversy over $75,000). Apple is a California corporation with its principal place of business in Cupertino, California. • Venue/forum clauses and personal jurisdiction rules apply. Apple sells products nationwide, supporting specific jurisdiction in many places for related claims, but contractual clauses often point to Santa Clara County, California. 3. Prepare and file the complaint (or petition). This formal document names the parties (Apple Inc. as defendant), states the facts, legal basis for the claims, and the relief sought. Use the specific court’s required forms/format. Pay the filing fee (can range from under $100 in small claims to several hundred dollars in higher courts). File with the court clerk (in person, by mail, or electronically where allowed). 4. Serve the lawsuit properly (“service of process”). This officially notifies the defendant and is critical—defective service can get the case dismissed. For Apple Inc. (a California corporation), the reliable method is service on its registered agent: • CT Corporation System, 330 N. Brand Blvd, Suite 700, Glendale, CA 91203. • Use a professional process server (or sheriff in some places). Do not rely on delivering papers to an Apple Store or Apple Park—these are generally not valid for the corporation. Obtain a proof-of-service affidavit to file with the court. undisputedlegal. com 5. Proceed through the litigation. Apple will typically respond (answer, motion to dismiss, etc.) within a set time (often 20–30 days). Then comes discovery, possible motions, settlement talks, and potentially trial. Apple has substantial legal resources and often vigorously defends cases. Practical Realities and Costs • Filing fees, service costs, and (if applicable) attorney fees add up. In higher courts you may face significant expenses; contingency-fee arrangements are sometimes available for certain claims. • Even in small claims, success is not guaranteed—Apple has defended (and sometimes settled or lost) product/warranty cases there. • Class actions exist for broader issues; individuals usually cannot start one alone without counsel. • Outcomes depend heavily on the strength of evidence and law. Many cases settle; few go fully to trial against a company of this size. Again, speak with a lawyer (consumer protection, product liability, or civil litigation specialist) who can review your specific situation, any contracts, evidence, and local rules. Legal aid societies, bar association referral services, or law school clinics may offer low- or no-cost initial consultations in some areas. Acting without proper guidance risks wasting time and money or harming your position.

  @tunguz Were you previously subscribed to pro subscription through Apple store? They apparently don’t support pro subscription through appstore now, they only support upgrades up to plus subscription in the appstore, so just need to continue your pro subscription through their official website instead. This happened to me as well, no issues after upgrading through web.

  Most people in crypto are still chasing the next 10x narrative while completely missing what’s actually being built right now. $GARLY is building something unique and new. 99% of crypto projects that are born are larps/farms and often copy and paste just to farm and that’s it. Pure crap. People buy in FOMO projects that are only pump and dump — as we just saw with solana:HmTi3CQfKfXWbn1tNoiAxH7GzMV7L3tDAmPWabZEBAGS , which went from 4 million market cap down to 200k in just 3/4 days. Meanwhile it fades solid projects with legit teams that are developing something unique like $GARLY. $GARLY isn’t another recycled narrative. It’s the first real AI personal safety companion in crypto — privacy-first, proactive, and designed for the exact moment you can’t press a button. No other crypto project is doing this. The only real competitors are traditional companies already valued in the billions. Meanwhile the problem @appGarly is solving affects billions of people worldwide. Holders are growing every single day. The team is shipping real updates almost daily: • App submitted for final Google Play review • Apple Store (iOS) setup starting now • Jupiter verification submitted (likes needed to fast-track) • Premium version coming soon (name chosen by the community) • 30 automated test suites + 1532 checks, zero failures This is what an actual category-defining project looks like when it’s still early. Don’t sleep on it at just ~150k Mcap now. Millions are coming. $Garly 🧄💎

  We finally got something from Apple that brings us one step closer. We got declined, but we only need to fix the issue and apply again. We need to add Face ID or a password to the app. After that, we should be in the Apple Store. Be ready. Givest will be the future of RWA on-chain. It’s never been this easy to send a stock. Soon, you’ll be able to send stocks like it was an SMS (like, for real).

  The uncomfortable truth. Apple ships the Apple Watch with every feature enabled because the spec sheet is the sales pitch. "Always-On Display. Continuous heart rate. Environmental noise monitoring. Blood oxygen. Temperature sensing." Every feature justifies the price tag. Every feature sounds essential on the product page. But every feature also drains the battery. And Apple rates the watch at 18 hours with "normal use" a definition they control by choosing which features count as "normal." When your watch dies at 2 PM, Apple doesn't say "you have too many features running." They say "the battery lasts 18 hours." When your battery health drops to 80% after 2 years, Apple doesn't say "your charging habits degraded the cells." They offer a $79 replacement or a $449 upgrade. Apple makes money when your battery degrades. They make money when you upgrade. They do not make money when you change 9 settings and keep the same watch for 5 years. The guy who charges every other day and the guy who charges twice a day own the exact same device. Same chip. Same battery. Same hardware. One of them opened Settings. The other opened the Apple Store. "Your Apple Watch doesn't have a battery problem. It has a settings problem. And the company that sold it to you has no incentive to tell you the difference." 9 settings. 7 minutes. Same watch. Twice the battery. The watch was never dying. It was just running a marathon with every feature Apple could strap to its back.

  Because Phone Broke and I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself on Google Laptop without @Apple @Walmart phone working, I was in N. Carolina driving north on i-95 alone, figuring out troubleshooting THAT my phone was broken and HOW it was BROKEN, but not BEFORE @Apple locked me out for perpetuity to not ever prove I was human until I entered an APPLE STORE for 3 hours of GREAT customer service in Bridgewater, New Jersey I could NOT call DOCTORS (chronic pain patient, stage 2b breast cancer survivor living with peripheral neuropathy, post-mastectomy pain syndrome, osteopenia, arthritic pain, IBS, to name a few...), I could NO ACCESS access PHARMACY (during mudbutt, as cancer survivor, finding Tick after walk w dogs next to Motel6 gross!), I could NO make a RESERVATION for a hotel down the road, I couldn't contact FAMILY for 48+ hours (until I literally drove up to their house troubleshooting New Jersey JUGHANDLES from suppressed memories?!?) I couldn't AUTHENTICATE Myself for small biz account for while I don't have a backup manager... I had no GPS, but I happen to be smart enough to travel half way across the country without picking up a map or a phone. ONE Lucky strike.

  You'll make WAY more money if you stop trusting something because it makes sense IN THEORY Getting plenty of comments sounds great IN THEORY, but 99% of them are almost always tirekickers and don't indicate potential buyers Selling at top of funnel after using spray and pray content sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize top of funnel content is outside a funnel so its guaranteed to attract mainly people who would never pay you Shipping new product updates publicly sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize other people with more experience can now clone your offer in 1 hour and market it better (you are also just procrastinating instead of making money) Giving up after 20 DM/Cold Emails sounds great IN THEORY, until you learn statistically you will make no money unless you send 650-1000 Doing lifestyle marketing with Ferrari's and Penthouses and Private Jets sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize that just makes you look like a moron Making your entire goal retiring your parents sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize not everyone has poor third world country parents Hiring early sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you have no idea how to write an SOP, and nobody will ever be as good as you at your job in the early stages Depending the Apple Store to make software sales sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you are now dependent on a system that can remove you whenever they want for whatever reason (and you still have zero idea how to drive traffic yourself, make sales yourself, or build a customer acquisition system yourself) Earning all your income from YouTube views sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize there's a 21 year old selling ebooks on Instagram borrowing traffic who's lapping you in profit every month (and unlike you if he loses a YouTube channel he doesn't lose all his income) Building a landing page using a framer template/lovable sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you maximized aesthetics and destroyed your conversion rate (because you have zero idea how to write actual copy and now your site looks like a clone of every other landing page) Spending $200k on a ******* dance theory degree sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you just blew $200k you could have spent 5% of that on a mentor and hit $30k/mo in just 1 year Posting "Insane Value" on the timeline sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize you are sophisticating the market and years from now you're going to see all the sh#t you charged thousands of dollars for are now common sense and available everywhere for free Reading 100 Books every year sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize most of the OG books teach the same fundamentals, and you could easily have absorbed all their most important lessons using Notebooklm over night instead of spending 365 days reading platitude drivel and irrelevant personal stories they put in between the actual value inside the book Being afraid to pay for high quality help sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize the broke guy who saved up the $600-$5k and invested in a good mentor is now making $30k/mo, and you're still under $2k/mo despite starting at the same time Posting mainly platitude drivel every single day to drive impressions toward your middle of funnel sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize everyone now thinks you're ret#rded because you don't seem to have an original thought about anything whatsoever (stop trying to be Kieran Drew, Dan Koe, or Justin Welsh) Not following your mentor's instructions sounds great IN THEORY, until you realize the only reason you're doubting yourself is because you don't have his/her experience, and because they already went through that self doubt and figured it out anyway, you not listening to them is the only reason you are not making money We solve every single one of these problems and bottlenecks in DPU btw (no audience required) Godspeed, Ian
