NeilT (@Exogynous) reported@jwblackwell Anyone with any sense has now switched off system updates on their mobile. This will cause significant issues with viruses. Also it could totally tank the new phone market as people realise they are buying crippled phones. Meanwhile direct sales of China phones without crippleware will be rife. Samsung, Google and Apple will be badly damaged. It might even see the advent of Harmony OS taking off where it has been restricted for so long. If having access to the Google or Apple store means the government controlling your life, a whole generation of users will abandon the status quo.

Asher Crowe 🪺 (@ashercrw) reportedA 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.

JoshWorksAI (@JoshPrompts) reportedWho do really rich people go to for their tech issues? Like, say I'm a billionaire, and I have a problem with my Photos application. Surely I just don't go to the Apple Store...? Do I?

mkb (@mkbraudaway) reported@FloreFlos Smart move. I had an issue w/cell service. Went to get it resolved & the employee literally referred me to the Apple Store to fix an issue THEY created. 🤯I went back on a diff day & told the manager. Said I was in cust serv for a very long time & I was mortified. He was too.

cupcakekitty (@cupcakekitty09.bsky.social) (@cupcakekitty09) reportedI was chatting with an elderly friend recently. She said her husband locked his iPhone in error. They went to the Apple store. They couldn’t unlock it. Rather than wipe it, start over, they insisted on selling him a new phone. @Apple

Chuck Finley (@PLL_commish) reported@kingkrabbyp The @MeekPhill_ hate is warranted, the guy is a 32 year old virgin that is living at home and can’t go down 3 blocks to the Apple Store with out a phone

Terence O’Neill (@TerenceONeill12) reported@WigglyAir can’t even go into the Apple Store without the Apple employee questioning why I’m still using Apple if I have so many problems with Apple and had to sue them in court and win because of their faulty designs…… I sent him back to his manager and told him never to speak to me aga

NivasKannan (@Nivaskannan) reported@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)

TheMediaLies🇺🇸 (@OzzyKona) reported@Verizon this is terrible. I buy a new iPad and need to go to store to activate the cellular. It is a half hour wait, is this the geriatric Apple Store. These guys working are old and slow.

Metal (@MetalXMeta) reported@TinyMetaX @Apple Ohhh that is a ****** PROBLEM Find an Apple Store asap and bring it to their attention

白知白（科技与生活） (@qiqi_caijeff) reported@ShishirShelke1 The Apple Store in Taiwan looking like a giant MacBook from above is exactly the kind of detail-first design Apple is known for. Most companies would slap a logo on a box. Apple treats every retail touchpoint as a product design problem. This level of commitment to the brand experience is why Apple's retail stores generate more revenue per square foot than any other retailer in the world.

Doughmination Gaming (@DoughminCEO) reported@Apple @AppleSupport If Apple sees this, yes, these are official Apple AirPods, brought from the online Apple Store. I have issues with them, but the Apple Support app is saying I can't get help with them?

Ms. Humble Diva (@humble_diva81) reported@jolissaxo_ I cried bc after my dad died all I had were his voicemails. Went to the apple store bc I had an issue with my phone , the worker reset my phone without asking me. The way I bawled in that store! I would've kept my phone broken to never lose those. This one had me in my feelings!

ThatMedChidi👩🏽⚕️🩺💓 (@chidi_jenny) reportedWent to @Apple store in Arndale to diagnose/fix my screen that’s been going dark & they told me the screen & battery were done for & it’ll cost like 600 quid to fix; advised me to get a new one instead 😩. In the meantime I’ll just keep connecting it to my TV w/ HDMI 😩😭😭😭.
-
Nojme (@NojmeArt) reported@Smear_Sys @SThrober The issue is the length of the game. 2 hours for a game is a very low bar to hit. Even youtuber slop games like banban figured out how to hit the time limit. If your game is essentially a mobile game like flappy bird steam isn't the place for it, put it on apple store

Alvin (@Alvin1492840) reportedHis Apple Watch battery health was 81% after wearing it for only 10 months. He charged it on his nightstand every night. Left it on the charger until morning. Used Always-On Display all day. Kept cellular turned on even when his iPhone was in his pocket. Ran GPS workouts 5 times a week without closing the session properly. He did everything most Apple Watch owners do. That was the problem. His friend, a former Apple Store technician, looked at his Battery Health screen and said one sentence: "You've been draining this thing twice as fast as it should drain. Apple built 2 features into watchOS that slow the damage to almost zero and you've never turned either one on." She toggled 2 settings. Changed one charging habit. Turned off one feature he didn't know was running. 4 months later his battery health hasn't dropped a single percent. It's been sitting at 81% since. Here's everything she changed 🧵

giosaia (@giosaia) reportedStill struggling. I need to create releases for 3 apps on the Apple Store, fix releases on Google Play, fix the web hook for RankGoat to create posts for my business, integrate the eBay API for inventory management in CAUN, test CoinTrade, finish the TubeBinder MVP, and make 1.5B. When will I get it done if I do nothing?

Evan (@evan_thayer) reported@AlgoSnafu the cord on the first is definitely wrong in a few ways. I gave the details in another reply. There is a bigger issue with the table, tho. And you nailed the scrape on the panel, but there is a crazier issue there, too. And alignments - so important in the apple store.

Manol T. (@manol_ai) reportedI make ios apps and I don't have an IPhone Neither mac. This is how I do it: - made the app over @expo with claude code - set up my github actions (ci cd) to create android (adb) and ios builds (ipa) - they go directly to the internal testing track for android dev console and testfight in apple store connect - I rent a @MacinCloud for $30 to run ios emulator and make sure the app works for emulator - invited 2 friends to testflight - they report me bugs and I fix it I am stubborn enough not to buy an iPhone but spend money on ads. What are your app building challenges? #buildinpublic #mobileapps #testflight
