Chidanand Tripathi (@thetripathi58) reportedThe Ultimate Takeaway: Taking Back Your Phone She walked out of the Apple Store at 2:45 PM. Her wallet was exactly as full as when she walked in. Her battery was at 82%. And for the first time in six months, she didn't feel a knot in her stomach about finding a wall plug. The Situation: We almost always blame the physical battery. We think our phones are just getting old, or broken, or that we simply use them too much. We accept living in a constant state of low-battery anxiety, carrying heavy power banks and tangled white cables everywhere we go like we are carrying life support. The System Reality: When you take a brand new smartphone out of the box, it is not actually set up to serve you. It is set up by default to serve app developers, advertisers, and the parent company. It is set up to constantly pull data, refresh feeds, track your location, and report back to base. The Technical Drain: Think about it: you are spending over a thousand dollars on a device, but out of the box, that device is working a full-time, 24/7 shadow job behind your back. It is burning through its own life span and your battery percentage to do things you never even asked it to do. The Fix: Take 12 minutes today to walk through these settings. Turn off the background noise. Shut down the silent trackers. Put up boundaries. Tell your apps they are only allowed to work when you physically tap on them and ask them to work. The Result: Two weeks later, the woman went to bed at 11:00 PM. She placed her phone on her nightstand to charge for the night. The screen lit up: 34%. This is not just about saving your battery life. It is about taking back ownership of your device. It is about getting a clear peace of mind and making sure you own your phone, instead of letting your phone own you.

Samuel Adekunle (@techwithsam_) reportedHello @ads, I think there is a problem with adding my app on the Ads platform. I keep getting this error but the id is available on both Google and Apple Store. Although, I tried another Package name and it worked but for this particular app, it's throwing error. What could be the reason.

Jesse Jr Lim (林振燊) (@Jessejrlim) reported@alphaque Apple store??dafuq should be getting him his own server rack

Omnicris (@Omnicris) reportedYeah, it could, but it won't. People steal things that are locked down all the time. I mean, even the Apple Store display models get stolen all the time, and those have a special version of iOS that runs on them, so you can't do anything with them anyway; they're paperweights. My concern is the ability for Apple, or any tech company for that matter, to be able to remotely disable a device, whether you are a criminal or not.

Setlhomo Raymond Tshwanelang🕵🏾 (@StizzyWizzyRay) reportedAnyone 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.

Dawson Gibbs (@dawsbg) reportedThe biggest challenge for all consumer apps is acquiring users at the lowest cost. Sweatcoin was having the same issue before it exploded with new users. It was able to acquire users with traditional paid ads, but its CPI would always remain high. Sweatcoin's growth stayed linear until it decided to try a new strategy. And that strategy was mass UGC marketing. Sweatcoin partnered with creators and created organic feeling content. High volume testing of viral hooks and formats. It took these winning viral pieces of content and turned them into Spark Ads. UGC powered paid media. Sweatcoin never had to burn ad spend by guessing on creatives when the creatives were already proven to convert and get engagement. Sweatcoin 10x'd it's ROAS using this viral content made by creators. Hiring tons of creators and ad spend sounds costly, but in reality, Sweatcoin was able to lower its CPI by 53%. In fact, on Apple Store Sweatcoin had the lowest CPI possible. 60 million users acquired. And it all started with one shift in thinking. Mass UGC + UGC powered paid media = 📈 🚀 user acquisition Stop guessing on creatives. Let the market tell you what works. Then put money behind what's already proven. Organic tests it. Paid scales it. Simple as that.

John Drouin (@John_Drew65) reported@ramcharger22 My wife and were having security issues that might’ve involved her phone. Went to the Apple Store & they checked it out, no problem. Also told us that there is no real difference between a 13 - 17. If it’s working fine no need to change.

⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ (@blublairies) reportedSo it turns out my phone charging problem is actually the charger itself, which is also my laptop charger, and then confounding factor that my car charger is also a bit dodgy in its own way bahaha so… I begrudgingly have to go to the Apple Store and buy a new one.

0xSuhar (@suhar_ceo) reportedok so I just saw the most unhinged tech setup and I need to talk about it someone stacked like 50+ Mac Minis on a shelf. yellow shelf. looks like a construction site met an Apple Store. and honestly?? this is lowkey genius and I'm mad nobody told me sooner because here's the ***** secret — the M-series Mac Mini might be the best value compute unit on the market right now. per watt, per dollar, per cubic inch of space. it destroys traditional server hardware in efficiency. it just doesn't LOOK like serious infrastructure so people dismiss it but some guy in a random office somewhere said you know what, I don't need a $400k rack from Dell. I need 60 of these bad boys, some ethernet, and a dream. and now he has a build/test pipeline that probably runs faster than your company's entire cloud setup no loud fans. no special power requirements. no "enterprise support contract" where someone charges you $800 to restart a service. just apples. wall to wall apples. the chair sitting lonely in the corner of the shot is sending me. someone WORKS there. they just sit next to the apple army every day and think nothing of it we are not the same #ai #macmini #macmini4

Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer) reportedI think it's way deeper than cost efficiency. Several Apple employees have talked to me over the years about "Apple scale." If you go and sit in an Apple Store and watch people taking a class, there are many Apple customers who are still learning how to use the camera on their phone. When they roll new technology into the Apple platform, it has to work for everybody, not just the nerds. I think that's mostly what he's saying: this technology is still too hard to use and too freaky for normal everyday people, and it brings new service problems to Apple. There is a cost efficiency part to it, of course, but it's really about making products that work at Apple scale. And how many users does that involve? Billions, right?

Bernadette Turkenburg (@BJMTurkenburg) reportedShe is so distracted,******* bored actually.

Public fights are normal,nowadays.Weird.

Pooja (@poojaofficial5) reportedMy friend's iPhone 13 suddenly started malfunctioning At first, she thought the battery was simply draining too fast. But after a few days, it became clear that the problem was much more serious. The battery had started swelling, and the phone's body was beginning to bulge from the inside. The biggest surprise ? "The phone was completely out of warranty." No AppleCare. No extended coverage. Both of us assumed that replacing the battery would cost thousands of rupees. But what happened at the Apple Store in DLF Mall, Noida completely surprised us. The staff inspected the device and explained that a swollen battery is considered a safety hazard. A little later, they informed us that the battery would be replaced FREE of charge. We thought it might be some special discount or adjustment, but when the bill arrived, it showed "₹0.00" At a time when many companies shift the entire cost to customers once the warranty expires, receiving a free battery replacement for an out of warranty phone was genuinely unexpected. This experience taught us an important lesson If your phone's battery is swelling, the screen is lifting, or the body of the phone is starting to separate, don't ignore it. It's not just a device issue it can also be a serious safety risk. Sometimes, a company's true reputation isn't built through advertisements, but through the way it helps customers when they face unexpected problems. Have you ever received a service that exceeded your expectations ? Share your experience in the comments.

ankuy (@ankuy) reported@UTDAhmard @Suzzy0310 I disagree, my 16 pro max last me for a whole day, also my second phone, 15 pro battery is excellent too, don’t buy gadget from computer village, enter the Apple Store in ikeja and get your gadgets you’ll have zero issue, 90% of phones in computer village are refurbished

Mehwish kiran (@mehwishkiran07) reportedThe uncomfortable truth: Apple's business model rewards storage anxiety. The more often customers see "Storage Almost Full," the more likely they are to: 1. Pay for iCloud subscriptions 2. Upgrade to higher-storage models 3. Buy a new iPhone entirely Every default setting on a new iPhone trends in the direction of consuming more storage, not less. The 7 fixes above take 10 minutes total. They cost nothing. They will recover an average of 40-60 GB on most iPhones over 12 months old. The Apple Store employee said one more thing before he left: "We see this every day. Most people don't even check Settings → General → iPhone Storage before they walk in. They just assume the phone is too small for them. It almost never is." RT this so more iPhone users stop spending $1,000 on a storage problem that could be solved with 7 toggles.

Ashok Shetty (@savidhyashok) reported@poonamjourno @AppleSupport @Apple In the cost they will quote you may get a Good Brand Tab any day. I had approached the Apple store with Macbook issue of key pad numerical numbers key not working And they quoted Rs 30,000/-

Rifat Ahmed (@Rifat_EE) reportedA Virtual card saves you from 30-50% tax in each payment.. (Yearly upto 1k$ save!!!) Here is the full view :: I've tried to buy @claudeai's max 20x plan that is for 200$ In my Android app it shows 33.75k BDT= 275$~ Reason : Gpay is legal in my country,so the govt + google play store are taking this 30%~ together In my Iphone is shows 999 AED= 271$~ Reason : Apple store taking 30% tax as per their rules, Moreover Apple Pay is not legal into my country yet, so i use UAE apple id where tax is only 5% for this, If my country govt legal this, they will surely take more 15% like gpay! So it will add more 30$+ when it become legal... At Claude website from any device it shows 200$+ Tax Here tax means it depends on which Countries Visacard you are using to pay! As virtual cards are not registered into any countries bank & as the diposite in card can be done via crypto We are safe from the Tax & etc etc issue Means fixed 200$ i have to give & a single penny wont be waste into Google pay or Apple pay or govt. Tax~ So,, use any trusted company's virtual card & Purchase from website,, Congrates , You are saving 30-50% in every usage...

el. #BRINGBACKVALKO (@ellinightss) reported@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

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.
