Yes. https://hey.paris/posts/appleid/
That was already posted and it was not a legitimate gift card.
Yes it was. He purchased it from a legitimate reseller 100% legally and correctly.

#262The macOS login screen is broken since basically forever. Opening a macbook lid and choosing another user than the one already selected is a PITA. I can't even remember it working. And I have the issue on 3 macbooks.

On the same note, airdrop doesn’t work when multiple users are logged in. It’s rocket science to switch airdrop advertisements to currently active user, I guess..

Choosing another user on the current macOS is horrible beyond any corporate standards. Clicking a different user has a 2 second delay without any animation, and any interaction ("wait, have I clicked it?") in that time cancels it. Like no one has multiple users on their computers in the whole management chain? No one cares?

#265The page should focus on the bugs, since there's no shortage of them. But clicking on "Change payment method" to change payment method is not a bug, is just bad UI.

#267It's really staggering how much impact one engineer can have when working on a product used by billions of people. Fixing just one of these issues would instantly be the most valuable thing that person ever does in their life by orders of magnitude. We have incredible leverage in the software world.
You'd be surprised how many Apple engineers are fixing many bugs, of this caliber, on a semi-regular basis. That "Human Hours Wasted" is not just sitting there because engineers don't care about it, it's because there are many many other opportunities to save similar amounts of time. Crashes waste time, perf bugs waste time -- and security bugs are much worse.
I actually think most security bugs have very low impact unfortunately

>was already redeemed in some way This is the important quote showing that the gift card was not legitimate.
do you think that makes it ok? they walked into a store, tried to pay money to apple and as a result they had their stuff locked forever apple recommended they only buy gift cards from apple, but they still sell them in stores... obviously money is more important to them than the consumers but pretending apple have zero responsibility is silly
>they had their stuff locked forever
It was locked for less than a week.
>but they still sell them in stores
Unfortunately there are sketchy resellers that exist too.

#270Text selection peaked with Force Touch, where holding the space button, moving to start point, pressing down even harder to start selection en lifting finger at the end was sooo ergonomic.
I still miss 3D Touch. For me, iPhone XS was the peak iPhone.
Yeah, me too, that form factor was perfection. So pretty, so nice to hold!
