iPhone XS. They (the Apple Store) said “for insurance reasons” they couldn’t continue trying to put the phone together because they might break another screen.

I’ve posted this before, but I took a phone in for a battery replacement. Pretty routine. They took forever and finally came back to me and said “we can’t replace your battery because we broke two screens trying to put it back together.” Listen motherfuckers, you had one job, it’s all you do all day, and you somehow had Slippy McThumbs as the technician? They then handed me a nonfunctional phone and, dead serious, asked for a good time for a call with tech support to get my phone replaced. Then took a $1000 deposit on a phone with a trade value of maybe $300 until they got the broken one. Three-ring shit show.

Unironically enjoyed mine. Sure it was a barren app store and support got dropped quick, but it was a neat little device.

The Apple Store will use Lyft for same-day. I had a laptop charger die on me and wasn’t in any position to drive out for a new one. It was sketchy to say the least.

An em dash — when used properly — is perfectly fine, but a little academic. iOS will do one automatically with two hyphens and a space.

I’ve never had a two months delay, but government offices are typically understanding about getting something at or a little past the due date because everyone knows the mail sucks.

It was ok at the time IIRC. Took some finagling and ultimately MacOS updates broke it (needed to pay to upgrade). I honestly don’t know what it’s like today though.
- Comment on VPN firm says it didn’t know customers had lifetime subscriptions, cancels them 1 month ago:
I had one, actually, by accident. It was part of a software bundle in 2019 for $30 and I mostly got it for a version of CrossOver. Honestly never used the VPN since there were better options available.
