An Apple fan who has spent “nearly 30 years as a loyal customer” says they’ve been “permanently” locked out of their Apple Account due to what might be the overzealous actions of Apple’s automated anti-fraud system. It’s left them locked out of “20 years of digital life,” and it all started with the seemingly straightforward purchase of an Apple gift card.
Why isn’t this posted in Leopards Ate My Face?
… this person… trusted… all their files… on someone else’s computer?
… they… trusted a giant… tech corporation… to… care about them?
How is this person a developer?
Normally I’d say “clearly this person has never worked in software developement”… but apparently they have, and are just very naive?
… Maybe he just somehow never once spoke with someone who worked with databases … ???
I think you’re forgetting that 90% of developers are barely competent at best.
If this upsets the reader and reader’s a dev, remember I’m talking about the other people not you =)
Yus.
I develop software.
I was not upset at that.
I know I’m in the 10%.
Not even barely competent.
Hey I mean, honest self-awareness is far more respectable and admirable than blustering bullshit overconfidence and over inflated ego.
Heh. :)
That reply works there, whether getting what I said or not. :D
Nicely done. :)
He also says that he has backups, so “lost” seems a little apocalyptic. Hard to feel too bad for someone who is that invested in a corporation though.
