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.
That’s what I keep telling myself.
I’ll sort out my backup system, tomorrow.
And tomorrow never comes.
[Genuinely did tell myself that last night… this morning…: [2025-12-16 02:40:20] <Digit> rts do backups script… for tmro’s early hard thing. just make a start. it can grow later. rsync to BOTH bb6/bkps/ and ovhtoo:/home/digit/bkps/.]
Spent the productive part of the day writing more precious things, inadequately backed up.
[Edit: But, at least it’s of my own choosing. Not a corporation doing it to me, with future-faking promises to be faithful to my needs, and so on.]
