  • What's a trend people outside of your field / hobby are probably unaware of?

  • Not sure if this is everywhere but I’ve been a software developer for two years almost and I was shocked that when some presses delete on anything we just toggle Archived to true. All hooks that get data exclude archived by default but we can pass a flag to get those too.

  • Apple don’t deliver their own parcels, at least in the UK, so that’s all on the courier. I was more referring to buying on contract from carriers anyway as this is also how they’re delivered and it’s the delivery companies that give drivers like 30 seconds per drop because they make more money delivering more parcels so it’s likely cheaper.

  • I never said they were. I’m saying I’m all for fraud and stealing from stores but not off someone’s porch or house.

  • I think at lot has to do with the company. Like Amazon don’t care as they make so much it’s just not worth waiting around for PINs or signatures as it’ll cost them more than lost stock. Plus they probably have some insurance.

  • I’m not adverse to stealing, just never off people that worked to earn it.

  • Is it just me or do all search engines feel soooo bad these days?

  • Enjoy your war against ads then. I’m not against supporting content, I just wanted a better model than invasive ads.

  • Well the thieves should be stealing from corporations and not peoples houses. That’s something I can get behind.

    Not bricking these devices will just mean that more people do it.

  • In the UK you’re not getting a phone delivered to your house and left without providing a pin to the delivery driver.

    I’m all for leaving low value items outside but phones and stuff, come on people.

    You can use the Orion browser on iOS and set Kagi as the search engine.

    TIL the average American is dumber than the average human

    Jump

  • Well I would say IQ tests don’t equate to actual intelligence. I also take issue with the adjective dumber.

    OP could have worded it better, something like:

    Americans score lower than average on IQ tests. USA: 98 VS Global: 100.

  • Apple couldn’t tell fake iPhones from real ones, lost $2.5M to scammers

    Jump

  • I used to work for Apple and before I joined the Genius Bar I was working the avenues (what they call the sides where they keep accessories) and because I’ve been known to pull a few scams myself (companies, never people) I have an eye for something out of the ordinary.

    So I saw a lady bring in an iPhone and receipt to change it for the same phone in a different colour. Not that odd mind but I did notice it.

    A few days later I see the same lady do this again with another employee and now I am thinking something is definitely off.

    The next time she comes in I make sure I approach and ask them if they need help, again they ask to swap for a different colour.

    I then say sure we can help with that and as is procedure we would confirm the Serial Number matches that on the receipt, we didn’t have access to the tools that read this from the hardware as we would on the GB, so we would power on the device and press the little “i” to view and compare. It’s a match, but still this isn’t legit obviously.

    At this point, not that I’m protecting Apple here I wanted to work GB and this would get me on their radar, plus I was the shit at faking extroversion and giving outstanding service as I was depressed and I found being overly nice and energetic made me happier I would leave work on cloud 9 and then crash. I take the phone to the GB host (dude who checks people in) and say something is off here and explain all of the above. They send me to the repair room 🥰 never been in before and I was excited.

    Once inside I explain to the tech guys that’s up and they’re like yeah that’s odd. They say to tell her that we need to do a few more checks and to come back in 30 minutes. Basically we were going by to open the phone and verify it’s innards. As well as using the serial number reader tool (forget the name now) to verify all is legit.

    Go back to the lady and explain this, she’s flustered but agrees as she can’t not. Take the phone and box and drop it in the GB repair room. When I come back out I can see the lady is on the phone in an irate conversation with someone. A few minutes later she says she’s changed her mind and wants the phone back.

    Go get her her phone and am instructed to write on the receipt to do a check before returning (again I forget the terminology) so that if she went to another store they’d now go open this phone up.

    She’s pissed at this and leaves with her phone and receipt unhappy.

    A while later I recall seeing a bust of a gang of folk from a certain country (the same this lady appeared to be from) for returning iPhones that either had fake innards or were not the phone in question.

    As a scammer in the past it hurt to stop someone doing the same but this was my patch and I wanted to make a good impression. Which I did as I moved to the GB for 3 years which changed my life. They offered so much encouragement and you’re surrounded by talented people that I up-skilled and I’m now a software developer (not for Apple).

    I don’t know what it’s like working there in the USA, but in England it was amazing. They paid more than any other retail store, stock was given every year, you could buy it too at a discount, you were trusted and not micromanaged, the benefits were outstanding and led me to my ADHD diagnosis with healthcare (as sadly mental health support on the NHS is underfunded).

  • Yeah I’m not American but it’s particularly egregious (shocking for you Americans 😉) as it states that the score for the USA was 98 and the global average was 100.

    So OP is an ass for that title imo.

  • What's going on today that you wish you could have a little help with?

    Jump

  • Only 18 months.

    So my company is less ticket based and more here’s a spec for the whole application go ahead and build it kind of thing. My boss is amazing but he keeps a lot in his head and when I ask for help he doesn’t explain it in way that makes me understand or feel more confident. These issues do pass and they’re never as bad as I make them seem in my head at the time. Then we get emails from clients which we just action as and when. You’re right about it not just being about coding, as a lot of time is in client meetings, email writing and stuff like that.

    I don’t know if glad is the right word for you having imposter syndrome, but I’m kinda relieved so many people say they experienced it too.

    Yeah I’m an enigma as I’m incredibly socially adept at times, but then others I’m a fucking idiot. Especially, if I think people are overreacting as I’ll then try all the wrong things to get them to calm down. It was just strange that they were screaming and talking to me like shit and the second I’m like fuck this mate they wanna get physical, I’m not adverse to physical altercations but not over something so trivial (in my mind). Perhaps I should watch the way I say things.
