Buttfield-Addison, author of several books on Swift, found his Apple account closed after he attempted to pay for his iCloud subscription using an Apple gift card. Buttfield-Addison contacted the retailer, an unnamed "major brick-and-mortar retailer," which reissued the code after suggesting it may have been compromised. Shortly after that, he was locked out of his account.The Apple developer said that he's been signed out of iMessage, can't access his iCloud account, is unable to access terabytes' worth of family photos stored on Apple servers, and has basically been blackballed from the Apple ecosystem. "My iPhone, iPad, Watch, and Macs cannot sync, update, or function properly," Buttfield-Addison said. "I have lost access to thousands of dollars in purchased software and media." Apple support staff reportedly refused to to tell him why his account was banned and said that escalating the matter "won't lead to a different outcome." Even if Apple manages to resolve the issue, Buttfield-Addison isn't sure he's going to take another chance on iBiz after this kerfuffle. "I will leave as fast as I can even if this is fixed," he told us. "I do mean that literally." He told us he's looking at switching to Linux for his laptops and an Android device for his future smartphone. It'll be hard, Buttfield-Addison noted, but he doesn't feel Apple has left him with much recourse. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

I doubt there's anything I can figure out that is so cutting-edge but I do wonder if they would accept something a little more grounded but based in there being an actual need for a product for small/poor units that's easy to use, easy to integrate, and is designed by someone who has been on the ground (or rather, on the water) to know why operators fucking loathe our competitors' offerings. But most likely, I'm barking up the wrong tree and just having fun fantasizing about anything being easy for once.
humiliation ritual
I've got a final interview for a security position with a fortune 500 company tomorrow. It's only scheduled for 30 minutes so am I wrong in assuming that it's mainly going to be a culture fit screening? I'm still reviewing some technical stuff but with that time limit I can't imagine covering too many situations.
3 interviews this week, might have a 4th incoming…So done with this but I need to get through it don’t want to be a cuck that just takes the first offer without even exploring all my options

Apple blocks dev from all accounts after he tries to redeem bad gift card>Apple has blocked a long-time developer from his Apple ID after he failed to redeem what support suggested was a dodgy $500 gift card, leaving him unable to work, cut off from personal files, and barred from what he calls his "core digital identity." >This isn't just any developer, either: The unlucky Apple aficionado in this case is Dr. Paris Buttfield-Addison, a Tasmania-based computer scientist who co-founded an award-winning game development company and has written multiple books on developing for Objective-C, the Swift programming language, and iOS.>"I have effectively been an evangelist for this company's technology for my entire professional life," Buttfield-Addison said in a blog post detailing his struggle with Apple's account system. >According to Buttfield-Addison, his account was flagged as "closed in accordance with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions" recently.
