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.

… 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 =)
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.
