Apple store hours

Big T claimed today that Ice Cream is mid. I kinda of agree, but have a more detailed explanation.
First and foremost Ice Cream is delicious, but...
It is so widely available that it isn't special. You can pick from so many options at any grocery store, drug store or bodega.
It is a frozen product it doesn't really matter if you get it at a supermarker or at an ice cream parlour or restaurant. If you get cheesecake or apple pie from the freezer isle, it usually stinks compared to a proper bakery.
If you order Ice Cream at a desert at a restaurant that has other desserts you are a child and/or a psychopath.

I don't know if other stores are like ours where we used to do data transfers for free, regardless of how long they took, and especially if they purchased their phone from us. Now we are told to charge $40 per data transfer, and while this has saved us some time with activations, (b/c most decline) I hated charging someone when Apple to Apple and Samsung to Samsung are so damn easy.
After all the firings, I'm more inclined to just do them for free out of spite.
I'm curious how other people feel. Not just about data transfers, but working harder to help Corie's bottom line.
Oh, and I'm also the only mobile employee most nights. Mobile, connected home, headphones, BT speakers, and even movies. We often have 3-5 buying parties at any given time while I'm activating one person's phone or assisting folks with home security options....

The recent Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) left crypto enthusiasts eagerly anticipating news of potential crypto integrations and partnerships. While the conference did not explicitly mention any updates related to the crypto market, speculations continue to circulate regarding a possible collaboration between Apple and OTOY Inc., the company behind Render network and Octane X. Let's dive into the details:
Render Network and Octane X: During the Apple keynote event, a feature called Octane X was highlighted. Octane X is a GPU rendering feature available on the Mac App Store. This feature is directly related to the Render (RNDR) token, as OTOY Inc. is the company behind both Octane X and Render Network. Jules Urbach, the CEO of OTOY, founded Render Token in 2016 to provide decentralized GPU-based rendering solutions. Given this connection, speculation has arisen about a potential partnership between Apple and Octane X in the near future.
Apple's Vision Pro Headset and Render Network Integration: Many had anticipated that Apple's augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) product, the Vision Pro headset, would leverage the functionality of the Render network for GPU rendering. However, no partnerships or integration announcements were made during the WWDC conference. Despite this, the possibility of future collaborations between Apple and Render Network remains intriguing.
Crypto Integration and Widespread Expectations: The crypto market has seen the rise of artificial intelligence (AI)-based crypto tokens like Render and SingularityNET, which have gained popularity in recent times. However, while AI chatbots and other products are yet to integrate crypto payments, there were hopes that the 2023 Apple WWDC conference would pave the way for crypto integration, particularly with the launch of the Vision Pro headset.
Partnership Potential and Ongoing Speculations: Although no concrete details were revealed during the WWDC conference, Apple's favorable position for a partnership with OTOY Inc., the company behind the Render network, has not gone unnoticed. The connections between Octane X, Render Network, and OTOY Inc. have fueled speculation about a potential collaboration between Apple and Octane X. While these remain speculations at this point, the crypto community eagerly awaits further developments in the decentralized GPU rendering space.
As the crypto market continues to evolve, partnerships and integrations with major players like Apple hold significant potential for driving innovation and adoption. Stay tuned for more updates on potential crypto partnerships and the exciting world of decentralized GPU rendering!

Like others, I'd like to repay valuable advice and info gleaned from this sub. Unlike many on Reddit, we're getting up in years (M 73, F 70). That didn't keep us from doing just about anything younger people might do. You might consider passing this report along to your parents or other older folks who might be hesitant about taking an independent trip to Japan.
Here are a few highlights before getting to more detailed info in Part Two.
Biggest surprises: The quiet. We never had a noisy hotel experience. People on subways and trains are famously silent and when a car honked near us in Kamakura, a tourist town south of Tokyo, it was a shock. The pace of change. For a country renowned for cutting-edge technology, it still clings to some traditional ways. That goes for more modern habits, like masking (still around 90% in Tokyo subways on our last day), and the bottles of hand sanitizer in every shop doorway, restaurant and other public places. Cash isn't king but we definitely needed it, even in Tokyo. Fortunately, getting it was extremely easy. Food was even better than advertised. We're not extreme foodies but we like a good meal; we never had a bad one in four weeks. The famously efficient transit system was even easier and better than imagined. Taking luggage on subways and trains was never a problem (though we were careful to avoid the worst of rush hour). We took fewer taxis than expected, though when we did they were lifesavers.
Especially for Geezers: Our main concession to age was avoiding late nights out.
We're in reasonably good health, though one of us has minor knee issues. Escalators and elevators eased our way, occasionally, in public transit, but there was no getting around the ubiquitous stairs. We logged up to 6-to-8 mile (or more) walking days, sometimes going non-stop from morning 'til evening.
Two pair of comfortable shoes are a good idea, though advice about wearing slip-ons or shoes that don't require tying the laces is perhaps overdone. I wore my regular Nike jogging shoes and my partner chose On (for the elastic laces).
Before leaving home, we took long walks. Don't forget to go up and down as many stairs as you can find.
If you do your homework, you can find your way around on your own. The awesome power of the smartphone and the proliferation of signs in English or Romaji, especially in cities, has vastly eased Japan travel for us gringos (and other gaijin).
Here's one tip I haven't seen here: Arguably the best of the old Japan guidebooks in English, "Gateway to Japan" (last published in the 1990s), is now available in a digital edition. I downloaded it (for $10US) to the (free) Kindle app on my smartphone and my iPad. It has all the usual guidebook stuff, including good, historical info and smart ratings on places to see, plus walking tours and shopping and eating advice. It has embedded links to Google Maps that ease navigation. But please note: it isn't updated as frequently as other sources, so be sure to double-check with Japan Guide (or other online sites) on opening times, fees, etc.
One other pre-trip tip: If you're like me, you may be resistant to absorbing often mind-numbing background on the history, culture and traditions of another country. Shogun, the 1986 bestselling novel by James Clavell (later a motion picture), is an easy way to fix that problem for Japan. Get a library copy or cheap used paperback online. It's very long, but a page turner. And except for a plot device or two, it's a remarkably accurate portrayal of a key turning point in Japan's development. If you take the time to read it--and you should--you'll be surprised to discover when you get to Japan that you have a useful understanding of the people and society of today's Japan.
Trip prep: We're fairly experienced international travelers, less so in Asia. I spent six months in the pre-trip phase--which paid dividends in cheaper hotel rooms and tickets to hard-to-get attractions.
I did minimal language prep (about 10 half-hour lessons of Pimsleur's basic Japanese, borrowed from the library) and wish I'd done more. But even that paid massive rewards. Don't be an Ugly American; learn and use the basic courtesy words and phrases frequently mentioned on this site. It's easy and goes a long, long way. My favorite party trick was Gochisōsamadeshita ("thank you for the meal"), which never failed to elicit a polite response--sometimes a giggle--from restaurant staff.
I'd also underscore three vital tips often found here: Keep your voice down, walk on the left and don't blow your nose in public.
To narrow our options, I browsed many recent, general guidebooks (from the library) and online sites like Japan Guide and this one. I used Google Docs to compile itinerary and background info (the main itinerary document was about 25 pages long). During the trip, Japan Guide was our go-to reference for up-to-date info and links to individual attractions.
What we brought or bought: A sling bag and auxiliary smartphone battery (Anker MagGo for iPhone). I usually ran out of juice on my phone by midday, so the extra battery was a godsend. A stack of old-fashioned cotton handkerchiefs came in handy, since paper products like tissues are quite thin. We bought tiny folding umbrellas at Family Mart and stashed them in our sling bags on rainy days, along with a plastic bag to protect them when wet; they never failed us.
What we brought or bought and didn't need: Yes, it's hard to find places to toss your trash (heed the warnings on this sub) but advice about bringing plastic bags with you seems unnecessary. You can get bags at konbinis and other stores (they may charge a few pennies); we ended up tossing excess plastic bags at the end of the trip.
We brought little cloth hand towels, widely used by Japanese people, since public toilets often don't have ways to dry your hands. But we never actually used them.
Best apps and websites for getting around: Japan Travel from Navitime, loaded before leaving home. Along with Google Maps and the built-in compass feature on the phone, it made getting around a breeze. We loaded the Smart-Ex app for booking bullet trains before leaving and got our first train tickets at a discount.
Best of all, an IC card. We put Suica in our Apple Wallet, loaded with some yen before leaving home, and loved it. Be advised: Suica and Smart-Ex sometimes conflict in real life, requiring help from station personnel to get you through the gate. If you want to avoid that, download and print the QR code for your train ticket.
The Japan Meteorological Agency website and Weather dot com offer very reliable, up-to-date forecast info.
Cellphones: For various reasons, we used a combination of Verizon's fairly new $100 International Monthly Plan (250 minutes of phone, 250 messages and unlimited highspeed data for first 20GB) and Ubigi's $17 eSim. The Verizon was a mixed bag; it did let me use my phone as a hotspot but the quality of the signal depended on the local partner; I counted at least three--SoftBank, au and Docomo. I switched between my cellular plans, depending on signal strength in a location. Using my phone exclusively for navigation and web searching, I never hit the Verizon limit and needed about half the Ubigi 10GB.
Getting there: We chose to fly Premium Economy for the first time, mainly for comfort on the 13-hour flight, and found it worth the considerable extra expense. We're also glad we went non-stop (ANA), even though it meant spending the first night in Tokyo before zipping off to Kyoto.
Expenses: About $15K (USD) for 28 nights, not including airfare to and from Japan. This was our first overseas trip in more than 3.5 years, due to the pandemic, so we splurged a bit.
We spent almost a month and only scratched the surface. How we went about picking places to stay, see or eat, and some of the ones we especially liked, will be highlighted in Part II of this report, coming soon.

Hello, fellow Aeropress lovers! Like many of you I'm a big fan of brewing my coffee at home. Since I'm not a professional barista who can brew with his eyes closed, I often relied to different brew timer apps, however all of them had some flaws, therefore I decided to develop my own (with some help of ChatGPT and Stackowerflow)!
Instead of focusing on other apps' disadvantages, let me tell you what makes Timer.Coffee special:

1. It's free and completely open-source, source code is available on github. I think open-source matters not only from ideological perspective, but also because it gives a community a platform to build a better app together. For me specialty coffee was always about community and connections, therefore I think this is a crucial aspect. Also, open-source guarantees that the app won't just disappear from the App Store (as it happened with some apps I used).
2. The app currently supports 7 brewing techniques and 20 recipes with more to come. When I started developing, I quickly realised that it would be much easier technically to assign one recipe to each brewing method, but I didn't want to limit user's choice. Actually, the situation with Aeropress differs – there are some really good apps with a lot of great Aeropress recipes. However, with Timer.Coffee you can brew more than just Aeropress :)
3. You can adjust coffee and water amounts an brew as much as you wish! App will automatically adjust all the recipe steps to reflect the desired amounts.

Also, you can:
- Mark your most-loved coffee recipes as favorites for easy access.
- Instantly revisit your last used recipe.
Coming soon:
- Tetsu Kasuya 4:6 brewing method for Hario V60
- More recipes!
I would be happy if you'll try my app and it'll help you to enjoy your coffee more. Also, any feedback is highly appreciated.
Here are the links:

Google Play
Also, there's a web app, which you can use directly in your browser.

I sold a sports bra for $30. I packaged it the day it sold(Sunday the 28th before Memorial Day) and when I went to the grocery store I dropped it into the USPS dropbox(I know now to never do that but was going to be gone a couple of days and wanted to get it out.) By mid week I checked and say it still showed no movement, the only thing it showed was that I created the label. I called USPS and they said it was probably not scanned and to give it a few days. This is my 3rd sale, I didn't know on day 7 they could cancel and when that popped up I immediately messaged the buyer and told her I would be at the post office Monday morning to check on the package and I got no reply. So I go to post office( the buyer canceled the order while I was at the post office) and they said I need to file a lost package claim. I emailed Mercari and they said I have 24 hours to show my side or they rule in the buyers favor. I know it is just $30 but it is $30 and I dont have real proof that I did mail the package. So could the buyer still recieve it and and not return it or end up not paying for it?

I’d like to go to the Apple Store right when they open. Apple says they open at 10, but the mall itself opens at 11.
Does the Apple Store have an outside entrance or something?

Thought I would post my experience as something of a buyer beware / awareness raising exercise for multiple quality control issues on Moza wheels I bought in the last week. I've owned an R16 wheelbase and GS V1 wheel since about August last year and they've been pretty solid.
I should preface this by saying that the reseller I bought all the hardware from, Pagnian Imports, were amazing throughout and I can't praise them highly enough for the support experience. I was lucky that they're just an hour drive away so I could see them in person instead of having to ship everything back and forth.
So firstly, I bought a Moza FSR and after taking it home found that it had a faulty quick release. It was slipping on the shaft of my R16 despite all the bolts being tightened up fully, and it was causing a huge amount of rattle and shake on bumps, the wake up the whole house kind. Took it back down to the store and confirmed it was doing the same thing on the R16 wheelbase they have in their showroom, so they replaced it for me.
While I was at the store I also said screw it and bought an RS V2 wheel, since I wanted to get a round wheel for rallying. I get both wheels home, and first tried out the new FSR. Quick release is fine, everything working normally except for the thumb sticks don't work. After pressing them down to click them, they'd get stuck there and then wouldn't work for inputs in any direction. I also get the RS V2 out of the box and it has the exact same issue on just the right hand stick, the left was working perfectly.
Take these 2 wheels back to the store again, get a new FSR out of the box and test it at the store. Everything working perfectly so that's great. Get another new RS V2 out of the box and it has the EXACT SAME ISSUE with the right stick as the first one did, with the left one also working perfectly. Pagnian are refunding me for this.
Very disappointing quality control from Moza here, or they have some sort of fundamental flaw with their stick design which is causing an unusual amount of failures on v2 style wheels.
Has anyone else had this sort of experience with Moza quality control on their newer wheels?

We're glad to share that you can now install the most recent version of the hi App - v2.8.0 - and get access to the latest features.
Go to the Apple App Store
In App v2.8.0, you'll be able to see: - Revamped Membership Program Pages - Re-enabled Option to Purchase Crypto with Credit Card

This is Cookie a one year old hedgie. He was bought as a pet for young child. While we were at the pet store getting my new hedgehog this little guy was sitting on the floor in a small cage. He didn't have a wheel or toys. The previous owners didn't play with him so of course he became fearful. And being on the floor of the pet store with people walking around all day... My heart broke. he became so anti-social with people which happens when you leave your pet in a cage all day with no interaction. I have never seen or heard a hedgehog shake growlin huff the way he did every time someone came near. One of the pet store workers was cleaning his cage and he bit her so bad he wouldn't let go. Two other employees trying to get him off and finally she had to run him under cold water to let him release her. We said if you still there in a week we will come back and think about adopting him.
Less than 48 hours later my husband and I went back and they were so happy to be rid of him They gave him to us and everything he had for free. I've been putting on soft music and rainforest noises to simulate the sounds of the pet store so he's not too frightened of my three kids running about. Early this morning when the kids got up for school he was on his wheel and they were softly cheering him on. A few days ago he ran back into his cuddle house but today he stopped for a moment, sniffed the air and kept running. Every day my husband has been picking him up and petting him and when Cookie has bit him my husband got him to let go without further trauma (my husband has some nice deep tooth marks but he's a tough dude!). It's been less than a week and he is showing us he's feeling safer with us.
Isn't he a cutie? Look at that grumpy face! I love their grumpy faces ❤️

If you're a novice to podcasts, you're definitely no stranger to these struggles: How to write a podcast script? Should I write the script for the interview podcast? Should it be word-for-word? Should I use the script for a solo show? How to write one?
No worries — many aspiring podcasters face this.
If you've googled these questions at least once, you're at the right place. In this article, we'll share best practices for writing a podcast script as well as give you script templates based on the podcast format. So whether you're going to write a word-for-word script or just leave some touchpoints in it, we've got you covered, so let's delve in.

What is a podcast script & must I use it?

Well, you definitely must not. However, all great shows that flow like a casual off-the-cuff conversation are, in reality, well-prepared beforehand. It doesn't mean, though, that the script should have every word you're about to say — a word-for-word script isn't a necessity. It's up to you whether to plan every word before hitting the record button or just have a few notes.
What's more, using no podcast script whatsoever doesn't mean your show will sound rusty, or your talk will feel inarticulate. Sometimes, you can do perfectly well without a script, but that requires practice, knowledge of some recording tips, and long hours of podcast hosting experience. If you're just starting out, it's always useful to have a script as a backup.
So what is a podcast script? This is an outline of ideas and touchpoints you're going to speak about in your show. Only you decide how detailed the script will be. A well-thought-out podcast script brings your show's episode structure, direction, and cohesiveness. When you have a script at your fingertips, you'll feel more confident to get back to the initial route if something goes not as planned, sparing you a bit of nerves and post-production time.
The script helps you stick to the focus of your show and not to deviate from it, prepare transitions, and keep the talk within the planned recording time. So even if you mustn't have a podcast script, you definitely should.

Podcast script outline templates (for common podcast formats)

Firstly, let's take a solo show episode as an example and see which podcast segments it includes. Note that it's not necessary to strictly stick to this template; for instance, you can eliminate the sponsor part or reduce it to a couple of mentions. You can also change the order of the points.
💡If you don't have a podcast sponsor yet or don't know how to monetise your show, check our article that covers exacyly that.

Solo podcast script template

1. Introduction
2. Sponsor message
3. Music jingle
4. A more detailed explanation of the episode
5. Topic 1

• Main point
• Supporting points
• Supporting data / quote

1. Segue
   
2. Topic 2.

• Supporting data/ quote

1. Segue
   
2. Outro
   
3. Call to action
   
4. Sponsor message
   
5. Music jingle
   

This is the basic outline that you can customise the way you feel right and align with your show structure and topic.
As for the podcast firmats, there are several common types; each has its own stricture and, thus — a podcast script. Whether you're going to record an interview, a solo show, or a talk show with co-host(s), the scripts will differ.

Interview podcast script template

Interviews typically require more preparation than solo shows, and the scripts of the upcoming interviews are more detailed and thought-through. When you host an interview, it's essential to know exactly what you're going to ask your guest.
💡 We've covered how to prepare the questions for the guest, so check that piece before making the interview podcast script.
Once you've researched your guest and prepared the list of questions, start making points that'll help keep the line of what you're going to say. It's essential to be prepared for the interview and know what you'll talk about not only for your comfort but for the comfort of your guest as well. The latter will create an atmosphere of two friends talking, making the show sound easy and conversational.
To achieve it, the script is important, so here's an example of the interview podcast episode:

1. Introduction.
2. Guest introduction.
3. Sponsor message.
4. Music jingle.
5. Question 1.

• Side questions if need be.
• Segue.

1. Question 2.

• Side questions if need be.
• Segue.

1. Question 3.

• Side questions if need be.
• Segue.

1. Recap.
   
2. Outro.
   
3. Sponsor message.
   
4. Call to action.
   
5. Music jingle.
   

You can customise this plan to your own interview.

Co-host podcast script template

If you're about to have a talk show with one or several co-host(s), the most optimal approach would be to prepare some script with the general conversation structure and touchpoints but generally keep the organic conversational flow.
You might wonder why to have a script for the talk show with a co-host, as it's supposed to be a natural conversation. Preparing the script beforehand will allow you to avoid the issues like interrupting each other, repeating things, one host talking too long, and awkward jumping from one topic to another.
Transitions (or segues) are super important for a co-hosted show. So in such a case, it might make sense to have scripted transitions.

1. Introduction
2. Sponsor message
3. Music jingle
4. A more detailed explanation of the episode
5. Topic 1

• Main point
• Supporting points
• Question by Host 2 to Host 1.

a) Answer by Host 1. Question to Host 2.
b) Answer by Host 2 to Host 1.

1. Segue
   
2. Topic 2.
   

• Main point
• Supporting points
• Question by Host 1 to Host 2.
• Answer by Host 2. Question to Host 1 by Host 2.
• Answer by Host 2.

1. Segue
   
2. Outro
   
3. Call to action
   
4. Sponsor message
   
5. Music jingle
   

With a co-host, it's crucial to record each person on different tracks. This way, you can edit your voices independently later on. Waveroom, a virtual recording studio, can do exactly that — it records audio and video tracks of each participant individually and automatically merges audio and video tracks in your personal working dashboard.
💡 Give it a shot — Waveroom is a perfect solution for podcast recording, whether solo shows, remote interviews, or co-hosted talks.

Essential podcast script segments with templates

From the outlines above, you've noticed that it contains segments that will be relevant to any show, regardless of its format and structure: Introduction, sponsor message, segue, outro, and call to action. Let's briefly touch on each of these.

Podcast introduction (Intro)

A podcast intro is the first thing listeners hear when opening an episode on a podcast directory like Spotify or Apple Podcasts. So it's essential that your intro has these qualities: it's short, welcoming, and explains what the podcast is about. To be consistent and recognisable, use the same script for introductions of each of your episodes. Here's the general and easy template for a podcast intro script.

"Welcome to [podcast name], the show that [short podcast description]. I'm [host name], and today we're talking about [episode topic] with [guest name, if any]."

Guest introductions

If you have an interview, it's vital to introduce your guest(s) as well, so after the intro we give you above, you can elaborate on your guest(s) and add this:

"Welcome [guest name] to [podcast name]. She/he/they are here to [why? Provide expertise, answer questions, tell their story, etc.]. Hi, [guest's first name]; thanks for joining us today."

Sponsor messages

Scripts of your sponsor messages may vary depending on how much the brand controls this message. Sometimes, brands write them on their own and ask you to just voice the scripts. Others give podcasters merely the main points to touch on. Either way, talk to your sponsor to come up with an engaging sponsor message that will resonate with your audience.
Here's a simple example of how you can mention your sponsor:

"Today's episode is brought to you by [sponsor name]. [Sponsor name] is [brief benefits of the sponsor's product or service and why the listener should try it].

Segue

Podcast episodes, especially interviews, typically touch on several topics. To go from one to another topic cohesively without sudden jumps and keep the steady episode flow, it's important to think through natural transitions (segues). Segues can be jingles, sounds, or spoken phrases.

"Now that you know [previously discussed topic], let's jump right in to [next topic to discuss]."

Podcast outro

Use the podcast outro as a way to thank your guest for participating, recap what you've talked about, and thank your audience for listening. During the outro, you can also announce some upcoming events or episodes.

"Thank you, [guest name], for being with us today for our discussion of [brief recap of the discussion]. Thank you for listening to our show, and stay tuned for more episodes of [podcast name]."

Calls to action (CTAs)

Calls to action can be a part of the outro or an individual segment of a podcast episode. During a CTA, you can ask your listeners to follow you on social media, subscribe to a newsletter or your show on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, write a review, or become a premium listener.

"Thanks for listening to [podcast name]. Before we go, show some love for our show by leaving us a review on Apple Podcasts and following us on [platform name with the handle]. Stay tuned for next week where we [next episode's topic]."

How to write a podcast script: Tips & best practices

If you're just at the beginning of your podcast journey, we recommend preparing a detailed script. You will reduce the number of details over time as you gain some practice talking smoothly without preparation.
Let us cover a few tips that'll help you write a captivating podcast script, even if you've never done it before.

Keep it conversational

Having a script is super helpful, but when you read it during the show word by word, it will sound flat and monotone. So always try to sound conversational as if you're talking to a friend.
To practise conversational sound, record yourself before the actual show with some text-to-speech tool to dictate your words. Then just edit this new 'script,' smooth it out, and use it as a basis for the show.
💡 With Waveroom, you can record yourself talking for 120 minutes free of charge — enough time to practice! You can record an audio-only track or a video. Here in our guide, we explain how to record yourself with Waveroom.

Mind delivery notes

Delivery notes added to your screen indicate pauses, laughs, sighs, emphasis, dramatic effects, pronunciation of certain words, and other elements that bring some conversational tone to your podcast. It's helpful to rehearse reading with these delivery notes before you get to recording.

Maintain a reasonable pace

Don't speak too quickly nor too slowly. Find the ideal talking pace and maintain it. There should not be any long pauses or moments when you talk so fast that it's impossible to comprehend what has been said.
