![]() I've purchased an iMac, two MacBooks, iPad, and two apple watches in the past and that loyalty means nothing. That is BS! I have been ripped off by $165 and can't do a thing about it. Choose the right channels to engage with customers. How can I be charged an extra $165.39 when my internet was up and down like a yoyo and therefore starting a new purchase each time it connected? I contacted them to make a claim to be told it doesn't fall under their guidelines. 7 Insights Learned From Apples Customer Service. ![]() I accept the bill of $35.84 for the 8 x $2.99 and 8 x $1.49, but I won't accept another 111 x $1.49 (total $165.39) when the purchases were not done properly. More ways to shop: Find an Apple Store or other retailer near you. ![]() I just got a bill for over $200 for what turned out to be 119 purchases of $1.49 and 8 purchases at $2.99. Apple Stores, Apple Authorized Service Providers and Online Support. Apple exceeded analyst expectations, according to FactSet, of 92.9 billion in sales and 22.6 billion in net income for its fiscal second quarter. She would purchase a pack, the store would freeze, no response or update then the purchase would start again. Problem is, our home internet and mobile service was being worked on, on and off, for a period of about 10 days during this time. Apple store customers could be asked to tip employees if this unionized store gets its way. Ok, approved by me to a total of around $35. Over the space of about a week she purchased another one $1.49 a day and a couple of $2.99 packs. Refund request My daughter was playing Homescapes and clicked on purchase a pack for $1.49. ![]() It’s the job description and often explains a lot, but not everything - sometimes it legitimizes what can seem like much more instinctual and personal decisions made under the auspices of the cold logic of capitalism. It’s fair to assume that the leadership at a big tech firm is interested in maximizing efficiency and profit, for themselves or for shareholders. They live weird lives, develop idiosyncratic views of the world, and have unusual amounts of power. It represented an intoxicating fantasy, just not one that most of us would recognize - or, if we did, one that we might recognize as sort of a nightmare.Įxecutive fantasies - and executive autonomy in general - get short shrift in most popular theories about How Things Work, I think, especially in the tech industry, where superstar founders and CEOs are given considerable deference and leeway. Empty offices and newly empowered employees drove some tech executives out of their minds, and the Metaverse promised a solution, or at least functioned as a response. In hindsight, though, I think one obvious answer is severely underrated: COVID. “We are committed to our metaverse vision, and we’re seeing good momentum.”) Maybe they just read Snow Crash in high school and thought: What if that, but not cool? (“We’ve always been clear that our metaverse vision is a long-term one, and nothing about that has changed,” said Meta spokesperson Elana Widmann, in an emailed statement. A sense of impending stagnation among tech giants surely provided some anxious fuel. Crypto-adjacency had something to do with it. One question worth dwelling on, however, is why it worked at all - and why people like Zuckerberg were so zealously committed to it, despite the massive costs. Which is fair: Changing Facebook’s name to Meta was a bold attempt not just to rebrand a company but to set an industry agenda, and while it ultimately failed, it sort of worked, for a while. “Zuckerberg misled everyone, burned tens of billions of dollars, convinced an industry of followers to submit to his quixotic obsession, and then killed it the second that another idea started to interest Wall Street,” he writes. He lays a great deal of responsibility for the hype at the feet - or in the space below the floating torso - of one man. Zuckerberg declared in a March update that Meta’s “single largest investment is advancing AI and building it into every one of our products.” ![]() The billions of dollars invested and the breathless hype around a half-baked concept led to thousands - if not tens of thousands - of people losing their jobs.īut the Metaverse was officially pulled off life support when it became clear that Zuckerberg and the company that launched the craze had moved on to greener financial pastures. Disney shuttered its Metaverse division in March, and Walmart followed suit by ending its Roblox-based Metaverse projects. Microsoft shuttered its virtual-workspace platform AltSpaceVR in January 2023, laid off the 100 members of its “industrial metaverse team,” and made a series of cuts to its HoloLens team. The Metaverse fell seriously ill as the economy slowed and the hype around generative AI grew. In an obituary published on Insider, Ed Zitron suggests the ultimate cause of death was the arrival of yet another next big thing: The metaverse was a term in search of a trend a trope in search of instantiation a failed act of summoning by leaders who really thought they could control the weather. Legless avatars beckoned us into barren digital landscapes to … stand around and talk about NFTs? Parcels of “property” sold for millions of dollars? It was a … virtual world? No? A mixed-reality game? No? A new frontier? An escape from meatspace? A layer on top of it? Companies raised and spent billions of dollars on the metaverse without ever quite getting their stories straight about what it was supposed to be or do - they didn’t just lack a good pitch beyond “getting in early,” they lacked a coherent concept to pitch in the first place. ![]() A few years on, Silicon Valley’s brief obsession with the metaverse has assumed the quality of a bad dream, half-remembered. ![]() So when it came time to do My Chem again, I had said to myself, ‘OK, I’m not gonna control the audience. And we did always try to keep our shows really authentic, almost like you didn’t know what was gonna happen up there night to night, even if we played the same songs. “So I started to kind of examine my own part in that, and think about playing big shows and kind of working a crowd and hyping a crowd up. ![]() “After the band broke up and I had a lot of time to think and change and grow and all that stuff, I started to have a real issue with control,” added Way. “And the depth he gets into on the stories behind the song ‘Welcome To The Black Parade’ are incredible for any proud music geek.”Īsked about the New Jersey band’s triumphant, sold-out reunion show at Los Angeles’ The Shrine in 2019 - right before the pandemic - Way said: “It was the most fun I’d ever had playing a My Chem show.” The show was the venue’s highest grossing gig, clearing nearly $1,500,000. “As soon as you tune in, you can hear we have known each other a long time, so it was, like all of my interviews, incredibly conversational,” Baltin adds. Whatever, I’m done now.Baltin - who has known Way since first interviewing the MCR frontman on a Warped Tour stop in 2000 - had plenty of ground to cover, including Way’s decision to take a breather after the band broke up in 2013, the triumphant reunion shows six years later, his friendship with Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, and stories about My Chemical Romance’s landmark album, “Welcome to The Black Parade.” Fine, I guess “Disenchanted” doesn’t kick that much ass. Play on repeat: “Welcome To the Black Parade” Skip it: Do I really have to pick something to skip? I do? Fuck. You know what, I don’t actually hate that analogy. ![]() “The Black Parade” is “Freewheelin’” for a smattering of baggy Hot Topic pants clad millennials. I don’t know what to compare it to, so let me take another big swing and say, uh, “Freewheelin’.” There you go. For the life of me I have no idea what that record would be for 2000s emo kids, but “The Black Parade” kicks a whole lot of ass so screw it, let’s say this is it. Once in a generation an album comes around that completely redefines our cultural appreciation of music. Play on repeat: “Thank You For the Venom” Skip it: “Interlude” This album is the equivalent of finally being cool enough to sit all the way in the back row where the bus driver can’t see you and getting to do some over-the-clothes hand stuff with the grade-up girl who is way too hot for you. “Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge” sounds the way riding the bus in middle school feels, but in a good way. Play on repeat: “Bulletproof Heart” Skip it: “DESTROYA” 2. Anyways, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, “Killjoys” is pretty good. Like we have some sort of cultural amnesia that just takes us over and we stand, dumbfounded with mouth agape just ready to be fed whatever the next compliance-induced morsel the producers decided to drop down on us. I get that growth is hard but c’mon! Wasn’t this exactly what you were just trying to avoid? Probably the dumbest part is that we all buy into it all the same. What is it with really successful punk bands that feel they need to change up their image or style and so they do and it works really well and then for the next thing they do after that they pretty much do the same fucking shtick over again. Danger Days: True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (2010) Play on repeat: “Skylines and Turnstiles” Skip it: “Our Lady of Sorrows” 3. Christ, that CD really did smell like Jersey. I don’t know what the hell that was about and MCR, if you’re reading this (yeah, you’re reading this), I’m glad you were able to avoid that literal disc stench for future releases. Like the actual CD that I had as a kid, it was stinky. ![]() For a first record it is quite strong and all the other things you’re supposed to say about a good band that’s still developing. “I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love” is a fine album. Let’s just get this one out of the way awhile. I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love (2002) Here’s our definitive ranking of every My Chemical Romance album. MCR did what we all should have been focusing on while instead, we curated our Top 8. Sex it up right and you’ll play shows sold out stadiums, look cool in a marching band uniform and have access to all of the eyeliner you could ever possibly eat. My Chemical Romance proved to the world just how far an oversexed MySpace profile could take you in this world. |
