Wouldn’t have happened if people listened to seasoned pros
A cautionary tale, this one: never put all your eggs in one basket
And further I’d say: whenever possible, have at least two alternatives, with at least one being fully offline
And if you try to mod you Apple phone to fix it from having remote killswitches and, to my knowledge, you’re in Japan or the US, but likely in a few other places too, you’re a criminal. 🙄

People still mod their Apple devices?
As far as I know the modding and jailbreak community died years ago for apple.
I don’t follow closely so can’t be sure, but I’d imagine no modding scene fully dies, only shrinks after the interest peak passes.
And with how technology is moving to a problematic end, more people get bothered and try to revert course for what interests them. But as the reversion tries to win against the original course, the messier it becomes, what feels to people as if the original course is gaining traction and thus bothering more and more people which then try to reverse the course in their own niches. That considered, I’d imagine there’s always space for a modding/jailbreak scene to keep existing.
A non political Leopard eating face story.
Lockdown fans will just shrug, say “won’t be me!”, and move on. No amount of warning will reach them
This dude probably ignored all the warnings about not owning the things you buy from Lockdown and only now is realising the impact.
Back up your important stuff. This is not new advice.
Its not even about backup. The author was locked to such an extent in the apple ecosystem. They lost their developer ID, apple ID. Cannot use imessage, transfer files, etc. All because apple decided to do so for a gift card which they considered unauthorized.
This is the risk with closed systems.
I have no sympathy for this. Especially as a dev, he should know better.
Lol. Digital life.
Lawyer time.
