Cause HN brings the daily dose of blue light every nerd eye needs. Hahhaha, jokes aside, I don't know. Stylus is a good tool to read on this kind of webs!
Well, I'm not in your situation, only you know what is the "right" thing to do. If you don't feel comfortable working with children in their 20s and 30s, you can always try starting a business or working as a freelancer.
Keep in mind that these types of websites always keep a relevant part of your money. Think of them as a Google Add investment. Try to create your own brand and make it clear that you have a website where they can contact you in the future.
Update: Finally I reinstalled everything without the ID and is working just fine, I'll use my personal Apple ID to download Xcode and I'm never going to create a new one again.. Thank you so much for your comments!
Final update: I feel like a complete idiot. As @tobiasbischoff said, a simple user swap could resolve all of this.. I hope tomorrow I can recover my lost IQ from today! ahhahaha.
Let's suppose they banned the account cause the information is already in use. No problem with that, but don't let me create the account in first place! And of course don't allow a user use it as main ID on a device if you know you ask a password for logging out. And as I said, calling for resetting a password? 2022 and a trillion dollar company.
Well….. it should be clear by now that this is not just about “resetting a password”. The instructions at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204106 provide quite a lot of options to follow, with the support call being last resort. Bugs happen, so why not tell them and let them help you first?
What part of "Tool for work" you don't understand? If this helps me make money, why would I buy a 200$ cheaper Windows/Linux machine? Am I more free with a Windows/Linux machine? Seriously? We can go all the way down if you want, does Intel/AMD/ARM let you see the code?
The AMD microcode, running on my computer, isn't going to lock me out of my computer. You don't get full freedom with that microcode in the free software sense, but that's besides the point in this situation. At the very least that AMD microcode isn't going to (purposefully) lock you out from logging in to your TTY, because it wasn't designed to do that. At worst, the microcode will be so faulty that your PC won't boot (and that, hopefully, wouldn't be by design).
What's happening on your Mac, however, is by design. Apple designed the software to do that, and they get away with it. That's the difference.
If my AMD microcode started doing that, the whole world would be in uproar. Because, at least in present time, present day, they're not able to get away with that. Same applies to Intel and ARM. But Apple does.
That’s a naive take. The intel ME is also there „by design“ and is equally capable to lock you out of your machine. And as long as only a small number of users are affected, they would also get away with it. The average customer usually doesn’t care about other customers problem as long as they’re not affected.
