The "established procedures" of the worldwide, multi-company, multi-country "ecosystem" in which Apple is embedded are that everything, or at least everything administrative, can be done first and foremost from a Web page. Once you get that basic functionality in place, you can start screwing around with apps or whatever. Your platform is an "edge case", and, yes, Apple, this means you. As for professionalism, you appear to be under the unfortunate misapprehension that anybody gets paid to engage in bull sessions on here.

you appear to be under the unfortunate misapprehension that anybody gets paid to engage in bull sessions on here. Fortunately, I'm not mistaken in the fact that this world is small, and the grandparent poster is living in it. I've had the distinct honor to witness many a person sitting across from me have the unfortunate distinction of being known by me in circumstances that were less than fortunate for them. And at the end of the day that can really affect how someone "gets paid."

  You sound like a terrible colleague, on a very high horse, with very little self-awareness. You enter this thread with a straw-man, and when called out start threatening with cancel culture bullshit. What are you even trying to prove here and to who? You're a parody of an Apple user. I guess that's what decades of being patronized and gaslit by a company does to someone.

    cancel culture bullshit. You're a parody of an Apple user. I guess that's what decades of being patronized and gaslit by a company does to someone. How on earth did you draw these two conclusions? I'm simply asking people to not call me an "ass" and a "dickface" in a professional setting and all the sudden I'm some cheerleading Apple user who was gaslit and patronized by a company? Some of you are some angry misguided people. You should really look inward to how you interact with your fellow peers. This is frankly, disgusting.

      First of all, this is not a professional setting, it's a comment section to an article. Second, you reduce someones completely valid need of being able to cancel a subscription to a condescending straw-man: > supporting your 0.001% edge case of you wanting to run iMovie on your Sun Workstation running Solaris Since you see this place as a professional setting, is that how you handle colleagues? With unnecessary and patronizing sarcasm? Anyway, when you get called out for it you double down with "careful, we might meet each other professionally": > I've had the distinct honor to witness many a person sitting across from me have the unfortunate distinction of being known by me in circumstances that were less than fortunate for them. And at the end of the day that can really affect how someone "gets paid." Ridiculous. Don't take yourself or this place too seriously. Nobody is angry, we just don't have patience for your bullshit. Where do I apply if I want the opportunity to tell you to go fuck yourself to your face?

        Where do I apply if I want the opportunity to tell you to go fuck yourself to your face? You can contact me through my profile. You won't though, because even though Sweden is a large country, you wouldn't dare say that to my face regardless. I know you wouldn't.

        How come? Are you a tough guy who resorts to your fists when your fragile ego gets questioned? Imagine sitting there doxxing people over this bullshit. This needs an XKCD, "call the FBI, someone on the internet called me an ass". I'm sure you have 15 e-mails drafted already "Hey, are you aware that your employee has opinions online? It's not a good look for your company and you should do something about that." Get a grip on yourself man.

        I will be very amused to see him contact my employer. ;) I guess he couldn't penetrate my cloak of plain real name, middle initial and all. The guy lampoons himself.
