Summary: A major brick-and-mortar store sold an Apple Gift Card that Apple seemingly took offence to, and locked out my entire Apple ID, effectively bricking my devices and my iCloud Account, Apple Developer ID, and everything associated with it, and I have no recourse. Can you help? Email paris AT paris.id.au (and read on for the details). ❤️ Here’s how Apple “Permanently” locked my Apple ID. I am writing this as a desperate measure.

    Lest Android users (like myself) think we’re immune, Google has been known to nuke accounts too, leading to a similar outcome.

    I’ve been trying my best to get out of a “one account for all” mentality - photo backups are probably the #1 problem for me right now.

    I’ve got the local storage, but I’m not sure about exposing immich to the Internet for photos access when I’m not at home.
