I am so sorry this happened to you. Sadly most cases like these are scams. One thing to keep in mind is that there will be other people offering you to recover the money, but that is a scam as well.

I’m not sure what country you came from, but most countries have so many laws to make scams like this difficult, sadly the US lacks laws and measures like this.

There is a good chance that the “girl” you were talking to is not even a girl but someone that does this for a living and you never stood a chance. They probably live nowhere near you.

Never send anyone money via Zelle, Cash app or Venmo, as you have no way of getting back that money. If you pay someone with PayPal don’t use friends and family, as that also doesn’t allow for you to get your money back, you should always select merchant.

In the future, if you are unsure if something is a scam, it probably is. If you need confirmation ask on r/Scams.

Depending on how old your phone is it may lack the resources (if for example if it is an iPhone 11 or older). Try saving the file to a USB stick and then plug that into the TV, and see if there is any difference.

I have been using iMovie and never had a problem with heads being cut. We’re you using AirPlay or did you save the video to something that then connected to your TV?

I think it is caring about NPCs/empathy. Spiritfarer was so unique in where you got to dive into the psychology of why people were still holding on to their lives.

Every now and then there is a game that comes up with a NPC you have to feed or help so they can survive, those are super heart breaking to me but it is often a quest with huge rewards…

Cool outfit

There are 3rd world countries that have gone digital. And the unhoused there have cell phones (cheap phones work just the same). It works fine.

I feel there is a disconnect here somewhere.

Here is the text from the top section of the sharing of personal information:

“Apple may share personal data with Apple-affiliated companies, service providers who act on our behalf, our partners, developers, and publishers, or others at your direction. Further, Apple does not share personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.”

Google sells your data FOR MARKETING PURPOSES.

These two are not the same

While they can share with developers and other is very restrictive compared to the rest of the industry.

There have been so many lawsuits that it’s not even funny

When it first started way back when, I am pretty sure it said that it was going to be free, with unlimited space forever.

While that is true until a couple years ago, when you download an app from the App Store it now shows a section on how your data is handled. If the developer sells your info, how is Apple responsible???

Can you tell me where in the TOS this is located?

Google tracks things if you are using their browser or services. Otherwise Apple is not sharing anything. Actually they have a very strict privacy policy. So I think your name information may be outdated.

I don’t mind that Apple monitors, cause every one is monitoring everything. However Apple is not selling my personal info like Google, Yahoo, etc. does

When was the last time that Apple sold anyone’s private information?

I use iCloud. No ads, no monitoring or tracking of what I am doing and tight security.

Remember when google told us that it Gmail was going to be free forever? I guess it is, but only if you constantly delete your emails, so you don’t go over quota… let’s not mention the ads that look like e-mails…

Glad I got away from this garbage a decade ago
