Um

I just assume uh everyone who has this happen to them, it's not just me.
podcast-host
Assumes like, oh, someone's trying to get into my Apple ID, you know what I mean?
podcast-host
Like and like putting in bad passwords and then you're getting locked out of your account.
podcast-host
And when this happens, it basically Apple says your Apple ID is locked, and you have a button that says unlock account, and it makes you go through a bunch of stuff and enter in your phone number and it sends you an SMS and you do two-factor and you gotta enter your password.
podcast-host
And uh back in the day it also used to try to herd you towards re-changing your password, which I would never do.
podcast-host
You didn't have
podcast-host
to do you could unlock the client with account without changing your password, but it would send you there and try to make you think you have to re-change your password.
podcast-host
Anyway, I'm kind of sick of doing it.
podcast-host
And then at a certain point, um, it started saying uh I started getting 503 errors, HTTP 503 responses.
podcast-host
I forget what that status code stands for.
podcast-host
Someone can look it up while I'm talking.
podcast-host
But um basically like your the HTT request of the unlock your apple ID website, which is Apple's website to be clear, it's like something on Apple.com.
podcast-host
It would throw five or three hours and you get this little uh Apple HTML dialog box saying, sorry, couldn't complete that request.
podcast-host
And it's like a seven step process to unlock your Apple ID.
podcast-host
And every HTTP request has to go through.
podcast-host
So you could be on a page and you'd watch like in the in the dev tools, you'd watch it firing off all these, you know.
podcast-host
Uh Ajax request essentially.
podcast-host
Uh
podcast-host
fetch request, whatever, behind the scenes, and you'd see them going through and it'd be like 200, 200, 200, up 503.
