Even their Github reads like marketing, even while calling out that it's not just marketing.

It wasn't that hard to read unless I misread. The curation happens before using. By giving it API information and credentials to connect to company systems.

If they want to let employees use a personal ID for authentication, that's great. As long as the workspace area is partitioned off and they don't at all cross paths. There's a reason why Apple isn't competing with Microsoft or Google offering a unified online workspace.

Of course. If you had an iCloud account back when it was MobileMe, it didn't function as your iTunes account. Later on, when all accounts function as Apple IDs, you find out that new accounts are both but you can't merge yours - they are separate forever.

Externalizing an outage externalizes the blame. And everyone seems to accept it.

And human operators will tell you to reboot your cable modem during a power outage if that's what the script says.

I don't know about fish, but at least in humans it would be surprising since even organ transplants get rejected by the immune system. What are these cancer cells doing to evade the immune system? By not looking like cells at all?

Laptops, you can adjust brightness natively but despite this technically being possible for external displays, you have to have a utility to enable it. I don't know if LG even has this option, they are probably just shoveling junk only.

SBC bought AT&T. SBC's reputation was so bad that renaming themselves AT&T was a step up.

The video is increasingly hard to find online, but this Colbert Report video from 2007 gives the best recap of the history: https://www.facebook.com/watch...

Notably, this list does not include consumers who will identify it as a recycling symbol with a number in it. The plastics industry came up with the idea and then convinced governments to adopt the symbol, fully knowing what it would imply to consumers.
