GMail started inserting package delivery notifications at the top of my inbox screen. Not exactly ideal for Christmas shopping with family milling about. If you turn it off, you lose the tabs for email categorization, so instead I wrote a CSS rule to hide it permanently, but it's a bad feature.

I had an OTA update brick my Tahoe infotainment system. Now that backup cameras are standard requirements, those were all unusable.

I've disable future "updates".

"Sneakers" is such an entertaining watch for anyone that's never seen it. Well worth your time.

Had the same problem with a different word. Chrome / Mac.

You can turn off the feature that changes temp based on presence. Or disable dynamic scheduling altogether.
You didn’t really think you were playing “Crazy Taxi” did you?
