They saw restaurant workers as just a cog in their machine that would put up with an error prone voice assistant. Hard to get that from minimum wage workers.

On my area some restaurants have just stopped answering the phone that you could previously use to place orders. I'd do the same (stop caring) if I could barely afford life even with a bunch if roommates.

    Typing anything like a website for the apple TV is the most excruciatingly annoying thing ever, it could only be described as torture. I would punch the executives that approved the design.

    The shitty iOS input via annoying notification prompts when anyone in the house uses the TV are not a solution either, since they get so annoying you have yo disable them.

    TBF Bluetooth sucks a lot. To this day I need to power cycle the phones Bluetooth connection and headphones connect button a few times for it to pair properly some times. Different brands and headphones, silly different issues for all. Want to use your headphones for more that a phone and laptop? Maybe on a third device like a TV or desktop? Fuck you.

    Yes, but it can be involved and one mistake means your email could potentially never make it to peoples inbox as it will be seen as spam, etc. Not even mentioning that if your server was offline for an extended period of time (e.g. 2-5 day vacation), you could lose incoming messages.

    They can also read your more personal emails if the other party uses gmail regardless of what you use. The best you can do is try to distance your different "online personas" by separating personal emails, purchases and other use cases keeping Google out of as many as you can without needing other people to also jump ship.

    Having to install powetoys on top of the OS makes it DOA for many on corporate environments. You get stuck on approval limbo or if someone else went through the pain, you discover it breaks every once in a while due to missing .net dependencies that you don't have the right to install. I've seen this for both development (w10 w/ extended support) and thin clients (w11).

    Unfortunately our clients all use Windows development machines, so we are stuck on the same to be able to write the guides and documentation. Most of our scripts now rely on Got bash since we know that's available. MS environments are hostile to proper scripting and automation.
