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.

What’s the business model behind sites like Giphy? Is there some geolocation data derived from their use that is then resold to buyers?

I had an OTA update brick my Tahoe infotainment system. Now that backup cameras are standard requirements, those were all unusable. Also affected things like the clicking sound you hear when you use your turn signal. That was completely silent. Cost me ~$2k to get it fixed and wasn't covered under warranty. Good stuff. I've disable future "updates".

They just jacked up the price of GamePass ultimate from $20 to $30 a month, so I guess they feel they'll earn more from ad revenue than from subscription revenue if they're pushing users that direction.

"At the same time, you get a job done and you know you did a good things and helped her pay her rent."

You know you helped her raise money. Maybe she used that money to buy drugs. How could anyone know?

Curious what in app purchase plugin you use for Cordova. The one I'd been using has been abandoned.

I believe the skin and the XSS vulnerability were two separate issues. Even if the site had been using a different skin, the XSS vulnerability would have still existed.
