I'm usually not impressed with Apple's UI choices because they always seem hell bent on making it harder to work on a smaller screen but the new info icon (cell signal / wifi / battery) is really well done. Now, the real question: was that AI or did one or more humans come up with that? :)

Quickbooks recently forced businesses to rely on automatic tax payments for payroll. Normally, that's fine because I mean you've got to pay those taxes. But, right now, they withdrew funds for a tax not due until the end of the year! Imagine that with 100k businesses. They get to use those funds!

It's amazing how much some (maybe most) businesses try so hard to make money by cheating their own customers. I mean, what happened to producing a good product or service, making a decent but not exorbitant profit margin, and just benefiting from that?

Funny how all the digital services out there are raising their rates a few dollars here and there calling out how much their service gives you when all you get is the same stuff only shorter (seasons) and less of it. But hey, they couldn't find anything else to maintain that healthy 30% growth rate.
