Managers were clear on one point: Employees could not work remotely or switch their job to another Apple office simply because they disliked a particular state’s anti-abortion laws. Attendees say this was presented as a companywide policy: Any employees who wished to relocate to another Apple campus would have to apply for a new job within the company, although managers did offer to help employees find new roles. Now that Apple was pushing workers to return to the office, one manager said, individual teams had less power to grant remote work exemptions than before the pandemic.

“Studying math, it was easier to handwrite notes, given you’re writing equations a lot, but I used too many papers because I would often make mistakes working on math problems,” Chan said, speaking with Gizmodo Australia. “What I would do is peel the pages off and then throw them on the floor.”
But then, in 2010, a little object by the name of an iPad came out (when Chan was just about to start his final year of uni) and the screen size was similar to a standard notebook, which he thought was actually perfect for going paperless. After trying all of the note-taking apps that were available at the time, he couldn’t find one he liked.
So, he did what anyone would do – made his own.

Microsoft -- famous for stealing ideas from others for their Windows operating system -- failed to steal Apple's trackpad correctly? The trackpad on my work laptop is so bad that every time I use the trackpad to click, the cursor will inadvertently move just a little distance away before the click registers. Yes, I'm constantly clicking on the wrong thing.
In the end, I have to use two fingers. One finger to move the cursor on the trackpad, another finger to do the actual clicking on an actual button.
(Yes, the laptop I'm using has a trackpad that actually moves at the bottom for clicking, two physical buttons north of the trackpad for left and right clicks, and a red nose between the G and H keys for moving the cursor. I think you can guess what brand this laptop is.)
