When you look for a support number online do you Google the company name then the words “customer support”?
Scammers know that’s what most do so they work hard to ensure their scam number pops up before the *real* support number on Google to steal money, data, etc via your call.
My @delta flight got canceled from JFK. The customer service line was huge, so I google a Delta JFK phone number. The number was 1888-571-4869 Thinking I reached Delta, I started telling them about getting me on a new flight.
This: “The modern internet is an endless shell came where the user is continually swindled out of seeing the things they want.”
Searching for things has become less about providing answers and more about Google, the people that pay Google, and the people that game Google. The SEO industry - and the clicks-focused incentive of online publishers - has rotted out search.

The other player waiting in the wings is Mobileye, which has the unique advantage that it supplies ADAS systems to most automakers so it understands this market really well even if they don't currently have a leading robotaxi project.
The surprising life of the most famous laugh in music history: Alison Moyet’s in Situation.
41 years ago today, Yazoo released "Only You" as a single. But it was the B-side "Situation"—featuring Alison Moyet's indelible laugh—that would transform the meaning of "12-inch remix" (with an assist from genius @fknyc ). Here's my history from 2018: daily.redbullmusicacademy.co…
One of my favorite artists with an amazing, unmatched voice I can listen to all day, especially her ballads.

A lot of people seem to be wondering why a separate app is necessary in the first place, which is a totally reasonable thing to wonder about! There are a few big reasons, and they have a lot to do with metadata and cataloging.
It seems that companies conducting layoffs are competing on who can be more cruel and inhumane. How about Saturday night and by blocking slack? Denying entry by blocking badges? A bland, corp speak email? Any other ideas?
Breaking News: Twitter is said to have laid off at least 200 more workers. The platform now employs less than 2,000, down from 7,500 when Elon Musk took over. nyti.ms/3ZlDRhJ

Every once in a while you’ll see a tweet like this, suggesting the task you’ve been procrastinating on will only take a few minutes. Don’t buy it! It’s selection bias; the only people tweeting this are those who were able to complete their tasks. Your task is actually impossible.
