same mistakes made all over again

> We scrotty little IT newcomers have a lot to learn

Yes, every decade I see the same human-level mistakes made all over again. Because corporates assign the designs to wet-behind-the-ears newbies, who don't know the field and have not seen those same mistakes made over and over.

> HTF can the back end possibly even vaguely infer that both system A and device B are being used by the same individual?

Presumably the individual designated phone 123-1425 as device B for system A.

> A clock on a fridge?!

Yes, that bothered me deeply. I already have too many clocks.

Well. The answer is clear. Don't employ humans. Hi, robot overlords! And they don't need clocks or refrigerators.
