Typical QA-less implementation and deployment, no doubt. Not that this doesn't fall on deaf ears. But there is literally a field of people who specialize in making sure software works as advertised, as well as who can make sure software integrates with a heterogeneous system. And nobody is hiring us because they say we're not worth the money.
It wasn't exactly the bees knees, but it was really handy when you had to deal with a .doc file on a system with no Word on it. I feel bad for the system installers and vendor maintenance techs who have to work on a fresh install who are given a .doc file for instructions and now have to download MSO365 just to read it.
Renormalize lightweight tools!
Services that depended on Google Authentication were unusable. Youtube worked fine if you were not logged in. This affected Docs, GMail, Youtube, Photos, etc. Also Nest. Any open documents or data was okay, but new docs were not possible, and opening existing docs after the outage would fail or show old versions.
central america is kind of a myth, like if you think of middle east as neither africa nor asia. Mexico is North America but it is also Latin America (as is all of Central and South America). The former is a geographic designation and the latter is a demographic (well, really just linguistic) designation. Geographically North America includes all of Central America -- but don't tell USA folks that, especially not a certain Mr. Trump...
FIFA, IOC, major sports leagues, now these guys... they ought to all be eradicated from the face of the earth. Let's not forget they set nigh-impossibly body image and expectations for youth, feed gluttonously from public troughs, demand concessions from governments and then leave them a shambles, like a swarm of locusts in for a holiday... Call me mad, but shouldn't sports be about people having fun and getting exercise, instead of filling up stuffed shirts with billions in cash?
