The reason IT support people are so bitter is that YOU (I mean YOU) cannot rationally describe the problem:
You: The Internet is down
IT: How do you know the Internet is down?
You: I can't get email.
IT: Is it possible that the email servers are down and the Internet is working just fine? Can you visit Twitter on your browser?
You: Yes, I can visit the twitter website.
IT: Is there any reason other than email to believe the Internet is down?
You: The last time I couldn't get email it was because the Internet was down.
The fact that IT doesn't call you a blithering idiot on every support call demonstrates saintly restraint, even if a little bit of their frustration leaks through.

It was Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Space: 1999 (1975-1977).

You gotta be kidding me. Apple wants developers to declare reasons for use to access UserDefaults???
This is a direct quote from the "Describing use of required reason API"
Declare this reason to access user defaults to read & write information that is only accessible to the app

A big reason Hollywood is coming apart right now is that executives fell for Silicon Valley’s magical thinking — and just like so many tech co’s that fail to deliver on promises of endless growth, they’re taking it out on workers
