Why are you looking so hard for an "evil" reason or ulterior motives for it? Companies doing good things brings good PR. That could just be it.

I don't think this happens in all apps though. I didn't realize Firefox still behaved this way because I use it on macOS more.

My gripe with FF on Mac is the lack of support for autocorrect. While I can live without autocorrect, this also means my text expansions (stuff like shrug -> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) don't work in FF but work in basically any other text bo,

Is there any truth to this? I have noticed battery life vary from 100% depending on if I use a different charger. But it only really happens when I travel, so I chalked it up to different usage patterns or climates.

I remember when they proudly talked about all the mics on the iPhone 5 used for this when they presented it on stage.

Perhaps. Note that it's not unprecedented. Google, and likely others, offer a similar service: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3024190?hl=en

Only tangentially related, but... If you're looking for a front-end library for autocompletion, Twitter's typeahead.js is a nice one: https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js If you want one that works seamles

This is a blanket statement. You seem to have a very distorted view of the situation. Working on H-1B does not equate any of this automatically.

People on H-1B move companies all the time. The new employer simply has to file for a new H-1B visa that is not cap-exempt and is not subject to any lottery this time around. As soon as the documentation is filed (even before approval), the
