"Amazon wilt [sic]..." this typo in the putative official contract quoted here and in the OP actually makes me suspicious that this is a true cut and paste of an official contract. Lawyers are many things but typo-prone is not gen

Yes. Whenever I accidentally open a .JSON file in Finder and thus launch XCode (instead of opening it in VScode), my 2.4Ghz 8-core 32GB RAM 2019 MacBook Pro Retina screeches to a halt for ~30 seconds. To display a text file. sigh

Totally agreed. In terms of a "graphic exposé on the reality of COVID" - if you haven't seen "76 Days" yet, I would strongly recommend it. It is a wincingly direct and raw documentary - no editorializing or narrativ
