PSA: You're doing wrong when your stuff-ups become a plot point

Jeez (Big)Tech industry! You're doing it very wrong when not only everyday folks are having to regularly warn each other about your antics, BUT you're also being used as a punching bag *PLOT POINT* in topical popular media, where they explicitly show your products as being in the wrong!

Yes, just the other night, I was watching a movie where a major plot point of the story is that an iOS update ended up inadvertently wiping out a whole bunch of precious and irreplaceable memories. And then just now, I'm greeted by a social media post where some everyday folk are warning that the newest iOS update may end up inadvertently deleting your "Shortcut Automations", as the "trigger mechanism has been rewritten to be part of each shortcut".  While I'm not an Apple user myself, this is still embarrassing to see!

Please do better!
