Reminds me of the fun times of dropping the phone and having the phone go to one side, battery to the other and back cover to a third place.

That’s a separate case (Masimo suing Apple) which is still ongoing. Apple countersued to try to block Masimo from releasing their own smartwatch, this article refers to this case.

How would routing be done without source/destination? When the device changes networks, how does the origin and all routers along the way know that this device is on a new network?

No, they’re saying that they would use the built-in ZIP support if it was performant enough. Since it isn’t performant due to design limitations, they have to use 7zip.

Wrong address is one reason. For example, I receive transactional emails from a US-based ISP for someone else and the only way to unsubscribe is calling their customer service line. I’m not even in the same country.

This is the problem I have. If there’s just a little sweat on my finger, it stops working.

Users can opt out of the targeted updates, so they will update only after the version is consolidated.

Companies and government should not be using the targeted version at all.

It's not an excuse for the issues, but it's not a big problem for companies as you make it seem.

After the update, macOS will start reindexing everything. It’s normal to use more power due to this.

They should check if that behavior continues after a few days, not hours after the update.

Maybe. But there is room for improvement on the notifications, there is no reason why the phone needs to ring and vibrate on every notification.

If it notified the user a few seconds ago, it should have a delay until the next ring/vibration.

People are prejudiced against talking to bots because of how bad they are currently. I despise calling services that have voice recognition, often times it's easier to have an options menu.

If they can get a way of saying "I'm a bot" without people hanging up the calls, I'm all for it -- otherwise, "I'm calling for a client" or similar is the best for everyone involved (assuming everything works).

Businesses also need to have a way to report problems to Google, like if they are getting spammed by Duplex or want to opt out.

In addition, albeit a stupid conclusion, by supporting all major email providers, they are supporting the majority of email users around the world.

They made a decision to ditch P2P and route all calls through their servers. Local calls would fall into the "P2P" umbrella.
