This is a Dystopian timeline: My wife was let go after 25 years working for the same bank this morning. In an apparent oops, the bank's IT department hard wiped ALL her IOS devices remotely, while she was on the road driving, relying on the GPS function.

The screw you cherry on top? Our apartment building in its infinite wisdom a couple years back switched all building locks to the Latch app.

So she was LOCKED OUT OF OUR HOUSE.

Oh, and the Latch maintained intercom at our front door is out of order.

Thanks for that. Sheesh.

It's a sad story and I hope your wife is OK. It also demonstrates how much all these devices and digital facilities give us enhanced capacities (find your way in an unknown area) but let us powerless (you will never be able to find your way all by yourself without learning how to do it; and why bother because there is an app for this?).

I see that like this common say about giving a man a fish or teaching him how to fish.

For the door, it's another story (I had to search to get what it was).
