I had the same issue with it playing episodes in an awkward order because I wanted it to show me the episodes in "most-recent-first" order, but I wanted it to play in the reverse order. I got around it by creating smart…

Apple typically doesn't announce that far out, though. They usually announce when their products are much closer to market, once they've got a device or two built and in hand that they can show off (like the recent…
What was said ("let her speak, please") doesn't fit any of those categories. It was an interruption, but not derisive, aggressive, or abusive.
Alternately the word "ignoring" might have been mistakenly omitted: > "the lesson is more about ignoring what others might be doing and focusing on what you need to do for success yourself"
Is it possible to determine the transit provider at fault based on Cloudflare's list of affected areas?
