You do have to trust the people running the service. If it’s connected to 9to5Google that gives me hope it’s trustworthy (they’ve been around a while). I guess you’d also want to know what instructions it’s giving your Nest. So not for the novice

For what it was going for, I liked it! Lots to visually stunning set pieces. Nice references. The IMAX sound was immense

It's buggy and the interfaces look like they were designed by a drunk monkey. Everything I look at reminds me of this graphic (as in, I wish they'd seen it and internalised the point).

Oh, that makes sense. I've seen a few 404s. Yes it could fail much more gracefully / usefully

Therefore in Google Workspace it's easier to trust linking between documents. To create a web of documents.

You can imagine what this is doing to me, having grown up on the web. This is how my brain works

So if the culture of your org is used to how the web works, vs desktop publishing, and you regularly link out to guides from wiki pages, be ready for lots of links to break regularly as (quite rightly) folder structures change

I’ve heard this before where English wasn’t someone’s first language

I worked for them in Greenwich in the late 90s, early 00s. Back then it was a public private partnership. The council owned the buildings, GLL ran the services. They expanded across London in the 00s, then went national following that. IIRC it was skilled and tightly run, hence their success
