It seems the pace for these kind of posts have settled at once a month. If you missed the last one, you can find it here.

Notes
Lots of good stuff in this one. Edward Zitron’s piece on Google Search is a good read. The Verge’s massive article on the people who work on undersea cables is a fascinating look at a industry and profession that doesn’t get that much light shone on it. Meanwhile over at 404 Media, Jason covers the increased zombification of Facebook.
Federico does a through evisceration of iPadOS and its many deficiencies. Well worth a read (and I suppose frustrating if you are someone like Federico who is a iPadOS power user). Matt Septhton takes a look at some missing pieces of the history of emoji, also fascinating stuff.
That’s all from me this time, see y’all later.
