Never knew this before - OfferUp is a huge violator of this where they will push notification containing only advertisements with a loud notification that is identical to those used when someone makes you an offer. There is also no way to disable those promotional notifications without disabling all notifications from the app.

Was coming here to say the same; I don’t think I’ve ever come to the Apple Store to buy something; always order it online through their app or website and choose store pick up. You schedule a time, stop in, verify ID, and are out within a few minutes.

Had a very similar situation: at the airport getting on the plane and receive notification of reservation being cancelled for no reason. Airbnb offered us $50 credit to help book a new place the same day.

We ended spending more money to stay at a much worse place and the host had zero repercussions from it.

We stopped by the home while on the island and found that there were other folks staying there during our reserved dates.

I am currently using a Henge dock with a keyboard, mouse, ethernet, laptop charging, and a 4k display connected all through a single USB-C cable.

The dock works without issue on both of my laptops, a MacBook Pro (13") and Dell Precision laptop.
