After assuring the operator that it was just my nearly-new Apple Watch freaking out, I was able to dig up an Apple Support article that outlined how to hard reset it with the physical buttons, which still worked.&lt;p&gt;Apple&amp;#x27;s quality control has been getting worse every year. This is something we say every year; that&amp;#x27;s because its true every year. They started the highest coming out of the 2000s, plenty big laurels to rest on. But their (and Microsoft&amp;#x27;s) software has gotten so bad nowadays that linux desktops are starting to look stable (and don&amp;#x27;t interpret that as an endorsement of the improvements in stability of the linux desktop experience, not even close, year of the linux desktop might happen but only because everything is so shit that you might as well at least use the shit that isn&amp;#x27;t taking screenshots of your desktop or resurfacing photos you deleted five years ago).</text></comment>

And even when they don&amp;#x27;t get cut, since such jobs are dead-end for your career there anyway ... you get what happens.&lt;p&gt;So a lot of QA is actually outsourced to third party body shops where employees don&amp;#x27;t care beyond shoveling some tests out the door to get home quick and get paid.</text></comment>
