       | Sounds funny, but stuff happens :)

       | Seems like a good thing to match the chrome cycle.

       | lengthy 2FA again because I'm no longer using the "same" browser.
       | (This is the fault of the institutions, not Google.)

       | Again, auto-update is great, but there are still these little
       | kinks that need ironing out... after _so, so many years_.

         | The location permissions system preferences behavior changes in
         | more macOS updates than not. The current system hasn't been
         | around for that long.

       | right away (hence having to make a slight correction to get them
       | back in sync).
