@lemm.eeThey love to do this. 2 years ago they renamed Office (the online, browser based version) to Microsoft 365 https://www.computerworld.com/article/1614302/office-to-be-rebranded-microsoft-365.html
They can present the "new" apps to shareholders
If you would read the article you would know that the title is perfectly correct, as currently it's only available to Win, other platforms are just planned.
It's an RDP client you can connect to pcs on the network or vms on azure
I wrote "by osm supporting companies". The companies behind overture are also supporting osm, that's what I wanted to write, it's not necessarily a competitive project, simply data quality is different, but there is an overlap between supporting companies.
Overture maps is a project by osm supporting companies to present their fake and/or low quality data to their shareholders. They can't import it to osm because of the aformentiones reasons, so they created their own osm with blackjack and hookers.
Roads and landuse data is from osm so it it's the same. Building contours based on osm and from some MS ai tool, similar to what you get in the RapId editor. At some places it's good, in dense cities it's unusable, and there are a lot of false positives, fake buildings on lakes and rivers, etc. Shops and POIs are from Facebook, a lot of them are at the wrong position or they not exist anymore, duplicates and jokes etc.
So as I see, it's not usable by itself for anything. But it's license is compatible to osm, so you can freely copy from there. I used it to check validity of osm notes. Facebook via this allowed us to copy data from any page, it was a grey area before. Here where I live a lot of shops don't have a website only a FB page, and it wasn't clear if you can copy phone numbers, email addresses from there. Now the same data is available in overture
Some more details on the update frequency of services and maps I use:
I wrote this from memory, so it may be not 100% up to date, please correct me if I'm wrong
Early iOs and Android icons were one of the last offshoot of the style called "Frutiger Aero"
Flat icons don't necessarily bad and undetailed, it's just harder to create something more recogniseable with less tools, but I actually like the order, that they look like they are related to each other. Back in the day I created icon packs for the programs I used on pc, so my desktop would look clean and uniform.
Design styles are in a cycle, just wait some years and they will show up again, I'm sure. There is already some connection with the new style of windows 11.
That's actually how World Hertitage designation started. After they moved the Nubian monuments to the new location, UNESCO figured out, we should have a list of the most important monuments the World should save wathever it takes, they named them World Heritage Sites. And that is the reason natural things were not allowed to get that designation for a long time, originally it wasn't its goal.
