In the 90s, battlenet was amazing for its time.
Back then, it wasn't a store or a launcher though, it was a mix of chat channels, game lobbies before matchmaking was a thing.

Everything Blizzard has fallen from grace by so much that it's hard to reconcile old Blizzard with whatever shit they're now shoveling.

Old Blizzard was innovative back then, but even that is now tainted by the disgusting way women who worked there were treated.

I don't know this particular individual, but this whole premise is like hiring Oracle to fix your PR team.

For one thing, it still has the option for an additional fingerprint lock to open the app.
Sure, my phone itself is locked anyway, usually.
I still like having the second lock built into the app itself for the odd time (however rare) that I hand my unlocked phone to someone.
I know they're not snooping into my signal messages while I blink or misclick on a notification or whatever.

It may not be a big deal for some/most but I like that feature and I can't imagine that's something that needs much upkeep once initially implemented.

I'm sure it's not the only feature, but it's one I use often.

Read the thing, it explains that their "perfect shuffle" isn't every card being perfectly interleaved (yes that'd be deterministic).
But rather, at every card, there's roughly 50/50 chance of it being a card from left/right piles being dropped, with an increasing odd for the bigger pile.

I haven't bothered proving it, but I'm pretty sure a perfect intellect interleave would eventually put the deck back in order, but that's not what the article is discussing.
