To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Unfortunately, it's been even more chaotic for some users with AMD's Ryzen 7000X3D processors. There have been several reports of Ryzen 7000 processors burning up in motherboards, and in some cases, burning out the chip socket itself and taking the motherboard with it.

An Apple-linked company applied to trademark 'xrOS' in New Zealand. Spotted by The Verge's Parker Ortolani , the word mark uses Apple's SF Pro typeface and was filed by Deep Dive LLC, a firm believed to be a shell company of Apple. Apple often uses shell companies to file trademarks ahead of launches, including macOS version names. Apple's headset operating system was seemingly originally called realityOS, and the company actually filed to trademark this last year, also through a shell company.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
