Search engines should not ever, under any circumstances use geo-location data to provide results. If I search for “current weather,” it shouldn’t know where I am, and it should require qualifiers on my part if I want to narrow it down.
On a similar topic, my devices should not automatically change settings to adapt to my routine. Settings should only change if I manually change them.
Along those lines, “smartphones” should NOT autocorrect me by default. My phone is the most arrogant asshole on the planet that it thinks it knows what I meant to say more than I do, that and any word that is also a brand automatically gets capitalized…
No phone I’m not talking about Tide pods, I’m talking about the damn ocean…

You joke but I have autocorrect, auto-capitalization turned off on my phone because it’s so annoying for reasons similar to what you wrote.
