IoS13.5 has a completely crazy/moronic bug from @Apple. If you have family sharing switched on you will find that you are blocked from using applications (even free applications). I had to reinstall chrome and whatsapp. VERY frustrating!

#k8, #Kubernetes, #rancher, @adriandotgoins We recently moved to rancher and we are extremely happy (loving multi-cluster support). Only gripe is the log viewer (its v MS-DOS!! 😂). Asked my guys to fix this and submit a PR.
