These initialisms, abbreviations and acronyms are getting out of hand.

"CONUS" is short for "CONtinental United States"

Where is this term popular? I have never, ever heard this term before.

It's a US military term; I've never heard it outside of a military context, but it's super common within a military context.

I like the many possibilities here of 1. apple shipped a feature for walmart causing their browser to crash 2. apple shipped walmart code in their browser which crashed 3. apple shipped walmart plugin in their browser and then apple made a breaking change which crashed 3rd one is my favorite because it's the most dysfunctional

And none of those would explain why Gusto crashes for the person you replied to
