A #TechIsShitDispatch tale in two screenshots:
On the left: a screenshot of the email I sent to #Jira Service Desk to ask our IT team to make a DNS change.
On the right: how that email look when it landed in the Jira ticket.
Two rather important differences.
* Jira decided to treat "The addition is in bold." as part of the signature and hide it in the ticket.
* Jira REMOVED THE MAILTO: PREFIXES FROM THE EMAIL TEXT, so when our IT team made the change, they broke our DMARC record. 😡

I did a quick trip to the supermarket today for a few things for lunch. Well, it was _supposed_ to be quick, but of course nothing ever is when technology is involved! (1/3)

#GarminConnect recently stopped importing calories eaten from #MyFitnessPal. This breakage coincided with #Garmin introducing a new, premium (paid) feature for importing nutrition information into Connect, making me and others suspect they broke the basic feature on purpose, something about which we were unable to get a straight answer.
Now the app has broken entirely. It's still syncing with my watch but refusing to display any data.
I'm sure this is fine.

While cleaning up Uncle's old email I discover he has a ton of Hilton Honors points, which he can't use anymore but I can when going to NYC to help him.
(I won't give Hilton money after their capitulation to ICE, but I will gladly use their rooms for free!)
To do this, I need to reset my uncle's Hilton Honors password.
But the password reset email never arrives.
Hilton says it isn't their fault. Perhaps it's Spectrum's? Who the heck knows.
Try again tomorrow, I guess. *sigh*

My motorcycle loan was from #GreenwoodCreditUnion. I wanted to pay it off via ACH transfer.
Most banks can do transfers in one business day. But Greenwood? Nope! They don't support Zelle or FedNow, and their ACH transfers take at least three days to go through. It appears they don't handle their own transfers; they go through Western Union. Bizarre!

I regularly place large orders of a particular variety of tea from the #Twinings website, because it's pretty much the only variety I drink and it's often hard to find in grocery stores.
Shipping is supposed to be free for orders over $50.
When I went to order tea several days ago, it said it was going to charge me $12 in shipping on a $54 order, after the "cart" page claimed shipping would be free.
I emailed their customer support. So far no response.

I receive marketing #spam from Thrift Savings Plan, a.k.a. #TSP, the 401k-like thing that federal government employees participate in.
I've never been particularly interested in TSP spam, but I tolerated it while I was a participant. However, DOGE fired me a year ago and I'm no longer a federal employee, and I recently finally got around to closing my TSP account and rolling over its contents into an IRA, so now I really want to unsubscribe.
