Proto Himbo EuropeanMe in 2000: I hate Microsoft's business practices but I'm conflicted because some of their products are really good.
Me now: ... Why do I have to use this trash?

Mind LudeDigital photo frames: seemingly simple, yet so many are utterly terrible. This piece dives into the murky world of subpar screens, atrocious software, and sneaky subscriptions.
Turns out, finding a truly good one is a quest. What's one piece of tech that *should* be simple but rarely is?

John Gordon 📷... what is means is that I have configured three triggers for alerts. The actual information about what is missing is all the way down at the bottom of the page, after scrolling all the way down, even below their "ad" panel (which is telling me about "welcome tips" although I've been suffering through this crapware since he was in kindergarten (now in high school).
So, the important information is at the bottom, and the settings are highlighted at the top. #badUX #poorDesign #BadSoftware

#Safeway (#Albertsons) self-check-out station software bug - consumer-facing *production software* in use in major national grocery store chain! WTH! - app in endless loop. Message: “Please wait, help is on the way”. Workaround: go to other checkout station and scan everything all over. ☹️😡 Hyper-capitalist commerce in the early 21st century.😡

MegatronicThronBanksThe new version of Chrome is bad beyond all belief. Here is a site with all the Linux deb versions.
Download your current Chrome now. I think I'm finally moving back to Firefox for work usage.

Tushar ChauhanDoes anyone else have their apple machine reboot on them willy nilly? My air m2 does that after I have been afk for a while. Instead of waking from sleep, sometimes it just decides to restart. Obviously forgets all the windows and the desktops they were assigned to.
So frustrating. It's such an absolute shitshow of an OS. I wish I didn't have to use it for work :(

Colin the MathmoAnother complete screw-up by EventBrite.
Last week I tried to reserve a ticket at an event and the "Reserve a place" button never showed up in either Firefox or Chrome on Linux.
It did in Chrome on Android on my phone.
Now I've tried to reserve a ticket for another event run by another organisation and I've had exactly the same symptoms.
EventBrite has one reason to exist, and they are complete screw-ups.
If you want reliable ticket and event management ...
Don't use EventBrite.
If you don't care about your users ... fine, do what you want.
