Trakt forced their redesign on me finally. It's so badly broken. Not only is it less functional (three times as many clicks to do everything), but several of the features are just downright broken. Like, adding a movie to a list can be done from the movie page, but it doesn't update on that page. So, there's no way to remove a movie from a list from the movie page. Instead, you have to go to the list itself, and remove it from there. And, there's no longer any way to even add a single episode to a list that I can find. That's one of my main uses.

I can't believe they forced this update prematurely when it's so badly broken. Coincidentally, my VIP subscription to Trakt was canceled last Friday, after they raised the price from $15/year to $60/year. So, a few days after I stop paying for the service, I'm forced to use the broken version.

I may just completely cancel my account. It's so sad. I've been using Trakt for well over a decade to track my TV and movie viewing. And it would be a shame to just leave it completely.

I was so frustrated with Apple Numbers AI today that I didn't pay much attention but now I think it was trying to get me to upgrade to the Creators Studio version. It interrupted my work with a screwed AI suggestion to try get me to subscribe.

Apple Numbers spreed sheet AI got in my way today. It tried to assist me in a simple autofill and screwed it up. I don't even subscript to the creators (stinking) version. Just 2 columns by 12 rows that after I finally got the AI to stop I could do my fill as I always have. There was no simple dialogue to say no let me doit my way. I had to accept it then undo it.

The report shows how this phenomenon affects both consumers and society at large, but that it is possible to turn the tide." >>

Why does Facebook allow people to buy ads that impersonate Facebook?

On Facebook there will be an ad that is a picture that looks like Facebook's notifications but if you hover over it reveals it is going to a scam site.

Facebook gladly takes the ad money because they don't care if a user gets scammed.

I wonder how many actually fall for it. It must work because the scammers keep buying ads.

So Google has marked email that Google sent me as junk.

You would think Google's filter would say, "hey this is from us, it's not junk."

It was a Google Business Profile email, which I always get two copies. One on main account and one on back up account. This time one was marked as junk and one went to inbox.

I not complaining it just reminded me how a giant corp can't get the small things right.
