Dear ikea, whoever decided that setting a timer (not end of cooking, nor duration of cooking, merely a machine that goes ping after a suitable delay) on your oven requires 5 presses of the function button AND THEN uses the rotary knob to increment IN SECONDS has obviously never thrown stuff in the oven and wanted a rough idea of when to investigate the cake in 45 mins.
After much twizzling i gave up and decided to chuck an album on and figured it'd be about right. #UIFail

#insta360 Studio has it's own feedback form ...

We will see, if they actually read it.

Of course, I won't be hearing back from them either way, because their form's e-Mail field only allows for VERY short e-Mail addresses of 29 characters max.

WTF #KLM #airline what is wrong with you?

Like other airlines, they require your passport number pre #checkin .

But you can't type it in anymore. The ONLY option is, to SCAN the real passport with your webcam or a smartphone. No option to upload an image or just type in the information.

And apparently don't even need the image/video, they just use it to extract the passport number.

Which I could have copy/pasted in, saving me a ton of time.

Waiting with a few others outside pharmacy for it to open at 9. Last time a lady showed up and unlocked it from inside about 9:05, so when 9 comes and goes I'm not fretting.
But sometime around 9 I did hear what sounded like a small solenoid. Like, maybe if one were to have an electronic lock. That's silly, the lady unlocks it like always. Eight minutes later, still no lady, I just check and of course it was unlocked electronically.

Look how sleek and elegant the UI was in the day of the iPod. Simple, relatable, not a shitty bunch of visual assets blocking the sense of order and searchability. How I miss it.... https://www.tuaw.com/2026/02/25/gen-z-revives-ipods-as-smartphone-fatigue-grows/ #UIfail #Apple #UXfail #ipodgreatdesign

Android UI Deceptive Design Pattern Department: A few weeks ago, we crammed an AI button into the Search bar widget. But, nobody used it, even when we tricked people into tapping the button accidentally if the corner of their phone pressed on the base of their thumb. How do we get more people to use our AI malfeature? I have a smart idea: let's move the button 1/3 the way into the text field where you type a search term.
