Yet another microwave #UX example. How would you set the time? Once you find "the in" how would you then input the new time?

Narrator: it wasn't pretty....

The reason I keep posting these examples is that there are many ways this could be fixed. Most companies obsess about putting "extra features" on the main buttons, and they burying the 'boring stuff' behind long-press actions.

It's a dubious design strategy and causes real frustrations for users.

Stop it. Stop trying to visit America. I am an American living in one of the most virulent MAGA states, and I am begging you to cancel any and all plans to visit the US. There is nothing, and I mean absolutely NOTHING in this country worth your safety or your life. This is not the America you remember. It is a Nazi zombie running on hate and cruelty and you are risking your life to give it even more money.

It makes me sad that there are so many AI videos and audios of Ozzy Osbourne out there now. I don't care if he said the same things in an interview - creating and sharing artificial AI audio or video after someone's death just feels plain disrespectful unless they gave permission while alive. The worst part is you can't always tell the AI-generated ones from the real videos... that's where we're at now with the world.

Every little website is being pushed onto Facebook thanks to the computer illiterate duckheads in UK Parliament. We'll played MPs, people are much more vulnerable on Facebook you cuckwombles 🤬

"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."
"Why, what did she tell you?"
"I don't know, I didn't listen."
