I work too much :(
I'm new to mastodon and twitter-like social media websites. I created this account to vent about work and post information and snippets that I or others might find useful later. My workweek ends on Thursdays in theory :/
Having worked with enterprise systems for most of my career, I am unable to fathom businesses voluntarily locking their core business functions behind google maps APIs and not falling back to GPS coordinates when those APIs eventually break.
Most global online stores work tirelessly to grind down friction in their checkout process, but here we apparently increase friction for reasons beyond mortal comprehension. The culprit here is #hypermax app. #kuwait #google #googlemaps #ecommerce #android
#Philips geofenced me from downloading an instruction manual for a cooker I bought from an official store in #Kuwait. There was no printed manual in the box.
Lesson learned. Do not buy any #Philips product unless you download its instruction manual first. If this advice sounds absurd to you, it should.
All I wanted was to easily prepare myself a warm meal after a long day . I don't have energy for this shit.
Why? Why exactly would I want to "open and pin Copilot" for you, #Microsoft? You keep interrupting me with notification spam demanding that I take actions that I have no reason to take without giving me a single reason to change my mind.
Quit pestering the only user base left that still wants to use your buggy, spam-ridden dump of a product, you fucking assholes.
Every year I'm always humbled to see many very skilled colleagues of mine fall into this trap, with some staunchly defending their work and arguing that the issue is elsewhere - typically the PFX file or elsewhere in the traffic path.
I blame system vendors with confusing UXs. I'm looking at you #fortinet; either install and select the intermediate certificate automatically on PFX import or reject broken cert chains by default. #pfx
