It should be illegal to produce software for phones and not also make a version for PCs.
Just got a Eufy outdoor solar-powered camera and the hardware is great but the software is so fucked.
You can only really use a phone to view and control the camera. The web interface may as well not exist.

I wish this was an exaggeration, but it isn’t. They appear to have actively worked to block their purported allies being granted asylum, so they couldn’t be called to give evidence in Britain.
The British government and forces left their local translators and interpreters to be killed by the Taliban so they couldn't give evidence in any war-crimes trials

“This candidate hates country music!” is something you’d tell people to get them to vote for them, not against them.

Why does the Windows 11 SDK put two DLLs in the root of C:\?
And why has this been an issue for over 2 years without Microsoft fixing it?
They're supposed to go into the 32-bit System32, not cluttering up the root.
Utter incompetence.

Browsers should keep the API that allows web pages to reinterpret the scroll position and do something else instead that completely ignores how fast you've configured your mousewheel to scroll etc., but the moment anyone uses it a cruise missile should be launched to their location.

Playing Dead Space (2023), in the bit where the invincible hunter attacks you on the way through medical.
Mess up twice so I reload my save, and now the hunter won't spawn, three times in a row.
Search for info. Steam forums are in a miniscule font and block pinch to zoom.

the thing I keep thinking is that capitalism has created so many jobs that simply don’t actually need doing, with the rationale being that they employ labour and therefore are a public good, economically. so if commodities don’t need human labour anymore … what now?

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Love that Smart TVs have evolved to the point that simply turning one on for the first time is a half hour process involving a fucked up phone app and nothing works the first time or happens at any reasonable speed.

Someone explain to me why the only XL cab Arcade1Up even sell in Europe is NBA Jam Shaq edition?
The only PartyCade they sell is also NBA Jam Shaq edition.
No one anywhere in Europe gives even the smallest fuck about basketball, and especially not any of the individual players.

For such a niche thing, the Pinside forums are crazy busy.
I subscribed to a bunch of threads about games I might want to get one year, so I could build up some knowledge of what they're like to maintain and how people feel about them long-term. But it's quite a lot to keep up with all the posts.

Both TLoU games do fancy shit with the RGB on my keyboard.
For loading screens it just lights up sequentially left to right like it's an expensive throbber.
Only because this is a German keyboard, Y and Z are swapped and the RGB programming didn't account for it. Ha.
