Not long ago , I ask you all to vent your rageabout the most garbage why - the - hell - doesn’t - it - actually - work - worth - a - goddam technology that you still incur yourself having to use every damn day . Here ’s our collective technical school shit list .
Web browsers:
A popular one . Which web browser in finical depends on who you ’re talking to :
For me it was Google Chrome :
For me it ’s fucking Google Chrome , and I lie with I ’m not alone . For a while , I thought it was my aging Macbook Air with its 90 % full hard drive ( and to some extent it is ) , but I ’ve discover that whenever things get head - bendingly , rip - my - hair - out , blaspheme - at - the - computer , “ my coworkers must think I have serious ira issues ” slow , all I have to do is force give up Chrome and load it back up again to start our relationship fresh . Then , I ’ve incur like another 2 or 3 hour before everything descend into chaos again .
I ’m not indisputable precisely how much this problem afflict everyone else . I get laid my coworkers sound off about alike issues but I routinely see screen with like 20 + Chrome tab key clear , and I never feel well-heeled drop dead past 10 or 12 . mayhap one of my several extensions leaks storage . Or mayhap Chrome just hat me specifically . Still , I put up with this shit every god blamed mean solar day . I think I ’m pretty closely to switching back to Firefox , but I ’ve been tell that for like a month now .
But I ’ve sincejumped ship .

But forLegless Legolas ’ LEGO Lass , it ’s Firefox that ’s the problem :
Firefox . My tabs sin up a few multiplication a day so I ca n’t shut them , and sometimes it just closes the whole affair if I close two tabs in speedy succession . I probably should switch over to chrome , but I ’m too lazy to install my addons .
And formnerdit ’s erstwhile faithful(ly obnoxious ): Internet Explorer 8 :
Because I crop in a clinic . Thankfully our infirmary IT is moving us all towards practical desktops using CITRIX , so I can have a modern web web browser and still utilize our bequest World Wide Web apps .
Fax Machines
Yes , facsimile machines are still around and kick . PerShirosake :
This is really something i m TRYING to rid the domain of . As a person in the IT and telecommunications industry and any of my IT compatriots will agree …
FUCKING FAX MACHINES . LET THEM DIE DAMNIT .
LordFancypantsicusis also pissed :
facsimile machine . I do business with a heap of physician ’ offices , and they ALL habituate fax , with its cruddy image quality , aptness to drop pages , and the tendency for the someone faxing to put forms in upside down or accidentally slew off parts of the page . All this hassle , when they could literally just take a picture of the descriptor with their smartphones and email it . The fax machine needs to die .
And according tobourgeoismiddleman :
In order to talk to some local government , you still take to send a facsimile machine . Sometimes ( City of Oakland permission desk ) the recipient role ’s fax simple machine is broken , but they get all catty when you essay to netmail them a document !
…
This is paraphrased but not much :
Me : It still did n’t go through , can I just e-mail you a pdf ?
Oakland : You have to telefax it .
chiliad : But I ca n’t fax you justly now .
O : facsimile machine it .
one thousand : Is there another facsimile machine I can send it to ?
O : I ’m not authorized to tell you that .
M : So , am I travel to have to get there and give you this firearm of newspaper ?
oxygen : You could hold off until we set the facsimile machine machine …
Printers
No surprisal here . Who demand newspaper anyway ? Idiots , that ’s who . Geekymitchputs it righteously :
Any # $ % ( * ^ pressman I habituate . Ever . They all take in . Drivers suck . Hardware suck . Fucking ink cartridges suck . They all suck .
Fuck printer , man … screw them in their eyeballs .
I habituate a laserjet 7520 and it ’s a really solid machine for what it does … but if I forget to turn it off when I ’m done it tends to decide 3 AM is the time to clean photographic print drumhead . And since the printer is in my sleeping room not only does it awaken me , but I get to heed to it waste all that freakin ink .
But that ’s ok since if I do n’t impress enough HP will just recount me the ink has expire .
UGH
Andjbatubara :
Printers . Office Space really nailed it .
Complete with obligatory GIF :
Bluetooth
Nothing worse than a dropped connection . agree to Ramius :
Bluetooth . Believe it or not .
When I m in my car , my Iphone is connected to both my Global Positioning System and my stereo . And its unacceptable to tell it what to apply each twist for . So even though I require to use my stereophonic system for music only , there s no such option . So when I get an incoming call when driving , the stereo system will piece it up . Which has no mike . And using siri in my car is darned near unacceptable .
I require to severalize my iPhone that “ The stereo is for music only ” “ Always use Siri via the iPhone ” and “ always direct calls to my gps when in the car ”
[ Sometimes ] I experience full bluetooth meltdown . When switching informant it sometimes crashes completely . If I m connected to my stereo , and try to use Siri , it will first go through my stereo , but when I shift root to iPhone , instead of just working , it instead crash .
I want to simply do this :
Blutooth gadget preferences :
auto stereo : Music only
Tom Tom GPS : speech sound call only
Siri : Always via iPhone .
AndEric(a different Eric ; not me ):
The Bluetooth connection between my phone and LG Tones . Drops and lags at random , done it with three different phones , but they ’re all Samsung , so still not certain who to blame . But the LG Tones are wireless and have well sound than most earbuds , and there ’s no better alternative ( that I know of ) .
DittoHomerjay :
For me it ’s the bluetooth connection between my iPhone 6 and my Honda . Works neat for medicine , but air phone it throw away out somewhat regularly . It ’s a known issue that Apple has yet to address .
Andmatt975321 :
Bluetooth integration with my car . It tie in just hunky-dory , but unless you have the music set to act as through the car the phones audio warning signal and sailing are not able to be heard while connected to bluetooth . On the other script telephony calls work all right . The earpiece ’s should be able-bodied to roleplay navigation via the speech sound speaker while connect to bluetooth or to somehow use the same bluetooth connection as the phone part to play the seafaring .
Ca n’t hold off for android car and car play to become prevalent as I think they will be advantageously suited to dealing with this type of issue , in addition to overall better integrate sound into the car , rather than the passel it is now .
iTunes
A recurrent shittacular shitfest you ca n’t help but have to utilize . Stubbornidealistputs it the simple :
iTunes . Nuff say .
Peter jacqueselaborates :
EXACTLY . Every time I have to use iTunes , I curse . And I ’m a musician , so I use it a lot . I resisted upgrade to iTunes 10 for a long time , but then had to because my iPhone ( 4 , ahem ) was on iOS 7 … I do n’t know how they ’ve so made such wholly broken media personal digital assistant . It ’s Byzantine .
As doesRidgeR5 :
The last update just bang the GUI over so risky . It spend a penny me off that they went from a squeamish prospicient sidebar with everything on it to a top menu that still only shows half the filing cabinet class , even on 1080 answer . Fucking monolithic empty infinite all over the lieu .
AndTrackPeanuts :
I do n’t sleep together about broken , but bloated , teasing , insufferable ? My money is with iTunes . You ’d think after 10 + years of being the go - to software for synchronize your Apple devices , they ’d somehow , somewhere got it right , but nooooooo .
ANDSnow Dog :
iTunes . Just repay to the Apple world , as was shocked that it ’s still as crappy as it was the last time I used it , back in 2004 .
Our own Annalee Newitzoffers up Twitter , a drumwe’ve beaten before :
My answer has to be Twitter . It ’s broken in every possible way — Tweetdeck for desktop suction , Twitter app on my earpiece does n’t work half the sentence , AND my stream is full of crazy dramatic play . And yet , I lurve it so . Is there deprogramming therapy for social sensitive ? Maybe I require it
