"Unrecognised ID or password." Which one? Did I get the username wrong, or the password? It would be extremely helpful to know!

Yeah, that's 100% good security. Best practice is not to expose that information.

In a way that's a perfectly good pet peeve. Security in general is the enemy of usability, and it'd be great if we didn't need it.

Yeah I mean there are (I'm sure) good reasons why I have to log into my work system three times every time I start it up but that doesn't mean it's not an absolute pain in the rear end. (There is no need to elaborate on what those reasons may be.)

My related pet peeve is that the "remember this device" toggle when logging in to the website for our payroll stuff does not work and I have to 2FA with a texted pin every god damned time

Honestly all login systems should be replaced with "I only speak truths, my brother only tells lies, ask us one question for access to this system."

Anyway my actual peeve this morning is moving to a new place. I'm about to embark on probably the least painful version of this possible (moving to a larger, more conveniently situated, apartment in the same building next month) and I'm still faced with twenty levels of bullshit necessary to get it done. Mind you, the good local fiber company appears to finally be available in my location and switching to them from my cable company should be enough to offset the rent increase in the new unit.

PancakeTransmission posted:Yes but there's a good reason for this. You shouldn't tell people "yeah the account exists but you got the password wrong". Makes it significantly easier for someone to attempt to get in elsewhere if they have breached one site and start to enumerate where else that account name/email exists. My favourite thing related to this is in the original Watchmen graphic novel - they're trying to guess someone's password, and after a couple of guesses the system helpfully tells them "password incomplete, add more letters"!

Every time I call my ISP about an issue, they try to sell me fiber connectivity. That would be great, and I understand that customer service people can't deviate from script, but why is there not a "this will not work" checkbox somewhere on their end? My address is practically "that one orange building near the brewery, south stairs, behind the pipes, fourth floor" but they think I can punch holes in the wall and run new cables without the landlord noticing.

Sites that do the whole "uwu some error happen" thing for no reason and blank the screen. Yeah, I'm on Windstream, I know that the the connection drops for a couple of minutes once every 8-10 minutes. At least let me read scrollback instead of blacking out the screen while "reconnecting".

My girlfriend will leave food out for hours, already portioned into containers. Just sitting there on the counter with the lid off at room temperature. Why? To let it "cool down" so that moisture doesn't condense on the inside of the lid, which she hates. You have your food handlers card you should know better

I thought food needs to be at room temp for like 4 hours to start growing bacteria? I've always been told to let food cool to room temp before refrigerating to preserve the texture and bc it's more energy efficient for the fridge

But we're taking, like, she'll eat dinner at 5:15 (old soul), I'll come by her place after work and find portions of chicken fajitas or some pasta something or other sitting in tupperware on the counter at 9:30.

I have a news app (The Guardian. Yes, I know, shoot me) which gives me notifications for breaking news, and a lot of the time the news it decides to notify me about is horrific but also inconsequential. Like tonight, it gives me a notification that a little girl has been killed by a dog in Milton Keynes. In what world is that something which needs to be communicated to me as a BREAKING NEWS story that I need to follow? AFAIK there's no way to set the app to only tell me about political / globally significant stuff , so I just have to put up with being notified about random tragedies so I can also get the notifications when Russia's launched nukes into Germany or w/ever.

If you only saw news that affected your life in any way you'd get like one notification a year, if that. And if you limited it to news you can do anything about you wouldn't even get that So yeah you get stories about dog bites girl somewhere in the world and sports star shenanigans because that's all there is

Three years ago we should have gotten a notification that there is a pandemic on and another notification a year or so later saying we're getting some money due to the pandemic.

Although I understand why they do it, Wheel of Fortune contestants who slowly...read...every...part...of...a...puzzle...to...solve...it are extremely annoying. Almost every commercial, Super Bowl ones included, that work overtime to be 'clever' and 'funny'. They're rarely if ever either one, and the desperation these brands have to become the next meme is palpable.

Yeah but you can forgive the Super Bowl ads because the median NFL viewer age is 50 and that's firmly in the boomer age bracket (those born 1945 to 1979). You can't blame them for using boomer humor to appeal to boomers

I'm playing Borderlands 2 right now and I can't tell you how many times (dozens and dozens of times!) you enter a new map area and, all at once, you are simultaneously 1) beseiged by enemies, which is very chaotic and noisy, and, 2) an NPC contacts you over your intercom to give you instructions on what to do next. This annoys the gently caress outta me because A) most of the time I literally can't hear the NPC's voice over the cacophony of the combat; and B) even when I can hear them, all of my attention is currently being employed in the physical mechanics of playing through video game combat, triaging which enemies are the biggest threats to me, am I using the right weapon, etc.; and C) I have ADHD. I have no more attention units left over to parse what this tinny disembodied voice is telling me what to do. gently caress OFF, disembodied voice.
