Infinite scroll sucks. Ecommerce sites that don't have a show all. Ecommerce sites that show every single color of something as separate entries. edit: In theory I think designing a website for phone use and giving that website to phone users is a fine idea, in practice holy poo poo it's like a competition in sucking. Not a fan of websites that has tons of empty space because you couldn't be assed to have more than one so you just designed one for the phone and said good enough. The websites that do that will also probably "helpfully" tell me about how rad their app is. Duck and Cover fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Nov 6, 2023 |

I like how some ecommerce sites don't list what I bought in the emails they sent me. Hey fuckwits I might want to reference that information later. Also stop emailing me so drat much. Just one, if I pay with paypal I want 2, one from paypal, one from you. I want to know my order went through, what I ordered and the tracking. What I don't want is one email to tell me I ordered, one for it being shipped, one for it being delivered, one for your lovely newsletter that I did not intend to sign up for, one to review the product, another to review the product. Sometimes I even get the review email before I get the item. So even if you do tell me what items I bought, it's buried in many emails that do not.

AARD VARKMAN posted:i made the mistake of telling Alexa to "play criminal minds on Amazon" and it auto played the first HD season, 2 seasons ahead of where i am in the show. and now the "recently watched" section permanently assumes I want to continue s4e1, and there's no button I can hit there to see other episodes, nor a button when the episode is playing to see other episodes. I have to search for criminal minds all over again to get to a result I can select an episode from. Amazons UI was one of the reasons I bothered to set up plex/usenet/sonarr/radarr/a networked attached storage. Might have even been the final straw it was just so bad at the time.

The problem with self checkout is it's lovely. The bagging area is small, some of the times it has a weight sensor so if you can't fit poo poo on it it'll complain, the scanning is picky so you're spending time finding the bar code, if you use those price scan guns Stop and Shop has they might not be sufficiently charged.

800peepee51doodoo posted:It's been a real long time since I've used Usenet so maybe it got better but it used to be a huge PITA. Searching for anything was an annoyance and it was super common for files to be incomplete. Torrents aren't ideal but at least it's usually just the one movie file and not 60000 rar files oh and 3 are missing so it won't unrar. Yeah old usenet is pretty much a completely different beast from modern usenet. Instead of .torrent you're downloading .nzb instead of trackers they're indexers, instead of paying for vpn and maybe a seedbox, you're paying for a newsgroup/private indexers. Big named popular shows will get taken down, but they get uploaded frequently enough and have enough indexers that if you're using a download file manager such as Sonarr/Radarr it'll catch it. The applications deal with checking and finding a new nbz if the one you have has missing chunks on the newsgroup you're using.

If you want to be extra paranoid some vpn providers let you buy codes. I use Mullvad https://www.amazon.com/Mullvad-VPN-...73-0e5c1a776d5d it has a mole with a helmet. Use to use Surf Shark but canceling involved making a support ticket, and while they didn't jerk me around that is a lovely way to run your business.
