After a recent update, Window's Clock app (which I used to use for a timer) now requires you to sign in



what the gently caress

I thought it was bad enough when they removed seconds from their taskbar clock, which is still apparently an open issue

a recent update to the YouTube Music app, at least on Android, no longer lets you thumbs up or down by long pressing a song in a playlist. it now has to be the song currently playing. occasionally I'll hear new songs I like while driving and will go through them after I get home and thumbs up or down and now it's a big loving chore for absolutely no reason at all

Also gently caress having a qr code menu at a restaurant I don't go out to eat so I can stare at my phone like a goddamn savage.

The first and last time I went to this new local restaurant I asked if they had a menu and the server moved the little metal thing with salt and pepper and poo poo to reveal a scratched up qr code on the middle of the table that barely scanned. Instead of going straight to the menu I had to find it on their terrible mobile-unfriendly website and it was in a .docx file.

Why did Butterfingers get so bad? They used to be good. Did they take away a harmful chemical? Put it back in, please

agreed, also yesterday I just bought the last box of those butterfinger bites I will ever buy, it only had like 10 pieces in it.
last time I got some a couple years or so ago it was pretty much a full box.

Podcasts are a scourge. Yeah let me waste a whole hour listening to some dipshit instead of reading for 5 minutes. Their only redeeming characteristic is that you have to deliberately seek them out, unlike when you're trying to read an article and instead there's a loving video.

I'm watching Criminal Minds and it's on three services and none of them have appropriately timed subtitles for it. Hulu's are 2 lines ahead, Prime's alternate seemingly at random between slow and fast, and Paramount+ straight up won't show them. The "subtitle" function on my 11 inch bedroom tv 25 years ago worked more consistently than this poo poo does. Enshittifying accessibility is a whole new low

this is one of the reasons why I pirate
I have the same issues, but slightly less often, while not paying 16.95/month

Google assistant on Android no longer lets me use the assistant button to do voice commands without going "Hey Google"

Now it just searches for whatever you say, so for example "set an alarm for 1 hour" gets me YouTube videos that run for exactly an hour

It's dumb

yeah they made it worse a year ago and completely neutered it in the last update. I thought they wanted people to use Google assistant but they keep making it harder to use??:dafuq:

My sinuses are getting shittier, why am I feeling new sinus pain. How much sinuses can a person even have? Am I just all sinus?

Glad to have gotten AI results when googling, cool and good.

humans gain 1% sinus per year, which is why most people over 100 just want to die already
