Tech pet peeves ITT

tech pet peeves ITT

Hate it when people use their headphones but they don't untangle them first so they just end up with a ball of wire hanging from their ears. I don't see this a whole lot but it pisses me off when I do see it.

Muy OCD
Fuck off

>software developer is jewish

its not OCD, I just hate that this faggot is gonna be so lazy that they are gonna look like a retard just to try and save 30 seconds of untangling

Sounds like OCD to me faggot.

Fingers on the screen.
Monitor pokers, especially the ones with pens should just hang.

Not him but while checking out this potentially decent thread, I couldn't help but notice what a gigantic faggot you are. What's it like being a kissless virgin?

>holding down backspace rather than shift-home delete

Been using a computer all my life and did not think of this..

>when software companies decide to make their own programming language to go with their software/hardware

300+ tabs

People putting pronouns on things such as their bio or profiles like I'm going to take any notice

You clearly have taken notice, considering you're bitching about it on here.

What is google?

>watching porn videos on android
>"tap" the close button on the ad over the video
>redirects through a long route of pages
>ads now popping up into a new tap for each page
>stuck in loop, dialog windows keep coming up
>WARNING YOU HAVE WIRUS NOW SIR PLEASE TO BE DOWNLOADING ANTIWIRUS FOR ANDROID, NO POO, PROMISE
>page tries to open google play store URI for a keyboard emu clone, which routes the spellcheck queries to some poo server, includes adware

WHY is this allowed?

Windows

Female employees on power trips who want something from the IT service desk.

You keep your headphones long enough and that shit doesn't come untangled. Try to straighten it out, it just rolls back up or looks at twisted. Apple earbuds are the fucking worst about it.

Google's insistence on making each new iteration android brighter and whiter with no fucking dark mode. It can't be hard to add this feature like the millions of custom rooms before.

t. ramlet

This. A thousand times, this. Jews are assholes.

when IDEs automatically indent for you, incorrectly. Or microsoft word. Really just text editors and word processors doing anything automatically.

Fucking hell, a guy at work jabs the screen so hard with his finger its like he's trying to shove the monitor over

Flat or "material" design in general. Because not only is it ugly, it's always bright blazing white with stark colors.

Well, you can just lower the brightness. Sure, it doesn't do any better, but at least you're saving some battery life.

>NO POO, PROMISE
goddamnit lol

>2011
>using wired headphones

>people pronounce GB as 'gib' instead of Gigabyte

All the dumbshit "help" Office and some other applications do. Selecting an entire word when I only wanted part of it, selecting the space after a word along with the word, dropping leading zeros when pasting in a spreadsheet, trying to merge formatting and just fucking it all up.
There are quick ways around all of these, but I'm always forgetting the UX is broken until after I've assumed otherwise.

>2017
>Using shit quality wireless headphones

How haven't you strangled him yet?

What gives you such iron will?

>being poor and not buying high quality wireless headphones

>Being this retarded
>Thinking high quality wireless can beat high quality wired
Kill yourself and take that "xD ur poor" meme with you.
Anyone can buy good shit now a days.

People (mostly poo in loos) who use earphones while driving. It looks ridiculous.

>calls a flash drive "a usb"
>calls a headset "a bluetooth"
>calls flat panels "flat screens"
>calls a desktop a "home screen"
>adds "my" when referring to an application
N. Korea has the right idea, we should make people get licenses to use computers.

fug I hate this too.

Had a friend once poke at my monitor I had just bought and left a fkin smudge on it.

I don't understand why they have to physicality touch the monitor to show me something..

too dumb to use aux or too cheap to buy a better stereo after spending $800 on an itoy

Monitors didn't used to have flat screens, it's a common accepted term. I agree with the rest of your items though.

t. tablet

>Monitors didn't used to have flat screens

>it's a common accepted term
It shouldn't be, it's literally illiteracy. Anybody on Sup Forums or in tech shouldn't refer to them that way.

Considering 400€ wireless headphones sound worse than 100€ wired headphones...

firefox + ublock, never had this problem

>14 year old programmer that uses a mac
>people in the comments saying that he's going to be the next steve jobs even though steve jobs didn't do shit and he is making basic applications

>Being poor and buying stuff with wires so thin that they tangle.
FTFY

On that note, recharging my shit drives me nuts. I just want it to keep going, so I avoid the wireless stuff.

>steve jobs didn't do shit
He actually did quite a bit, he just wasn't a programmer.

>This
Despite my opinion of Apple, Jobs was a marketing genius. To be able to sell those pieces of shit at double the price makes him worthy of respect.

> just shaved your legs
> have to do something in the server room

If it weren't for Jobs, GUIs would be nothing more than a meme, that's a hell of a contribution.

That fat blue hair dike that nobody likes and cant code for shit who is promoted project manager and becomes pure cancer for everyone because muh diversity, muh ovaries in tech

>tech pet peeves ITT
you can't download viruses onto my thumbdrive because Macs don't get viruses and they just work

Glad that meme is ending all abruptly.

Does the same thing.

Windows babbies

what if the ethernet cable is plugged into the router you little faget

Then you aren't using wi-fi to connect to the interwebs.

When people put the windows recycle bin anywhere but the bottom right corner of the screen.

You're only pretending to be retarded right

thanks man

>pronouncing "gigabyte" as "jiggabyte"

Back to racist asshole

>fag not knowing what OCD is

Fuck off faggot

>Guy thinks wifi interferes with bluetooth

After crapbook shitting itself when using USB and wifi at the same time I will believe in anything.

Not a tech pet peeve but,

>The state of YouTube:

>"Before we start the video, be sure to like this video and subscribe to my channel and click on the bell icon for more content"

Never heard "gib" but I work some people who just say the letters.

"This computer has 8geebee ram"

>dev is not transgender

You could complain about that all day
>Every recommended video is a "Top Whatever List" or similar clickbait, I don't remember ever clicking one of these and no amount of removing them from feed seems to give YouTube the idea I might not want to watch them
>Five minute commercials
>Removing features, waiting long enough that most people forgot about it, then reintroducing them at a price so people feel more comfortable paying

>Every time I click on "Trending" and have to lower my opinion of my species.

I know a guy that thinks a waterproof buletooth speaker will play under water. When I told him it won't work he got mad and said the guy that sold it to him lied.

When I asked why he would want his speaker to play under water, he had no answer.

It's almost like people can't think for themselves or something.

>>Five minute commercials
uBlock

So what, water stops bluetooth?

People who think Linux is inherently more secure because no one writes malware for 0.2% of the desktop market share

This

Well, it doesn't have backdoors left by vendor that somebody can use to fuck you up.

>vendor
I meant MS, vendor is probably the wrong word.
