I’ve got two off the top of my head:
First is that the design of the USB drives needing to be oriented up or down was the result of a minor cost cutting choice. The inventor regrets it because it wouldn’t been easy made so that USB drives were reversible.
Second is the abundance of pointless SEO stuff on recipe pages. It would be a cool opportunity for the creator to add a personal touch to the recipe page beneath the recipe, but they pop in first along with ads and suggested links. And they’re so frustrating to navigate that they had to incorporate a ‘jump to recipe’ button.
unnecessary ‘‘smart’’ products
a few years ago our family got together to buy a new fridge for my grand grandmother and trying to find one without some bullshit ‘smart’ functions was a nightmare. no one needs to have their fridge connected to the internet, but especially not a 90 year old woman who barely understands what the internet is
seems like the smart trend has died off though thank god
It’s called the Internet of Shit and it’s fucking awful
They never think about security when implementing those awful things, either
There have been entire botnets made out of those e-waste generators
Chan-style creepy fucks easily hack into home surveillance systems so they can drool over babies in cribs and the like, too.
Fucking water pitchers are “smart” around where I am and it’s hard to find one with a filter system that isn’t some bazinga surveillance tech.
“Smart” TVs are also horrible and it’s nearly impossible to find them in any other form now.
