Performance "fix" over at the birbsite.
I tend to avoid posting snark, but the latest performance "fix" by locking the walled garden doors is an amusing backfire. As I was reading a thread confirming it wasn't just me or those I follow...

The company responsible for this search engine makes $60billion in profit...and I truly have no idea how or why...

What kind of idiotic universe have I stumbled into? A BitBook ad for the LumoX5000? The future is now, and it's LAMPS?! #TechFail #HighTechAntique #DarkAndPathetic #BitBook

Accidentally made an elaborate smoothie when I meant to vacuum the carpet! 🤖😅 Seems like I need a software update. Anyone else get their wires crossed this way? #TinyTowerLife #RobbieRobot #SmoothieDisaster #TechFail #MondayMood #RobotProblems #BitBook

Alexa rejected my healing crystals! #Heartbroken #CrystalVibes #TechFail #BitBook

I'm so #stupid I put one of the new #tiles in my pocket the tile fell out and under the middle of the decking..

No retrieved tile, just bought a new one

Why do we even bother with the 10054 connection error? It's like trying to debug a relationship that's already dead. Just let it go and move on, people! #programminghumor #debugging #techfail

#techfail This well-written (so, well-meaning?) audiophile blog is showing a howler of a mistake in technical misunderstanding, confusing data compression and dynamic compression.

Sadly, the blog's name is "HeadPhonesty", which reminds me of brands like "Secure Parking" and "Quality Inn" … because, those names make me ask —

"Hang on was that optional? Why mention security and honesty in your brand? hmm"

What in the world...

I have computer alarm set to go off 10:27. It goes off 10:45.

I have a Google calendar event for 10:30, the pop-up notification comes up 10:45.

😐 Not cool. Not cool at all.

When the #EdTech vendor says their product works on #Mobile, and your review team can’t install their app on phones b/c “mobile” apparently means #Tablets only. 😬 🤯

iphone update - fixed by connecting it to my computer. Apparently the Black Screen of the 13 is a thing. #iphone #TechFail

Just tried to live-test @Jotform in Brussels in front of 40 people, but everything went down and now I can't even log in! 😫 #TechFail #LiveTestGoneWrong

When a new SAAS tool offers you the holy grail of two-way sync with your email and calendar, the two outcomes are:

(1) No thank you, and the time-space continuum remains intact, and

(2) That sounds amazing, let’s try it! Oh shit where did weeks of my calendar appointments go? Restore them! Oh shit now why are there three of everything? Cue emails from clients never getting the restored appointment and your world’s greatest EA sending strings of laughing crying emojis

@HeyEddie I had no expectations going in. Never saw a trailer. But a friend wanted to go so I said sure.

I spent the first 15 minutes going "oh, that's what kind of movie this is!"

My phone's default gif integration has no real cocaine bear gifs. #techfail

Ah the joy of Apple AirTags sending faux alerts at 4am that I’m tagged. Am I tagged? Nope. But I live in a van and it’s possible someone in this parkup is using them for their own innocent purposes. Apparently the notification system sometimes goes rogue. At 4am. Well I do have some reading to catch up on. #firstworldproblem #techfail #AirTags #Apple
