#I hate tech companies

[oifaaa]

The fact that we allow phone companies to get away with just straight up not including an essential bit of hardware needed to make the phone work and now has to be brought separately is completely atrocious

#If you can't tell #I'm pissed #Brought a new phone today #Bc my old one was dying within 2 hours of use #My first new phone since 2019 #And found out its not just apple any more that said fuck you you don't get a charging plug #But now samsung are doing it too?? #Bitch I hate it here #That combined with the lack of earphone port #I hate tech companies #My last phone was a hauwei #I wanted to get a new one of those #Only to find out they're now not allowed to be sold in the UK #Why???? #Bc they actually gave you a plug #I I hate it #At least my phone was relatively cheap #Can't imagine buying one of those 700+ phones #And not even getting a charger #I think I'd cry #Anyway #Vent #Kill me

THE FUCK IS THIS NEW LAYOUT AND HOW DO I TURN IT BACK?!?!? Someone please make a Firefox extension to fix this, please I'm begging you. This change hit out of nowhere and it is genuinely making me cry because of how upset I am. I just want to watch my videos in peace, this new setup is so fucking distracting and hurts my head to look at.

#youtube #youtube layout #youtube stop fucking with things #i hate tech companies i hate tech companies #why do they roll this shit out with no warning #its because they gotta prove they are 'innovating'

I could run MS office products on my last laptop no issue and now trying to use them it wants me to fucking pay for a subscription service??????? I hate it here, I hate technology, I hate subscription services, I'm going to throw all my tech in the lake and then myself

#im so fucking angry #at least let me just buy the product once if youre gonna make me pay for it at all #fuck off i hate every tech company in the world #august talking

Dude holy shitt the youtube slowing down users with adblock is real. I have a universal adblock, but I use youtube enough that i pay for the ad free version. and youtube still slowed down my site until I disabled the universal adblocker. youtube I give you money so i don't have to deal with this. why.

#yes it's stupid to pay for youtube premium #yes i do it anyway #it's just so useful and i am so weak #m #i fully thought my computer was dying but it was just tech companies being actively hostile to human life #i hate it here

Pretty sure within this decade we're going to see crApple remove the physical charging port and/or onboard speaker from their phones.

"Why would anyone ever want to use wired charging when you could use our overpriced dock?"

"Why would anyone ever be without wireless earphones or our 'watch' that can be bricked at any time?"

"Surely vibrations alone are enough to alert you to a call."

#i hate this fashion company masquerading as a tech company so much #conspicuous consumption #where innovation goes to die

#The amount of rage I’ve felt while trying to factory reset this bitlocker encrypted laptop. If I worked in IT I would immediately unalive #myself. Every day I thank god I don’t work in IT.

Blows up the earth. I hate being the first to do anything #I had to create a bootable usb and then use command prompt to bypass the internet req for windows 11 setup and then my keyboard wouldn’t #work but fortunately our good friends at reddit have a soln to this.

need to shell out for a new laptop before the end of the year - for a lot of reasons but mainly bc support ending for win8.1 makes fixing the current beast rather pointless :/ (and. admittedly. there is a lot to fix. she's old and she has suffered.)

but my current beastie is from the last gen of laptops with a disc drive and the thought of using an external/usb disc drive is enough to make me cry tears of blood

#really though it is time to upgrade #and i hate to say it because she /runs/ fine it's all hardware issues w parts that can absolutely be replaced #but if i can't use it to run the programs i need then shelling out the money for those parts would ultimately be a waste #but also the fact that this machine that runs fine is no longer worth fixing bc some google-based bullshit just won't support win8.1 anymor #is ALSO a fucking waste & a pile of planned obsolescence bullshit! and i hate it! #but uh. even though she runs fine and she totally does. she does need. uh. #new keyboard (only 1/3 of keys work; currently use usb keyboard) #new trackpad ribbon cable (trackpad does not currently work; using external usb mouse) #new power button and connecting ribbon cable (turning it on involves opening it up and causing an intentional short-circuit every time.) #(a problem largely solved by simply never turning her completely off- except she also needs) #a new battery (current battery does not charge at all; machine needs to be constantly plugged in or it shuts down immediately) #...ok i might be the 'this is fine' dog about this #but i am still upset! that i will no longer have a disc drive inside my damn laptop. #that's the disc drive's natural habitat; that's where it should be; it's weird and offputting to have it connected via usb! #ack. why do tech companies fuck everything up. #and that's without getting into the way new devices offer less harddrive space so people will use the fucking cloud or whatever??? #yeah sorry no i'm not using your goddamn data mining corporate off-site storage i want to keep my shit on my own goddamn machine #go to actual hell if you're trying to sell me a pc with less than at least 500GB of storage i swear to fuck #...in essence you could say the whole process is leaving me rather grumpy

I want to grab the MCU by the throat and watch it attempt to escape while it slowly suffocates between my fingers

#i hate that they gave spidey stark tech i hate that they gave him allies immediately i hate that they made him. fuckin. #begging at the avengers' shoes even though he's supposed to be a loner i HATE THE SUIT STARK GIVES HIM I HATE THAT HE KEEPS IT #the mcu is INCAPABLE of doing anything right with characters. anything #this is not spider-man this is a lapdog proudly knocking over furniture in a depserate attempt for acknoledgement #SPIDEY IS SUPPOSED TO BE NEW YORK'S FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SUPERHERO. you got the friendly part down. kind of. now let's see the neighborhood #they sent him in the middle of intergalactic conflict. this is not teenage spidey's shit. #he doesnt usually follow iron man around like a leech #spidey #i have known spidey for the spicy amount of two whole months since the seven decades or so he's existed #but god i feel an irrepressible rage towards the MCU (which i already hated before i even started liking marvel) #(guess what ! the mcu made me think i hated marvel for a good while ! wHAT AN AMAZING FUCKING COMPANY) #its the black and white thinking talking maybe. maybe im prejudiced. who knows. no shame to mcu likers i just. sldhzkhdmabslsbKAVDKVDLSBAMWB #(bangs head on table several times) #this post was brought to you by the world's angriest toddler with a hyperfixation and a solid 'im right youre wrong' mentality

warning that it's april fools day and this is a PRO april fools day blog. i love silly ideas and temporary features. april fools day things will be tagged april fools day for those that deal with unreality. knowing that things are jokes is most of the fun! scares and frights are not appropriate april fools day activities!

#april fools day #those reacts?? i hate them! its so fun! #those reactions are an april fools day thing by the way! i doubt they will last past 48 hours - but who knows! #the crabs were an april fools day joke too remember! #and we love those! #tech companies using this day to suggest WILD unrealistic product ideas is my favorite part of the day! #they do it on this day because this is joke day! it would suck if they just did it randomly! i will hear no hate!

I'm not usually one for AU's- especially with Star Wars BUT i might indulge and make one for the Ghost Crew and The Bad Batch because I think it'd be cool :0

#like Zeb and Wrecker being gym buddies #and Kallus and Crosshair working in the same department(for the gross Empire company i guess???) and hating each other #tech and Sabine both working in graphics IT together?? #just thinking of maybes #sw rebels #sw the bad batch

27 years ago, the celebration was at a Burger King. That building is now a Korean barbecue place. Life is strange.

#not wanting to remember my birthday due to trauma #and I hate that these truly soulless tech companies exploit calendar-driven automation to manipulate you into feeling good #also birthdays can be really bad for some of us #and maybe assuming that *everyone* will enjoy these reminders is inconsiderate

I always think it's like. common and normal to hate Big Tech(TM) until I take a step out of my circle and find people are like "why don't you like using whatsapp" and "of course I use google as a search engine in my google chrome browser" and "yeah I love using google assistant and alexa" or "what's wrong with ordering from amazon?". Like I get having to use these things on occasion and in certain situations, but the whole bewilderment at why someone might rather not is what really slaps me in the face.

#i hate hate hate it when I've been around someone for some time and they suddenly start talking to Siri or some shit like #i want to know if someone actively lets tech companies listen to our conversations beforehand thanks #compsci #alllel posts

when "updates available" turned into "updates required" is when we should have blown fucking everything up

Ok actual last post everyone should stop wlrrying about AI art replacing industry jobs because they haven't even successfully fully automated cashier positions yet. Those are supposed to all be robots now.

#i still think its mostly all threats and big companies getting tricked by tech demos and shit #disneys gonna pay like a million dollars for a shitty ai generated script test audiences hate #or a bad looking movie nobody likes. like #ok gone now.
