(Like, in a bad way.)
- There is no browser today that has a history ux that doesn't completely epicly horribly bare-facedly blatantly stupidly mind-bogglingly festeringly suck. Suck suck suck suck.
- Ditto 'extensions' for browsers.
- HP laptops lack an inverted T for their cursor keys.
- Anything and everything about Android, especially the Gmail app, is perhaps one of the most deep and wide demonstrations of piss poor ux.
- All the UIs where the edges of the screen mean something if I accidentally swipe or touch around them e.g. iOS and Android overlays.
- The fact that the iOS Control Center doesn't have a button to get to the full Settings app. Can you believe Android scores a UX point here?
- Anything and everything to do with file systems. The documentation. The APIs. The failure to make distinct types in the programming language for paths, directories, and files. Let alone relative vs. absolute paths, or symlinks. Of course some of the suck of file system APIs in programming languages comes from the horribleness of the underlying file systems themselves.
- Pretty much any programming language. (For me of late: JavaScript. Java. Objective-C. K. Haxe.)
- Whoever thought AMD should have only one FPU for all those cores. (And whoever thinks an odd number of cores is good gestalt consumer design.)
- Smartwatches. All of them. (Especially the Toq.)
- Thermostats. Regular ones suck. Fancy ones (i.e. Nest) doubly or even trebly suck.
- WiFi. Still. After all these years. And don't get me started on Bluetooth.
- Glossy monitors.
- Anything claiming to be a gentle tutorial to Linux (oh, wait, sorry: GNU/Linux) for newbies. Especially anything about Raspbian.
- Most any app or game I have ever downloaded from the app stores.
