MSFINGT

it is "funny" how bad Microsoft office (including Teams of course) products really are. not just in big ways, but also death by a thousand cuts small ways.

(funnily enough, i think the iOS YouTube ux is a close second in terms of pure frustration.)

time keeping des ne

I was excited to get a Casio Wave Ceptr watch. But it turns out to be kind of a usability nightmare. And if you don't live within like 10 miles of Fort Collins, the radio sync feature is useless. Caveat emptor.

usability fails abound

The NLS Bard audiobook reader hardware is... at least for some use cases, completely terrible. Tragic, given how much content there could be made available. Fundamentally it needs to be updated to be an AI voice interactive chat bot, in this day and age.

aaaand OMFG google home speaker couce even with Gemini is dog shyte UX.

Blame! is the most bestest sci fi manga evar by far. Gantz! is a close second. Biomega was also not bad. But KoS was very meh for me.

> The first hour of play hits you with so much tedious factional politics it makes the opening crawl of The Phantom Menace look like Serious Sam. Most of the dialogue is people moaning about their bosses or their charges. Everything is broken. People are starving and miserable, bereft of doctors and medical supplies. It’s basically 2025 but in space.
