There’s a massive delay to even open my control panel. Fundamental, easy tasks that I’ve accomplished reliably since Windows XP are no longer reliable. Multiple problems, I have no confidence anything will work.
Think of all the wasted time for so many millions of people around the world
Last week my television started translating programs into Spanish. No fucking reason. Far too much time wasted on a slow menu to fix.
Recently, I could no longer use necessary phone app with no-option utility; due to the latest Apple OS update, it would no longer function. Time for a new phone to replace my few-years-old phone.
A newer car from 2024… long story short, reflecting lights caused camera issues, triggering all sorts of driver vocal alerts like KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD. Off to the dealer. Later, updates change the user interface without warning; it’s like having all of the buttons on your dashboard rearranged spontaneously.
All of these issues are on modern hardware that hasn’t been modified in any way.
My apologies for losing my mind, first world problems. But it’s relentless
Dude of all the things I hate about modern tech, I think the most obnoxious one is that it STILL takes multiple seconds for a simple text-based menu to load. On my one TV, sometimes it takes so long to load that I actually forget that I’ve opened it and am annoyed when it finally shows up. Gotta save all that precious compute power to load ads and shit, I guess.
This is my last Windows laptop.
