  • Apple Watch 7

    The health app is wonky. When it checks your vitals it vibrates. Think about this, you are wearing the watch at night and it vibrates which wakes you up. Stupid.

    Apple Music, here’s another one, let’s say you have your watch tied your phone and a Bluetooth speaker connected to the phone. Then use the phone to start Apple Music and stream some music to your Bluetooth speaker. The watch will tell you what song is playing that’s good.But let’s say that you want to use the watch to choose a different playlist. It won’t let you. It will claim you don’t have any device connected to the watch to play music. The watch should be telling the phone, but it never will. I don’t know if this is an Apple Watch or an iPhone issue but either way it pisses me off.

    Voice to text works great on the iPhone when trying to send a text message. Half the time won’t work on the watch. It willclaim you said one word when you said a different word. Why don’t I just text like most people do ? because I’m a super slow Texter with my thumbs and it’s much faster for me to hit the microphone.








  • The absolute crap interfaces that are being developed for electronic devices. There’s no reason for them to be as bad as they are at this point. They were getting better and better going from say 1996 until about 2005. After that they just started dropping off fast. The last few years they’re just atrocious. And there is just no excuse. I know it annoys people when I say it, but as far as I’m concerned, the people who develop these interfaces, when they get up in the morning, they do lines of crack until their brains just about explode. Then they go to work and say this would be a cool idea even though the rest of the world looks at and goes. What the hell?

    There’s no logic in the interface no common sense that you can use to use them.

    And the target/hit boxes are becoming so small if you have any sort of muscular issue good luck on ever using it.

    The developers, the executives the companies do not give a crap. Their attitude is if you don’t like it just buy something else. The problem : that’s the way it’s all being designed so you literally have nothing else to buy.

    Then you have the consumers , their attitude is basically you have a choice. You don’t have to buy it. Which is a completely moronic statement.

    My response is basically I’ve stopped buying things. Unless I absolutely have no other choice I just make do with what I have and the world go screw itself.

    I watched my mom try to tap an icon on the screen seven separate times before it would actually activate. think about that , seven times just to activate whatever she was trying to touch. That’s stupid. So I literally knelt down right next to the table and watched herfinger very carefully, hit the screen and come up. The problem was her finger was moving by just a few pixels. So it was counted as a drag. Who the fuck thought that would be a idea? I mean, I could understand if you touch and drag, like a distance on the screen OK well that’s dragging. But that incredibly tiny amount? What jackass thought this was a good idea.? If your finger so much is twitches, it won’t count it as touch. It’ll count it as a drag and it won’t activate.








  • 20% for excellent service.

    It goes down from there. Yes zero tip is acceptable if the service sucked. If I ordered medium rare steak and I get well done steak. I normally won’t deduct that from the tip since that is a hard one for the server to see. But if it’s something they could have seen and didn’t fix, yeah I’m probably reducing the tip.

    The tip is for service above and beyond, not a required part of the bill.
