  1. Wow, just amazed wow, Insta360’s studio app is set to a minimum width for the app that is too wide for my laptop screen. That seems avoidable as fuck. #baddesign #badUI #insta360

  4. What's up with the weird word by word pseudo-typing way that "AI" responses appear on the screen?

    It's as if the design is aiming to make it seem more human than previous generation chatbots, and yet that's not how replies appear *in any other context*.

    What's up with that?

  9. A while back I got a new digital 'scope. The one I'd been using was okay, but only 8-bit and had some other limitations. The vertical resolution was actually starting to make it difficult to get accurate-enough readings of some things I was working with.

    The new one is 12-bit. That is likely to be better than I will ever need. I'm happy with it. Being several years newer (and a different brand) it brings some new #features to the table.

    One is that you can use it as a digital logic analyzer - it can sample a whole lot of inputs (rather than just 4 analog channels) quickly if it only has to tell on from off. But you have to get a whole lot of #signals into the #scope before you can do that, so you need a #connector with a lot of pins/signals.

    You could use something standard for this type of application (which is still going to be a limited-audience part), or a custom thing, but those options are expensive. So instead, if you're the manufacturer, you find a common (and therefore #cheap) #connector with lots of #pins, and you re-use that. Done and dusted!

    They picked ... the HDMI connector. It's there at the bottom of the middle of the control panel. And in the manual is the prominent (not) warning:

    > WARNING: Non-standard HDMI interface, Siglent device ONLY, or you will damage your device.

    Yes, if you plug anything HDMI-related into this obvious #HDMI port, you will cause damage to your 'scope, or your other device.

  14. It’s crazy how mad this ‘left click to pan’ is making me. It’s profoundly stupid, with ‘right click to box select’ being the diarrhea icing on the shit cake.
    Like, it’s making me so mad I just don’t want to learn this fucking software. My index finger hurts from left clicking and dragging because it’s _all you do_ in this cursed UI.

  24. Once upon a time I created a Sephora account

    Trying to log into it now, they have different validation on sign in than when I created the account, preventing me from logging in with my password

    When trying to reset the password, it incorrectly validates my email address because it's not one of the 4 TLDs we used in 1990

    Don't be like Sephora

  29. And today I finished the annual "if you aren't gonna die you gotta pay taxes" ritual. I've taken over from my wife who had been doing it with TurboTax so I keep that going even though it's a bit pricey. I hate filling out forms and scanning PDFs in is a breeze.

    On the minus side, every fourth fucking screen was an upsell attempt for something called MAX.

    Every.

    Fourth.

    Screen.

    Come on guys. They also have a few misleading "click this box" places where a purchase is next to an acknowledgement of "yes I read this required verbiage".

    Come on people. #death #taxes #intuit #badui

  32. YouTube search is literally unusable now that they removed date sorting in search results.

    I mean, Seriously?

    The first thing I did after searching in YouTube was to sort by date. I have never used any of the other filter options. Not even the facets that remove search results.

  36. Perhaps I've missed something somewhere, but for me the number one really horrible user interface issue with mastodon on the web and with the tusky app that I use on my phone is repeating videos.

    If I want to watch a video I will click on the play button.

    If I want to watch it again I will click again.

    I *never* want videos to repeat endlessly.

    Never.

    Is there a hidden off switch for this horrible feature? Anyone out there know how to stop it?

Washing machine decides it's finished when you open the door to take out your clothes, not when it finishes its cycle and is ready for you to open the door to take out your clothes. Feature turns out to be less useful than initially expected.
