  1. I just renewed my vehicle registration/insurance. We have a provincial crown corporation here that has a monopoly on it.

    I ran into a problem with their "new & improved!" website [1]. I always do. This one is boring; like 90% of the issues I run into, it's because the developers have only tested the site with Chrome, and they're violating CORS policy (a security thing) so Firefox prevents a request trying to fetch part of the page contents. Chrome doesn't give a damn, it doesn't want to stop any trackers or anything.

    But the 🧑‍🍳 😘 in the whole thing is ... there are various "Feedback" links and buttons. I want to report the issue, so I try them, and ... they haven't actually provided the HREF attribute on the links/buttons at all. They are literally not hooked up to anything.

    Good testing on the new site, boys! You sure you didn't miss testing any of the functionality?

    [1] Why companies absolutely insist on regularly improving their websites into unusability escapes me. As I mentioned elsewhere, it's not like the HTML of the working site has a best-before date on it.

    Well, thank fsck for that.
