Replacing menus with QR codes was bad enough — now we have to scan a code just to figure out how much a bag of chips costs???
2.
Why must we download an app for everything? Just use those screens to show us the menu!!!!
3.
Only allowing the same brand of ink as the printer is also diabolical.
4.
Now, why on Earth does an oven need Wi-Fi?
5.
This oven requires Wi-Fi, an app, AND a subscription!
6.
Tipping culture is already out of control. Now we have to tip the machines we order from???
7.
Come on now. Why would I tip on something I did entirely online?
8.
Why does every app make it SO difficult to disallow notifications? Every time I open Snapchat, an alert comes up telling me to turn on notifications. I don’t want to!!!!!
9.
Once again…if you own something, you should not have to pay a subscription just to use it!
10.
This should be illegal.
11.
Please take me back to the days before our attention was monetized. I just want to get gas in peace!!!
12.
I long ago accepted that Amazon knows everything about me, but that doesn’t mean I’m happy about it.
13.
We shouldn’t have to pay for companies not to sell our data!
14.
Technology is also ruining our privacy in other ways.
15.
Not only are machines replacing us — we also have to deal with them going on “break.”
16.
Why does my car need a software update???
17.
Putting ads on a car screen feels genuinely dangerous.
18.
This also feels wildly dangerous and distracting.
19.
I am so done with ads.
20.
Are we safe from advertising anywhere???
21.
Maybe this is a hot take, but IMO, you should NOT have to pay a subscription to use your own printer.
22.
I don’t know if I’d call forcing ads on us “free speech.”
23.
Why does everything require a paid membership these days, and why are they all shady as hell?
24.
Shady!!! Shady, shady, shady!
25.
So is having to win a debate to cancel that subscription.
26.
Online support chats are supposed to make things easier and save you time waiting on the phone…but that’s not what happens in reality.
27.
In fact, it can be more infuriating than being stuck on hold on the phone.
28.
I’m getting genuinely worried about people’s media literacy. The number of people falling for fake AI pics is scary.
29.
There are two sides of the AI issue when it comes to essays: students plagiarizing using AI, and teachers using AI to claim students are plagiarizing. Both suck.
30.
What’s even worse, though, is teachers using AI to teach. What kind of example is that setting?
31.
Just in case you didn’t know, AI is NOT a good source. See below.
32.
It’s frequently contradictory.
33.
Like, very frequently.
35.
These always pop up at the worst possible time.
36.
Because TikTok is an essential app, apparently.
38.
Look how many AI pics come up when you search “baby peacock.” There needs to be an option to exclude these.
39.
As if the job application and interview process weren’t bad enough, now we have to chat with AI bots!
40.
Ah, the joys of talking to a computer instead of a human.
41.
Wow, AI robots are so helpful!
42.
They won’t even be upfront about whether they’re a computer or not!
43.
Two-step verification has gone too far. No one remembers these details!!!
44.
The hoops I must jump through just to unlock my own devices…
45.
Electronics do not always make things better!
46.
Bring back real art. 🙁
47.
And good ol’ paper homework.
48.
Why does a washing machine need data???
49.
And why does public Wi-Fi need your household income???
50.
Free Wi-Fi always comes with strings, though. And I swear, every time I uncheck “receive emails from this brand,” I end up getting emails anyway.
51.
And finally…just hire people again. I’m sick of this.
