Still, a large number of compromised accounts on the system.

Android notifications. I've seen the notification. I've opened the app and dealt with the thing already. Why does the app continue to show a dot? Because there is a notification in the tray..

Thats a real annoyance. Also if there are 10 notifications from something like facebook and you have gone into the app and looked at them all, they do not disappear from the phone.

 

Also the calendar ones that say "Blah is due in 1 day" but the notification is 2 days old and the thing has passed. Why can't they go away? Its why I get notification fatigue on there and end up ignoring things.

I don't use Instagram much but it has notification stupidity too.

 

Notification: Fred wants to follow you.
Me: Accept.
Notification: Fred started following you.

Banks that want to send you a text message to confirm an online payment - particularly more annoying when you can't receive them. 🤬🤬

I got hit by a supersonic leaf while watering the seedlings. Not so much annoyed but disappointed. Be better Thor.





Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Receiving a renewal notice for our ageing dog's Pet Insurance. 

20% co-payment, $250 annual excess: $3k for the year! 

Thank the stars that the dog was free all those years ago!

Getting a window broken by the wind pulling off a satellite dish. Thankfully the building contractor will be arriving pretty quickly.





"I regret to say that we of the F.B.I. are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce." — J. Edgar Hoover

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

Microsoft Teams

 

 

One of the most annoying things about it is that other people use it. Let me clarify what I mean by that. My team has - for around twenty years now - advised that all requests should either be sent to email address X or submitted using form Y. But the moment Teams appeared, people started tossing requests in there instead. We have never told people to do this.

That's bad - hard to trace or apply any control to. Should actively ignore such requests - should soon stamp that nonsense out.

 

But it is not Teams' fault. 

 

I have to use it as it is the project's standard for meetings, chats and calls and it seems to just work so have no complaints.

I find anything online that sends invitations to be annoying. Crap like purchasing systems where instead of sending a PDF, I get a link to some offshore product that I have never heard of to get the file, which then starts to want to do captchas and stuff and probably redirect thru some link tracking thing that gets blocked by the adblock list.

 

F off, email what you want to me instead of using some cloud crap.

Teams is the under35's collaboration tool, in as much as email was for us when we were younger.

 

Email beat fax, hands down... and you could deal with the email (and fax) when and as best you could. 

 

Now with Teams, and other collaboration tools, it's in yer face and demanding replies. They can see you've read the damn thing, and if you haven't replied in 4.5 minutes , there's a following up message asking as to why you didn't answer the original message ...
