Best IT fuckups in the world!
Cisco truly knows their business when it comes Webex and its support...
The "big letters" (for stupid Americans and even more stupid Japaneses?) are not true. The "small letters" (for cleaver remaining part of the world?) are true. I've been using Cisco Webex in 64-bit version of Google Chrome for past three years with absolutely no problems.
I'm not surprised that people are using partner services like Booking.com to book a hotel, if they can find at other hotels that many that huge fuckups, when trying to book on-line, as they can find at Vienna House.
The sweetest one is given above. There are no free rooms starting from tomorrow even though there are starting from today?

...or how to easily loose your files.
Microsoft introduced .zip files integration with Windows Explorer in Windows XP. And starting with 2001 you could operate on .zip archives just as you do on regular folders. In theory...
From the very beginning it was one of the buggiest and wasted functionality across entire IT world. And the one of the most irritating flaw were stupid errors appearing when doing copy-paste operations on .zip archives.
Sixteen years later nothing has changed. Doing some copy-paste operations on .zip files in Windows 10 is the fastest way to loose your files permanently.

The confirmation dialog box from Sublime Text 3's updater:
And you know... everything!

Revolut is a great alternative to foreign payments and maybe even -- as its name says -- a banking revolution. Thus, it is even more sad that it hires morons.
One of these morons decided that it will be extra cool to let Revoult's mobile app add Send money and Request money items to your each and every contact:
Yeah, you've heard it. To each and every one. Even to those of your friends that know a damn thing about Revolut, never used it, never heard of it. Even to those of your contacts -- as above -- that aren't even people at all.
The same moron decided that it will not be possible to disable this feature!
Vivaldi is an interesting browser alternative with a very annoying bug in its updater.
It asks you, whether you're sure that you want to close Vivaldi and continue with the update... even, if Vivaldi is already closed (updater is the only running program):
And the biggest fuckup is that after update installation is completed, the updater always opens Vivaldi for you... even, if it wasn't opened so far.
...does exist! :>
Couldn't believe with my very own eyes, so I had to make a photo.
I was kind of surprised to see this in Total Commander 8.52a:
What "Try being more creative" error text is supposed to tell user?
I had a simple case. I wanted to rent a car for a week at Europcar. My initial attempt (to provide all the necessary details in an email and receive initial quote through this channel) was bumped with Europcar employee responding to me and advising me to visit europcar.com instad.
So I did. And here's where all the madness started.
audioteka.com is a quite well know audiobook store, offering audiobooks in 12 languages across 23 countries. They have a really good offer, a quite good software and an ability to play audiobooks on both regular .mp3 player or their own streaming solution.
And the only problem is that some of their developers are mindless idiots...
I just wanted to create a 4 minutes long home video in Sweet Home 3D:
But, it turned out that on my dual-core i3 with 8 GB of RAM it will be ready... within next 25 days (!), that is... after Easter!
I have upgraded TeamViewer to the newest version and... well... I was quite surprised to see, what TeamViewer 11 Remote Control can.

Well... sometimes you must tell your members a really honest reason, why you can't give them, what they're expecting to get!

Ever wondered, if someone could design a program, who is saving changes without asking user for a permission to do so? Well... the answer is yes! There's even more. You must pay hundreds of bugs for shit-software, that do things like that. You don't believe? Well then, take a look at Enterprise Architect 8's Project Browser tree.

I was forced to change browser to Opera after years of using Chrome. The key reason was an absolute lack of Chrome on Windows Mobile and the fact, that on Android it was one of the worst, lest stable and most buggy apps, that I ever used. However, as I may expect, Opera is also full of fuckups, that are only waiting...
SnagIt 8 is supposed to be somehow integrated with Skype, because it's uninstaller requires you to close Skype (among SnagIt's apps) before proceeding with uninstallation process. If you agree for an auto-close, you will be surprised to find out, that SnagIt's uninstaller is not only able to close Skype, but also... its own applications! I died laughing. How can any uninstaller not be able to close own apps (i.e. those, it is about to uninstall)? How can anyone design an uninstaller-like joke, which forces user to manually close all applications, that are being uninstalled?
If you change your website and some, old-time ago remembered, links stops to work, you must implement a permant redirect to new, working URL!
Failing to fulfil this simple rule may lead you into loosing your customers because no one want's to see some garbage, even when using old links.
Thus, this is very surprising that companies like eBay had fuckups like this!
The Pirate Bay (in cooperation with the Cybernorms Research Group -- researchers affiliated with the Lund University Internet Institute in southern Sweden) has made the third annual survey to "better understand file sharing people's needs".
On step four you can select continent, where do you live and on step five you select country in previously selected continent, where do you live.
Idiots at TPB and Cybernorms Research Group put:
So, if you select the latter one in step four, you have... two options to choose in step five: Canada and United States!
Surely, putting everything to one group, called "Americas" was beyond imagination of TPB or CRG morons.
Because:
I decided to use Git client bundled with Netbeans. I knew that (like everything in Netbeans) it is slow and may comes out with a strange things, but what I actually found was even bigger than I expected.

Since you go to a login page and click on Forgot username? link, you'll be redirected to... Forgot Password form, where you're asked to provide your... username!
Nice! :] I just love stupid people in the Internet...
I've applied to Toyota Motor Group. As with every international company, I had to create my own "jobs" account and fill application form.
During application process I found these two issues:
OMFG! When I saw these two, I thought that in Toyota it is still 1993, not twenty years later! After Intel this second big, international company, out of two, which jobs-application system or procedure contains such enormous fuckups.
I can't find anything that could explain this. What is wrong? The bigger company you deal, the stupider IT team they hire or the more idiotic IT services provider they choose?
One day I found a job offer at Intel that I could apply for. So I decided to do it.
What I have found in apply form was nothing else than a pure madness and fuckup after fuckup. I though that "great Intel" will provide me with perfectly working job application system. Turned out, I was wrong. The bigger company you're dealing with the worst job application process you're about to go through.
Remember that...
SPAM filter onboard Gmail is pretty good. Actually, I haven't got any problems with it (the same amount of false positives as in all other similar tools) up until now.
I receive a daily backup summary generated by my own server. Backup process runs every day at 3 p.m. and about half an hour later I get a summary e-mail. Since this is auto-generated message, its content is always nearly identical. Some filenames differs sometimes . It's been working for over a year. And for over a year Gmail has been accepting this e-mail without any problems and it always landed in my Inbox. Today, for the first time, I found it in my SPAM folder. Why? Gmail informed me that its content is very similar to SPAM messages.
Quite interesting. For over a year this e-mail hasn't been suspicious to Gmail at all. Of course, I have never marked such messages as SPAM manually. And all of sudden, after receiving about four hundred of them, it started to wonder if it might be SPAM.
