Best IT fuckups in the world!
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.
...in Windows Update, haven't you?
Now what, Bill? :>
...does exist! :>
Couldn't believe with my very own eyes, so I had to make a photo.
Among many other stupidities in OneDrive here comes this:
File is downloaded, but... not.
The second counter (bottom one, with smaller font) went from 0 to 1 019,5 MB in the exactly the same period as first counter (top one, with bigger font) doing the same. Then -- magic! -- The smaller counter got frozen 1 019,5 MB while bigger counter started counting from 0 to 1 019,5 MB again.
To make yourself (itself?) sure OneDrive decided to download everything twice! :>
It turns out that number of fuckups and wasted things in the new Google Calendar design gets bigger and bigger. Not only Google Morons introduced a lot of new shits, but also wasted something what was working pretty perfectly in previous ("old") version of Google Calendar!
Liked previous post? There's more to come!

A brand, new Google Calendar interface design has flourished recently.
Unfortunately, entire power of dev team was spared on changing look & feel. No significant changes in logic & functionality can be observed. Including, still absolute lack of drag-and-drop event copying. Again, Google Idiots failed to discover and develop this awfully obvious functionality!

There are two ways of deleting a message in Gmail. You can delete entire thread (by using Delete button) or just one message in it:
The second delete won't be replicated in mobile Gmail. You will see this message still appearing in given thread, just as you would ever delete it. You must purge Bin folder in order to get this message delete in mobile Gmail.
Another fuckup discovered in Android... and in mindless heads of Google dev fucks.
According to Chilizet (Polish Radio) website, Maya the Bee has a new friend.
It has a brilliant name. Richard...
According to fastmail.com ("SSL/TLS vs plaintext/STARTTLS port numbers" part) and thousands of other sources in the Internet (emphasis mine):
143, but SSL/TLS encrypted IMAP uses port 993.110, but SSL/TLS encrypted POP uses port 995.25, but SSL/TLS encrypted SMTP uses port 465.That doesn't count to morons who produced Microsoft Outlook 2010. They've decided that switching encryption method for IMAP between None to SSL will change port from 143 to 993 and back (correct!). While, doing exactly the same for SMTP won't change port at all.
This way Outlook is problably the only mail client in the world who is trying (unless you manually correct it) to establish secure, encrypted SMTP connection over port 25. An attempt which is doomed by its definition. Congrats again, Microsoft fucks!
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.
The stupidity of Power Point itself and all those fucks with "I'm working for Microsoft" tattooed on their foreheads is simply beyond imagination. You actually cannot change language of all PowerPoint slides at once. You have to:
Thirty years of PowerPoint's development wasn't enough time for MS-Morons to figure out that global change of language would actually be a useful functionality!
There is a third (next to this one and this one), quite pretty fuckup with HP printer's settings. Even though they have full hardware support for duplex printing, this feature (as good as many others -- like manual page feeding) comes disabled.
...continue reading "No duplex on duplex-enabled HP printers"
There is another (next to this one), quite pretty fuckup with HP printer's settings. This time not related to language or location, but to network configuration instead.
On non-DHCP networks printers cannot access Internet out-of-the-box because morons at HP didn't added DNS settings to touchscreen configuration menu.
When running my HP LaserJet Pro M426fdn for the first time I didn't removed touchscreen foil and my finger slipped over when selecting location of my printer. I ended up with having proper language but location set to Estonia and some reports (like Google Cloud Print configuration leaflet) printed in cyrylic (even though entire printer interface was set to English).
Unfortunately, due to extreme stupidity of HP engineers you are forced to perform a full factory reset of your printer in this situation.

In HP support you have to login, if you want to sign-in...
...and you have to login, if you want to register!
In order to create a new account you have to login to it first. Fuck me...
There's a huge weird bug in Polycom SoundPoint IP 331 PoE phones.
When changing display name using web panel you can enter space in it. This will be accepted, but after phone is restarted this will render in useless (many features not working; unable to call any number).
You'll be forced to reset your phone to defaults (see here for details).
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...
Facebook allows your page to have an "username". All you have to do, is to visit your page, to About section and hit Create or Edit in General > Username line.
And the only fukky thing is that this feature sometimes doesn't work at all...
As every nowadays airline, Air Berlin offers on-line check-in feature. There are a lot of stupid fuckups around this, but the biggest one of them is that on-line check-in may not work at all, showing you an empty error frame and leaving you with a dull guessing of what the fuck is going on...
...continue reading "Sweet fuckup with Air Berlin’s on-line check-in feature"
Well... I was trying to contact Air Berlin to ask them about some issue concerning my reservation. Finding contact form (after digging through some mindless FAQ) was an experience itself. But, when I actually found it, filled it up and tried to send my message then... CAPTCHA killed me completely.
The usage data collection policy, introduced by Adobe in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC may possibly be the one of the biggest fuckups in entire IT industry, when it comes to the terms of user privacy.
First of all, Adobe does not ask you, whether you'd like to become part of usage data collection program. So, there is no usual "Yes, I agree" checkbox or "No, I'm not interested" button. Adobe thinks, you're a lossless piece of shit and only kindly informs you, that you're part of this program.
But, there's a far more shit behind.

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!
When you're using some shared computer (i.e. university, hotel, airport etc.) and you want to get access to your Google services, you have four options:
Since you're cleaver user, you will most likely use Ctrl+Shift+Delete to purge browser out of private data. Great!
If you selected second option above (i.e. login to Google) then now you're really screwd! Next time you wake up you'll see your account completely purged out of all your private data.
