I just built a multi-node NAS for my business and it has a more intuitive and polished interface than my television. I almost entirely stopped watching television simply because making it work correctly is not worth the effort when I have YouTube and Netflix on my phone or iPad.

I miss the days when apps would actually tell you when something went wrong instead of silently failing.

Or, when it does tell you something is wrong, it doesn't just say "An error occurred", it gave you a message you can Google to troubleshoot.

Norman's "they probably won a design award for it" rant about bad UX has (if anything) become more relevant today.

What, you mean expecting my users to write properly formatted RFC 5322 messages is unreasonable?

(... I mean, if it was for mass use, yes, but I've only ever done that for tools for my own personal use)

All the better to control people. Modern tech is infected with authoritarian control freaks whome are obsessed with 'Managed' everything
