Worst tech you've used.

[ChappyUK]

My Samsung packed it last weekend and in the interim work has supplied me with a Nokia windows phone. Seriously what an appalling bit of tech. Crashes every time I open Bigfooty.as it asks if you want to download the apple or android app.
Its like it cracks the shit for not being included and takes it bat and ball and goes home.

I looked up the issue and it has been around since 2014 and they still haven't fixed it. Unbelievable!

What other tech have you used or bought that truly sucks arse?

iTunes.

It has been modified (not upgraded) so often it is utterly illogical. Complete load of shit.

Camp Hill hotel late 1970s- what will they think of next.

Yeah its just so unnecessarily hard to use given its pretty simple brief.

The census website.

Windows 10 has given me much more than its fair share of pain since it installed itself on my computer. ****ing up drivers, slowing to a halt while it randomly decides to download the newest patches in the background while I'm trying to work, flaky wifi, etc.

Those early camera phones

They were horrible to use haha

www.afl.com.au

It still remains one of the worst websites on the internet, you'd think with all the money the AFL rakes in they could afford a decent web designer.

Wireless headphones for running - perhaps I have an unusually shaped ear but fk me if I can find a pair that will actually stay in while I run!

The AFL website used to have an incredible knack of making even the most up to date browser on the fastest connection on the most powerful computer freeze up. I imagine it still does.

My work's Intranet is pretty horrific considering it's 2017.

Certain models of the 1987 XF Ford Falcon

- Gutless 3.3 engine
- 4 Speed manual transmission - Needed an extra gear and no revs display on the dash I drove.
- Clock on the drivers side
- Did I mention the stupid idiotic dashboard display? LOOK AT IT!!!!
https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Ford-Falcon-1987/SSE-AD-4518186/?Cr=5
- Horn not in the middle of the steering wheel but as a button on the end of the indicator stick
- Easy to come off rear mirror when making adjustments
- No middle brake light or additional brake lights except for the two that share with the nighttime backlights. The only way a person could tell if you are braking at night is the lights were slightly brighter!
- Pissy little black door lock knobs that took a few goes to reach over and unlock at the best of times. Break easy too!
- Those flappy buttons around the steering wheel that had the rear demister, hazard lights, etc. They stopped working or needed to be wedged with something.
- Front dashboard need to be wedged with cardboard as well to stop the noise over bumps.
- Fuel nozzle located behind the number plate, instead of the side of the car. Who are they trying to fool???
- Middle compartment hinges located on the passenger side, making it difficult for them to access anything within. Easy to break too.
- If you had the radio turned on but volume low, the engine revving through the gears would vibrate through the speakers.
- That annoying ticking sound when the car was driving slowly, though that was a trait of that era of Falcon anyway.

Telstra's automated service when you try and call with a problem

 

[Gralin]

Do you blame the AFL or Telstra though?

Do Harvey Norman still use computers with blue screen and print receipts on dot matrix paper?

I bought a computer from Harvey Norman once. The frequency of the blue screen wasn't a welcome addition.

Myer still had the IBMs you see in 1980s/90s movies up until recently from memory.

Haha that is one ****ing ugly looking car! Always hated them, just for their looks.

Same problem. Ive got the Beats2 and they are fine if Im just walking around, but while working I have to tilt my head or lean over and theyre always sliping. I have to clean a 40 metre pool today and Im always worried they are going to slip off into the pool. I thought it was just me, and my shiny, silky hair.
