According fanboys MacOS is supposedly this marvel of usability.
So I've got bluetooth headphones. No visual indication whether they are connected. Could hit volume buttons, but there is no sound feedback either. So it's either couple mouse clicks on tiny buttons, or play something and be ready to disturb people around.
Yes, fanboys, I know it's headphones problem, not your beloved OS problem. I claim otherwise.

I need to do a mail merge through my school account (which is gmail). Handily, they have a concise help page on how to do this:

support.google.com/mail/answer

The problem is that the help page instructs me to click on an icon that doesn't exist.

Legendary onboarding by Meta. New AI feature growth engineered into my list of chats and I can't even interact with it.

Went to file my state periodic report for my business today and was instructed to file with the federal FinCEN database (financial crimes enforcement). I go fill out pages of forms and submit my information, and I get this alert message…

*AFTER* I went through the whole process.

A long-winded message to inform me that domestic companies are exempt from needing to fill out the form I just filled out.

Fair nok hvis oplysningerne ikke er blevet digitaliseret eller migreret, men så skriv det istedet! #uxfail

Meta er igen ved at indsamle passivt samtykke til at de må bruge data til deres GenAI-løsning.

De skriver at jeg kan gøre indsigelse og hvis jeg allerede har gjort indsigelse behøver jeg ikke at gøre det igen. Det ville virker mere troværdigt hvis de skrev at jeg *havde* gjort indsigelse. #uxfail

Ouch, la taille des sous-titres qui ne s'adapte pas à la taille de l'écran sur le lecteur vidéo des TED Talks. C'est illisible...

Capture d'écran du site TED Talks. Je regarde "This is what a digital coup looks like". Une personne sur scène parle, avec une photo des techs bros derrière elle (Zuckenberg, Bezos, Musk...). Le sous-titre affiche "It's broligarchy"La même vidéo, mais en plein écran. Le sous-titre affiche toujours "It's broligarchy" mais c'est tout petit

Normāls UX feils — nolikt simkartes atvilktni blakus mikrofona caurumam. Kā jūs domājiet, kurā caurumā es vispirms iebakstīju ar saspraudi? Un esmu pilnīgi pārliecināts, ka es tāds neesmu viens. #uxfail

DSL-Anschluss bei Vodafone bestellt. Telekom schickt eine SMS mit einer "Umfrage", wo man den Namen des Vormieters in fünf Schritten eingeben soll:

1. Kennen Sie den Namen des Vormieters? (Ja/Nein)
2. Nachname
3. Vorname
4. Anschlusstermin vorziehen? (Ja/Nein)
5. Anmerkungen

Die "Umfrage" hat keine Möglichkeit, zum vorherigen Schritt zurückzukehren (z.B. wenn man bei 2. den vollen Namen eingegeben hat)! AAAAHHHHHHHHH!

Microsoft war mal Vorreiter bei UX & Usability. Die Älteren unter uns erinnern sich noch.

Dieses Fenster kommt beim PC-Start und enthält keine klickbaren Elemente.

❌ Angemessene / dynamische Schriftgröße
❌ Textumbruch
❌ Scroll-Leisten
❌ Kontrast und Ausrichtung des Fenstertitels
❌ 1px-Rahmen zum Vergrößern

Das muss wohl dieses Copilot-Vibe-Coding sein!

(ja, dieses Windows ist auf 100% Textskalierung eingestellt!)

#ScreenshotSaturday #UXFail #Usability #Microsoft #VibeCoding

Modaler Dialog von "Microsoft 365 Copilot". Der Titel ist teilweise hinter dem Microsoft-Logo versteckt und teilweise zu lang für die Text-Seite des Dialogs. Die Text-Seite enthält Werbung für Copilot in Form von Stichpunkten. Es gibt keine Buttons abseits der Fensterleiste. Der Fenstertitel ist falsch ausgerichtet und blau auf grün.

Whoever came up with the idea of showing video controls only on touch: have you ever tried to seek? It's an incredibly frustrating user experience if the controls disappear before you can touch them or disappear when trying to drag. #UXFail

#facebook allows you to choose up to year 3024 as your birth year during account setup. 💩 #uxfail

WTF preventing copy and paste in a password field is bad. But have you ever encountered copy and paste disabled everywhere 😲? (Actually, everywhere apart from password fields)

Meet scrum-master.org/en
They also seem to disable the context menu in general 🤮

National Rail website. Return fare. Leaving on Wednesday. Returning on Wednesday, last train. "Invalid time".

After some thought... Apparently "last train back on Wednesday" finds 01.30 *on Wednesday morning*, which is before 11.30, and so it's considered an invalid time for the journey, and the whole thing refuses to work with no reasonable explanation.

:catfacepalm:
