The "Pissed Off " Thread

Fucking computers.
One day something works the next day it doesn't.
Now I can't seem to see any streaming video.
Is this related to the windows update that took bloody ages and required multiple restarts ?
Why do they always "fix" things that weren't broken to begin with ?
I give up.

Had a bit of toothache, & received a phone call cancelling next weeks check up. New appointment is 8 months time. DIY haircuts I can do, but DIY dentistry is maybe a step to far.

The whole thing's shit.

First of all it was designed to break a code, in wartime. To do one specific job. Then, because of secrecy what Tommy Flowers learnt was hushed up. Some of fish is still subject to The Act. And then there's Verona.

So somebody else took up the mantle. Again for cryptography but also to compute trajectories and to run the first lottery. The budget wasn't so huge so it had to be for a purpose that would pay and so features got added to help the salesman.

The experts though, they're enthusiasts and were/are quite happy to have the output in base 32 because their arithmatic is that good. We loathe rebooting or updating or whatever but they love it.
Then somebody else thought to use it for the web which he thought he could sell and somebody else thought of a system and somebody else designed the hardwear and had it made by people who speak another language, are awake when we're asleep and whose politics aren't trusted.

If it were a car it would be designed more in house. You wouldn't have a BMW engine in a Ford. Even if you did it would be compatible because that's been done so many times. Also you'd have critics that get listened to like Clarkson.
Whilst all that's been happening they've become embedded in our lives and believed in and trusted even though we've all been let down and had our finger's burnt time and time again.

I have a Chromebook, I think that I've made the best decision I can because at least the system and computer is more like a car in that more of it's from one place rather than when I was looking out the window.

Dentistry in 3 easy steps -

1. Piece of strong but thin string.....!
2. Door knob......!
3. Balls to slam the door after tying string to offending tooth..... !!!??
4. Don't cry like a girl (i lied about there only being three steps)

Forgot the fifth one:
5 wash tooth and leave for the tooth fairy

Crack addict Sorry to hear that mate......

I'm pissed off when posts get deleted/removed, which can then make subsequent posts in the thread nonsensical.
