And I am a professional software developer with 20 years behind the screen every day, learning how to tame it. And I didn’t include anything I did for work that day (VirtualBox alone can produce a list like this in 20 minutes). This all happened on a single random day! And not a particularly busy one. Infuse took 10 minutes to fetch ~100 file names from smb share.TVTime failed to mark an episode as watched.Twitter was cropping important parts of my image so I had to manually letterbox it.Slack loaded, I started typing a response, then it reloaded.YouTube fullscreen is disabled in an embed.Dragging an image from Firefox doesn’t work until I open it in a separate tab.Plugging iPhone for charging asks for a software update.Telegram stuck with one unread message counter.Hammerspoon did not load profile on boot.Magic Trackpad didn’t connect right away after boot, showed the “No Trackpad” window.In macOS context menu, “Tags” is in smaller font:.Workflowy date autocomplete keeps offering me dates in 2021 instead of 2020. ![]() 1 hour lost trying to connect 4k 120 Hz monitor to MacBook Pro.YouTube forgot the resolution I chose for the video, keep resetting me to 360p on a 750p screen.YouTube forgot video I was just watching after locking/unlocking the phone.Overcast widget disappeared while switching to another app.Passcode unlock worked for the third time only.AirPods showed connected notification, but sound played from the speaker.Workflowy cursor obscured by Workflowy toolbar, typing happened behind keyboard:.Wondered why my apps were not up to date, found nine apps waiting for manual button click.Shortcuts.app stopped reacting to touch for ~30 sec.AirPods just randomly reconnected during use.Race condition in keyboard in DuoLingo during typing.Instagram reset scroll position after locking/unlocking the phone.YouTube.app randomly scrolled to the top.iOS 14 discharged phone battery 80% to 20% during the night (no activity, much worse than iOS 13).Here’s the full list I wrote yesterday, September 24, 2020: To prove my point, I decided to record every broken interaction I had during one day.
