IOS updates randomly changing settings on your devices AND screwing up useful apps making them defunct. The former has driven us a bit mad. Better half and I have always shared the same ID since the earliest iPod days. It’s never been much of an issue because I have always had iPads and a non Apple phone and Missus has had an iPhone/iPads. With one of the updates recently every time one of us used chrome the others chrome icon would show activity and when chrome was next used on the other iPad it would open up the same windows. Irritating for us and the longer it has gone on the worse that has been. I am sure a bit awkward for some couples :) I doubt many share ids with partners these days but with kids using their iPads it might make for some awkward moments :)

Anyway, spent ages exploring Chrome sync settings on both devices and looking around IOS settings. Googled it etc etc etc but nothing was working. Eventually discovered that the Handoff feature had been turned back on, I assume in the last update. Pain in the a***. But if any of you share ids and have been getting funny looks after ‘dubious browsing’ it might explain it :)

Apple stuff is awful. Don't know why people persist with them.

Smoking neighbours. Had one for years and could never leave the windows open. I don’t care if this makes me a nimby

You could have stopped after the first word and the second word is a subcategory of annoyance all on its own.:wallbash:

Had never thought of this. It would drive me crazy. I get a little irritated when someone has a bonfire a few times a year, but every day :eek:

I'm with you on that. My military grade Blackberry is so much more intuitive. Had to use wife's spare iPhone for a week. What a piece of shite.
Use Macs in the studio, where it makes sense, but otherwise it seems to be style over substance.
The phone guy I had the BlackBerry serviced with began by laughing at it and, when I collected it, ended up wanting one.

Had an iPad for 6 months, that was 6 months of alternating between incredulity at what basic things it could not do, frustration at its lack of user ease and annoyance at its total uselessness at anything.

As you say, people seem to be wooed by style over substance...they also seen brainwashed into defending the useless pieces of shite...it's almost cult like.

I used a blackberry for a number of years and it was an awesomely practical device. Super reliable and just did everything I needed it to very well without plugging it in every 5 secs.

It was sad that it suffered from brand culture, and fell away. Replacement parts are ridiculously cheap now.
The interesting news is that its design patents have been bought out and a new model is expected to be out this year. It will have the beloved physical keyboard. I hope they get the pricing right. Meanwhile, my KeyOne goes on and on.

I have similar. Seriously thinking of burning my dogs shit in retaliation. Its got to smell better than weed.

Thought cigarette smoke was bad but weed.

Toilets.... frankly these modern water-saving ones, you know the ones that you basically need to flush twice, thus not water saving at all.

I changed my settings after this post to have Firefox ask me if I wanted to update.

Now for the last 3 says every time I open Firefix I get a pop-up saying an upgrade is available, do I want to download it (or words to that effect).

It is almost as equally annoying as just updating it without asking me...

You could just turn off those suggestions you know.

The first time I saw the tiny keyboard I thought that must be a nightmare but it wasn’t and tbf it was a lot better than this stupid iPad one.

How? I

I've looked without any success. I only see two options. Do it automatically or ask to do it.

But I'll look again.
