As far as phones go, the Razor Phone 2. It hurts to hold for too long.
My label printer. Horrible UI. How do I switch to capital letters? How to numbers? It can print two small lines instead of one, but how? It also has bold, italics, underline, but getting there is a game of trial and error.
And the display is not WYSIWYG, but just five or eight characters. You never know what you will get when hit the print button. And you cannot save labels you successfully designed - it just remembers the one in the system when you switched it off.
Any phone larger than my 2016 iphone SE. I have a fairphone and it’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a phone but it’s SO BIG. It has a one handed mode, but that turns itself off whenever you tap the back button, which is so annoying it’s making me aggressive. I used to lie in bed, chilling, looking at memes with one hand while the other arm was cosily under the blanket. That’s a thing of the past. I also can’t rest the hand I have chronic pain in because I always need to use both hands to not keep dropping my phone and reach all of the screen.
I’m the opposite as my hands are big af
It’d be nice to have variety to choose from so you can suit your needs. But I guess fulfilling everyone’s needs isn’t profitable.
I dread when people ask me to help them with their phone because they’re usually tiny as hell 🤣
I’m left handed. What’s the character limit around here, 'cause I have much to add.
Did you love those college desks? Lmao when I was in college ironically they only had left handed ones. If only we had full desks that were for whichever.
Maybe I’m lucky, but at the community college I attend I have never had to sit at a desk. Only tables. As a left handed person, I am pretty happy about that, even though I have not had to write much because computers/laptops.
Windows on my family members’ devices.
I’ve been in Linux land for so long now that I’ve forgotten windows’ idiosyncrasies… rather they’ve changed since XP.
Everything is hidden/obscured/cryptic. Just recently I needed to my account on my child’s laptop, no way on the login screen to do that. Just their account visible. Turns out that is a feature and requires three different registry settings to disable according to MS’s appalling community support.
Not THE most cumbersome, but any time I’m at a friend’s place or visiting my little brother and we play on their Nintendo Switch consoles, I’m so surprised by how stupidly slow and shitty the OS is. Especially the store is so fucking bad.
I buy codes from Amazon if I’m buying digitally lol
Probably a forklift, those things are heavy af.
Off the top of my head a Fuji FinePix S5700 I had borrowed from a friend for some time (that was more than 10 years ago). That thing was doing continuous focus while on and idle, and it would lock focus when you half-press the shutter button - so completely backwards to what you’d normally expect from a camera.
The first time using a zweihander.
I just thought of the zweihander and long swords in general in Rune Factory 4, and how slow and cumbersome they are lol, my least favorite weapon type
A continuous passive motion machine.
I had arthroscopic hip surgery to repair a cartilage tear and shave down some bone overgrowth. For 3 weeks after surgery, I had to put my leg in this machine for an hour four times a day. It slowly bends and straightens your leg, which is supposed to help stave off scar tissue formation inside the hip. And it was rough. I needed my husband’s help to get strapped into the thing, I could never find a comfortable way to position my leg, the thing was noisy as hell so I couldn’t nap while I was using it, and I was lying flat on my back so it was hard to read a book or watch a show without hurting my neck. It sucked and I was so glad when I was cleared to stop using it.
A carpet cleaner. I had to prepare a previous apartment for showing (it’s a long story) & there was quite a bit of dust on the carpet
Could just be I’m stupid, but I was not prepared for how involved such a machine is… to be fair it is meant for professional use, so I was probably just not properly trained for it
A single-furrow plow that was built so that it had to be pulled by a horse.
We didn’t have a horse (it was about 50 years too late for that), but we did have a small tractor, and somehow hitched the thing to it. My father drove the tractor. And then I had to guide that plow with a very firm hand. We needed it to dig a drainage ditch on the already flooded plot. It was the only way to do that. Any other machines would have been too heavy on that wet ground. After a day of hard work with the feet deep in the water, it was done.
Any smart TV. Please just let me have a TV without having to navigate spyware or the sluggish UIs.
I truly don’t understand how to use an apple computer. It’s terrible to use.
Designed by a stupid hippy that died to a somewhat survivable cancer because he was a fuckin moron.
He had some good ideas for sure, but the man himself was just manipulative twat. His products are insufferable to use. Even as an apple certified repair technician for years I despise everything about apple and it’s many products.
How do you screw up the most basic fundamental things like window management and a basic file explorer, I’ll honestly never understand.
Feels so slow too, no matter what you’re doing, finder windows slow, opening closing apps, just moving the mouse around takes forever.
Uses the same commands as Linux
Maybe CMD, but not GUI and actually using it.
Windows 11 in a corporate environment , Jesus wept, what a fucking disaster of a system. It just gets in your way.
