@NintendoUK bought Mario Kart for my daughters iPad but needs a Nintendo account. Trying to create one but there is no verification code in the verification email… Terrible UX. What next?

@Acresfield1 @NWATrust It was lovely to talk to such a brilliant group of children - so enthusiastic and inquisitive 🙂🙌🏻

@weiran Exactly! I bought three for their quality and (relatively) quiet operation, but this gets me every time!..

[Andy @andyuxd]

Which of these fan oscillation buttons rotates up/down and which is left/right? Ambiguous at best! 🤔

[Alan Cooper @MrAlanCooper]

I spent decades building business software. I am now coming to the conclusion that software should not be built for businesses.

Top work, team. 🎓🤓🙌🏻@uochester @UoCSciEng @VC_UoChester

Used some poor support systems before the @LGUKCare ticketing system is horrendous. Terrible email formatting, no obvious way to reply or provide screenshots. Not what I expected from a big brand and in stark contrast to the quality of displays! 🤷🏻‍♂️

@SophB74 @NickyAACampbell To be fair I’ve been listening regularly to this and he’s said several times he isn’t suggesting “all”. In my experience it’s a clear majority who don’t comply - on my walk each day I pass 10 regulars, 1 makes effort to go >2m, 3 adhere to 2m, and the rest don't known I’m there.

@Brittnibowering @jakek This! 🙌🏻 Surrender to the decision, but uphold your opinion🙇🏻‍♂️

[Andy @andyuxd]

Oh my goodness. I didn’t think a UI could get much more confusing than than opening Snapchat for the first time... Then... #housepartyapp 👋🏻

[Andy @andyuxd]

By the end of April. 🤞🏻

[Microsoft Teams @MicrosoftTeams]

We heard you! We're increasing the number of participants who can be viewed simultaneously on the #MicrosoftTeams meeting stage to 9. Rolling out soon.

@MaeveMarmion Tell me about it Maeve! Roll on next Easter! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Andy @andyuxd]

The power I felt knowing where the last Easter Egg was hidden this morning was incredible. The child found it inside the lawnmower after spending half an hour deciphering my cryptic clue #Easter 🐣

@DeborahMeaden Imagine lockdown without a dog. I can’t 🐶❤️

[Andy @andyuxd]

@ThomasReeve @andybudd Similar system here but wish I could rename the spaces. Only recently found out you could stop them from rearranging in settings, which bugged me for ages 👍🏻

[Andy @andyuxd]

Excellent 👏🏻

[The Federation @FederationMCR]

Really thrilled for @innovateheruk announcing their brand new online programme today. Solving real-world problems related to the pandemic using tech, the programme gives girls to chance develop their tech skills, guided by mentors from the safety of their own homes. So great!🏠👏

[Andy @andyuxd]

It’s obvious, but now that people are all using tools such as Teams, the time I’m saving acknowledging a point in a chat window via a simple microinteraction is insane. Far fewer emails along the lines of:

—Great, thanks.
—OK cheers.
—Appreciate it.
