This is a little experiment in getting complaints about technology out of my main account. See @fet for less-complainy stuff.

This is a book that I wrote

Here’s what happened when @sben tried to paste me some links in iMessage.

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

Did the gesture to open Notification Center on Mac. It got stuck halfway open and sat there like that while I continued working in other apps.

[Tim @amishelectric]

@fet_complains I was reminded.

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

@sben Maybe! Just too much fine complaint grist these days…

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

The _Touch Bar brightness slider_ is using more energy than anything else and causing my Mac to heat up

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

iPhone has been bothering me all day, saying that “The password for [my email address] is required” with no clue about which app needs it or what account it’s actually about. Apple ID, maybe? Kind of scary to have dialogs asking for passwords with no context.

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

Austin is right. I was confused because everything else I’ve seen in this menu is a process. Clicking it reduces the brightness. (But doesn’t update the Touch Bar brightness slider accordingly!) https://t.co/PX40Wiilg0

Oh. @fet_complains

[Zev Eisenberg @ZevEisenberg]

@fet_complains bonus complaint: invisible screenshot because it happens to be all white in the center.

[Tim @amishelectric]

@fet_complains OK

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

Security dialogs complain of plugins needing to be enabled in Security prefs; hit the button to open it; there is no such setting there.

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

Log in after installing High Sierra. Three different security dialogs, a notification, Mail Dock icon bouncing for no reason.

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

Close all windows in Preview. Each document jumps to the fore and spends a full second animating its save sheet into view, one at a time.

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

Command-backtick to switch windows simply doesn’t work anymore in a bunch of apps, including Safari

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

@tbunch Doesn’t seem to be that for me, but wow, what a silly thing

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

Messages

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

Finder column widths still get randomly reset to super wide. Has this ever worked properly since 2000?

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

iPhone X continues to vibrate at random times while I am using it, with no associated notifications

[William Van Hecke @fet_complains]

Touch ID prompt on Mac Touch Bar disappears five seconds before on-screen authentication dialog responds.
