Bit of advice for the @Windows app dev team:
When you redesign an app, you're supposed to make it better, not more cluttered & confusing.
It looks like someone took an intro class on data visualization & decided to use every example from the whole semester.

Just how I wanted to start my morning....
Bad weather is coming to parts of Tennessee tonight. I'd love to get detail using the Weather app. But its radar capability isn't working.
However, the rotating ads are working perfectly.
Cramming ads into everything is another example of the #RustAgeOfSoftware

Wanted to examine some mouse settings. Search sent me to this program, titled "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center".
Problem is, there is nothing I can find here about the mouse. No menu, no controls, nothing.

Windows Weather app refreshed when I sat down to my computer this morning. It brought up weather for Washington, DC.
It was for Nashville when I went to bed last night, because that's where I am. Washington isn't on my list of cities.
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

The @SouthwestAir app for iPhone has become almost useless to me. It requires me to re-enter credentials every couple days. For good security, I use a long password that I don't remember, and the ID is my nine digit Rapid Rewards number. Inexplicable.
In beautiful Porto, Portugal this week for @NDCPorto. My two-day design thinking workshop starts tomorrow. I'll finish off Wednesday with Lies Developers Tell Themselves, including a couple of new self-deceptions from our current #RustAgeOfSoftware.

"Do you sometimes get the idea that mobile apps and web front ends are often rushed out without much thought or testing?"
Me: "Well, yeah. Because they are."

@ATT used to have a program called Call Protect. It worked fine and was easy to use. If a spam call came in, it was instantly available to report.
They replaced it with a piece of junk called Active Armor. Awful performance, confusing UX, cluttered interface
After a four month vacation, my Groove icon is back this week. Don't know why it disappeared, nor why it came back. #RustAgeOfSoftware
I'm reminded of the old saying in the software development world: Problems that go away by themselves can come back by themselves.
I guess my Groove icon is gone for good. Haven't seen it in a week, even after two reboots.

"Technology has gotten objectively worse."
Yes, it has, and this survey of examples doesn't even mention the bug problem that I usually tag #RustAgeOfSoftware.
It does include one of my peeves: touchscreens in cars.

Bad design and bad implementation are everywhere. This week, you can find egregious examples of both in the #MSIgnite2022 session scheduler page for mobile.
It's unusable. I can't tell that there was any design thought or any testing beyond a smoke test.

Here's a new one. In thirty years of using Notepad, this is the first time I've ever seen it lock up. Something to do with trying to print a text document from OneDrive. Replicated this - happened three times.
Printed text from Word instead. Worked fine.
I'm in Sweden this week at DevSum, so it means among other things that I get a whole new round of cookie permission requests. Here's the one from @disqus.
You can't tell on from off in the switches. #EvilByDesign? Sheer incompetence?

Today's entry is from the @LinkedIn settings page.
There are at least 3 settings on the page shown below that make no sense to me. The text is ambiguous. There is no hover or other means to discover meaning.
For example, "Service provider project updates"
#RustAgeOfSoftware
I'm trying to compose a comment in the Q&A section for one of my @LinkedInLearning courses. I've tried three times, there does not seem to be a way to get in anything that will function as a paragraph marker. All I get is one giant glob of text.
Windows 10 just rebooted for no reason I can tell. Update maybe. I wasn't at my desk.
So guess what? Image of the Day is back on in Edge. {sigh}

The #RustAgeOfSoftware doesn't just apply to corporate and mobile apps. In this video, Mazda cars were bricked by a signal from a radio station.
Spoiler alert: The Mazda in-car software crashed permanently because a file didn't have an extension.
