@jfversluis A fair play time app for youth soccer. I also built app to OCR food labels looking for ingredients made from corn since I have a food allergy. The apps are for my own use.

Hey #contadina,

WTF? What kind of QA does your company employ?

[Michael Gerfen @mgerfen]

@UPMC patients. So much wasted time for all involved which ultimately results in higher costs for all involved which is shameful.

[Michael Gerfen @mgerfen]

@UPMC I'm still waiting for someone from your management team to call me so I can make some suggestions to fix your utterly broken corporate culture. I spent a miserable two days advocating for my father, stuck in between your organization and an out of ...

@UPMC network surgeon. I was fortunate to eventually find a self-motivated employee who helped me get an EKG ordered but it took way too many hours and multiple phone calls to get it done. It's pretty sad that many of your employees do not feel empowered to help and advocate for ...

@madskristensen Fix the CLS command on the Terminal window so that the wind is actually cleared. Also fix the overlapping terminal output which occurs when executing multiple commands. I suspect the two issues are related.

@shanselman @AnkerOfficial Dammit! indeed. I just recently purchased the 140W version. Love it but would love the 240W version more.

Hey auto correct developers, I know I'm a lame typist but why can your algorithms not distinguish between 'from' and 'form' in a sentence? Mistyping 'form' for 'from' is my number one typo. Every. DAMN. Time!

@l_anceM @EdCharbeneau @csharpfritz Try deleting the .vs folder and restarting Visual Studio. That works for me when hot reload stops functioning.

@google @Android Why can I not remove a phone number/contact from a group SMS? It's 2023 and I'm forced to use an external app like @Microsoft's excellent Phone Link app to manually recreate the group.

@fishontherun2 I have an allergy to corn and I can tell you it is very difficult to buy processed foods that do not contain corn. Corn syrup, maltodextrin and chemicals derived from corn are in the majority of processed foods. I have to read the ingredients label on every item I purchase.

@ProvidencePlan I'm trying to set up my recurring payment and the website does not recognize my subscriber ID. This is going from bad to worst. I have wasted 4 hours of my own time trying to resolve this. As a self-employed person this has really hurt me on many levels. Really disappointed

[Michael Gerfen @mgerfen]

@ProvidencePlan I received 3 emails today telling me that my automatic payments have been cancelled. I have been on hold for over 3 hours and have been sitting in your chat queue for over 4 hours. I didn't initiate the cancellation of my auto-payments. What is going on?

[Michael Gerfen @mgerfen]

Did no one in you organization think about sending out an informational email letting your subscribers know this was going to happen? Thanks for wasting hours of my time.

[Michael Gerfen @mgerfen]

@ProvidencePlan So I just learned you switched to a new payment system which triggered the emails. Looks like zero thought was given to this decision. Presumably this decision was not made this morning?

[Michael Gerfen @mgerfen]

@DellCares Nice business model you have there. I've been a customer for over 20 years, but this is the straw that broke the camel's back.

[Michael Gerfen @mgerfen]

@Dell Your support request page is throwing an HTTP 400 "Bad Request" error. Kind of hard to get tech support.

[Michael Gerfen @mgerfen]

@DellCares Thanks @dellcares. I just spent a frustrating 30 minutes on the phone trying to get an issue resolved with my docking station. I received a firmware update for my docking station which brick it and now I learned I have to pay to have it repaired.
