Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!

This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Remember to read the rules before you make a post or comment!

Calendar app decides to get rid of month view on mobile (lemmy.world)
submitted 4 hours ago by goosehorse to c/softwaregore
2 comments fedilink
 
 

Woke up this morning to my work calendar app** with an "updated" UI.

A few months ago, they reverted a change that had made event names totally unreadable on mobile. Apparently, people complained that event names still weren't readable, so instead of implementing different view options (monthly, weekly, etc), it appears that their UX/UI team hit the crack pipe and decided to axe the month view altogether for mobile users.

No thanks, I don't want to "scroll in any direction across the calendar to view [my] events", I want to see what I have coming up later this week and for the next few weeks at a glance.

**I scrubbed the logo because this is (presumably) a small company with a specialized product for the industry I'm in. I scrolled back to December for the screenshot so as to not doxx myself with events from my work schedule.

DHL bragging about time travel (sopuli.xyz)

Recently, I noticed that no matter which delivery I'm tracking and no matter which status the package is currently in, DHL always claims the estimated delivery date to be yesterday.

This package was dropped at the DHL office on 23rd. When I checked right afterwards, the expected delivery was declared as 22nd. If I'm checking today (24th), it's now scheduled for the 23rd.

Going to Desktop mode solves this but sheesh. This is not some small business.

Don't know how (or if) I can upload video clips directly to Lemmy, so I used Imgur instead.

Don't talk to me if you do not have 200+ years of experience with containers.

*edit

Just did math in case it was a bit flip ( Was really pumped if this was a show case in the wild ), but it does not make sense the number even without the most valued bit was bonkers ( 87 years ).

So my guess it was indeed a bug or a memory issue.
