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!

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

I know showing Windows is a bit of a cop out, but I was confused by this message

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.

  1. Old address is wrong, add a new one
  2. Add every detail
  3. Enter the city, press okay, "please enter a city"
  4. Go to the strange popup that selects a state but somehow also a city, try to enter the city and select it
  5. Instead it resets the city to "Other"
  6. Suggests a city, totally wrong (ZIP code / Postleitzahl doesnt match at all)
  7. Remove that wrong city to increase chance of getting package

So now I am sending a package to the city "Other", but at least no wrong one and with the right postal code. Should work, I guess?

Also

  1. Add a new address
  2. Try to delete old address, nothing happens
  3. Try to set new address as default and then repeat 2., nothing happens

So I cant delete the old address anymore, lol.

Also, you cant change the send address when the article is "processed by the vendor", even though there is no indication about that.

There also was a "cancel" option, allegedly, that they removed some time ago. So I need to wait a few weeks to get it and then send it back, to get my 20€ back. LOL.

Update: cancelling order just works in The App™

Use the desktop site and suddenly it works again!


PS: feel free to call me on that totally real number XD

Johnny Castaway is in a strange world!

For some reason the screen is not resetting between scenes, giving him an unusually busy world. It's running 24/7 on XP but it's a 16 bit app.
