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!

It looks like the advisory/recall notice came out (depending on time zones) either before his posts or shortly thereafter.

Looks like the company has jumped on this right away as they should.

They have several non app solutions for bolus dosing. Looks like the app is new (iOS version isn't even out yet) and they didn't vet their consultants output adequately. Probably because this was some quick port that was outsourced and management didn't pay attention because 'requirements are the same'.

Super important in med device development to have adequate internal oversight of developers to ensure requirements are properly rigorously tested. Especially in a class III device like this

Scary that the device can be convinced to kill you. I don't care how bad the app is, that shouldn't be possible.

Life saving info, only available in the US.

It's available in other regions as well.

  1. Select "Yes", even if you aren't from the US.
  2. Open the menu on the top right and select your region the bottom.
  3. Profit.

Super simple and intuitive. /s

Don't forget to have a VPN. I recommend Mullvad because they accept Monero which cannot be tracked down to every detail of its purchase & location (all the way down to IP address for Bitcoin the Snitchcoin).

Wow, what a shit website. It just led to a neverending sequence of confirmation boxes untill I refreshed the page enough that it let me through.
