Google Workspace. I have several clients who insist on using it for unknown reasons. It creates unprofessional looking work products. And in some cases, it is just plain kludgy (slicers randomly shoot themselves over the Sheet, page numbers randomly renumber when the footer is updated, etc). The part that gets me the most is that it is similar in price to other productivity suites, but often our clients opt to buy Zoom and Slack on top of that - basically doubling the price.

Iβve built plugins for Illustrator and other adobe projects and their internal API is trash.
This is the company that re-deployed their entire history of support forums accumulated over decades, into a new forum software, without realizing they were breaking twenty yearsβ worth of links.
Those forum posts, which took the place of their nonexistent documentation, were the communityβs collective work product and the company just said βfuck itβ and broke every link and bookmark anyone ever had to any obscure topic about adobe tech.

I stopped using it in February. I have a much happier life now.
Planes/Airports... I travel for work and I hate them, uncomfortable, crowded, huge waste of time and lots of problems just waiting to pop out.
Centrally controlled undemocratic fiat. ... Usury.
A new Google Pixel phone as they have supported GrapheneOS. Super huge, ugly, everything Glass for no reason and no headphone jack...
To that, Bluetooth. I will have to use it with this phone, or suffer from iphone-like Dongles like a cringe applekid.
