There's a scene in the hospital in that movie where a roomba-like machine is just moving back and forth saying "your floor is now clean". Broken tech devices has become something I constantly see now. We have all this junk and 4-5 year old IoT toys not working, fridges with blank screens that no one cares about.. and it keeps getting worse.
That and, my experience at the doctor now feels quite similar. "Says here you're retarded"
- fallingknife 4y agoEven Google Maps has gotten almost unusably buggy over the last couple years.
- bbarn 4y agoThere's a dirt road connecting two neighborhoods in my area that google thinks is the most direct way to get across town. Unless you have a true off road 4x4 with a lifted suspension capable of climbing a 15% grade, you're going to have a bad day going in reverse when you realize it's not a real road. It's gotten so bad that there is an actual sign that says "GPS IS WRONG THIS IS NOT THE WAY" at the end of the last paved part.
- danpalmer 4y agoHave you reported it? I've always found that reported issues get looked at and updated accordingly.
- ars 4y agoI reported something like that, a road that is only passible to pedestrians and not to cars. It was fixed within a couple days, and it stayed fixed. Did you report this road?
- fallingknife 4y agoI just mean it fails constantly. Doesn't load routes. Doesn't load search history / autocomplete. Generally unresponsive. Acts like it's waiting on a response, but it's not network issues, because as soon as I restart the app, it's responsive again.
- ROTMetro 4y agoFunny as someone who 'quantum leaped' forward five years (aka prison) Google Maps is about the only thing that seems to be way and not intentionally turned to garbage like Amazon/Spotify. Why can't I report I've already read a book on Audible (I have already read everything it's recommending me)? Why can't I rate what I liked/didn't to get better recommendations? Why can't I sort by price (I got a $5 credit)? When can't I sort by running time descending? I went back to good old Pandora and it's been so nice to have an algorithm that feeds me something I actually want.
