Arggh! It is nearly impossible to even use the Walmart Website. I keep on getting this β€œPress and Hold” prompt, and every time I do it, it says I need to do it again… :angry:

I suppose this weird captcha thing doesn’t work with a touchpad?

Finally got the captcha thing to work…Seriously, though! Who designed this terrible website?! I cannot even view the full specifications on electronics, since it gets automatically closed when trying to scroll down the window… :person_facepalming:

I suppose some don’t test the stuff they’re to add twice before adding them…

Probably because testing such features beforehand would cost more money… Ugh…

How much would just a few tests cost really?

Hopefully, it does not cost that much. A bigger issue might be employee satisfaction and motivation; why would employees spent extra time to make sure the website is perfect if they won’t get paid more for putting in the extra effort of doing thorough testing?

Edit: I found a great quote about this…
β€œIt is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
Journalist Upton Saintclair in 1934.

What happens if they run out of meals to name the OSes after?

Maybe they will name updates after savory foods…

And once those are done for too?

Maybe then they will use fruit? :person_shrugging:

Okay, so what when ALL food names have been exhausted?

How about fictitious robots and AIs? On second thought, probably would not want Android Skynet…

Maybe Sci-fi authors?

Maybe, eventually, Android Hhyyrylainen?

Or even a Linux Hhyyrylainen distro…

i doubt a person actually designed it, it’s probably vibe coded if it’s that bad(and the company’s logo kinda looks like an anus too)
