Frustration towards electronic devices

Dear computer, while I appreciate your hard work keeping me warm, I very much would prefer if you could maintain a low temperature, so as to not engage the auto-shutdown that you seem so fond of triggering at the most inopportune moments imaginable.

While I do realize it is in my best interests as well that you do not overheat any of your vital components, it is a very frustrating thing that when I set you to render 3D, I have to expose you to the cold, norwegian winter by opening my window as far as it will go to avoid interruption. Well, I say interruption, but it’s really more a case of complete loss of the last hour’s progress the way you seem to like doing things.

So, computer, what I really do think you should consider when doing heavy rendering is perhaps… Throttle the processing speed a little? Just allow yourself time to dissipate heat properly, instead of going full blast the entire render? This, while it would increase the minimum achievable render time, I think would still be helpful for the sake of ensuring your work is not retroactively made futile.

Also please stop it with the nagging about the updates, I honestly do not care about adobe flash any more.

I have zero patience for electronics that don’t work.

Seriously, this is the 21st Century. Why can’t we make something that works at the least 80% of the time and have a decent life-span?

That’s why, according to technology companies.

Dear Digital Alarm Clock,

Why do you have a dial to change your pitch that’s right next to the volume slider? It caused my ears to die.

So my phone was at 84% charge at 10:00 (with low power mode on) in the morning, at 12:00 it was at 2% and for the next 5-6 hours it never died while i was using it, bit then in the car i was at 16% at low power mode, and it crashes for no reason.

And i was downloading progress for a game, and was at 90% done which took me 10 minutes, and then somebody took it for 1/2 minute and then the thing started over. No pvz for me on the day long road trip.

If I start wifi on my mobile it takes for ever to update all the programs, not mentioning that using wifi on my mobile is also a pain since my mobile works at the speed of a dying snail.
