The hassle of watching digital videos

I’ve bought hundreds of digital movies, so someone explain why I’m still sitting through ads like I’m watching basic cable.

Deceptive digital music

Why does digital music feel more complicated the more it “improves?"

The hassle of buying a new computer

Why does buying a new computer always turn into a full-blown ordeal?

Website and app incompatibility

They use the same name and same logo, but with completely different brains depending on where you use them.

Ridiculous social media ‘standards’

You write a post, share a meme or leave a comment. Next thing you know, a message pops up saying, “You have violated our community standards.”

Why can’t you rewind online videos?

We’ve surrounded by all this fancy technology, but somehow we lost the ability to go back a few seconds on a video?

Online advertisements

Am I the only one who thinks “targeted advertising” clearly missed the target?

Hospital stays
