The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

    Nothing makes me particularly angry, but I’d really like if my washing machine had an accurate sense of time. It’s so far off sometimes I might as well just pretend there’s no timer. 1 hr 10? Come back in 1 hr to find it’s got 58 minutes to go. Which is sometimes 10 minutes but might actually be 58. Or 30. Or 70.

    Dumb fucking thing. Doesn’t even do multiple cycles in a row so it’s not like the timer resets for the next bit.

    1. My docking station. The screen sometimes goes black for a second or two randomly. I have had this problem with all kinds of docking stations.

    2. My egpu dock. It works great but I have to plug it in after boot or it won’t be detected.

    3. My samsung galaxy S22 (my last sasmung phone). The camera sometimes doesn’t work presumably because a ribbon cable inside is loose.

    My crappy electric Philips toothbrush from the internet of shit era. If you press the single button it has slightly wrong it goes into some Bluetooth pairing mode or whatever that you can’t take it out of until it gives up 2 minutes later.

        Commercial use scanners, size isn’t necessarily the distinction

        Devices designed to scan thousands of pages a minute have very finicky mechanics, but come in hand sized to office copier sized

        Just that 1) Their mechanicals are hard to maintenance and have very little tolerance for fuckery and 2) the software is universally terrible and badly written for a device you are literally paying ten grand to own.
