#technology hates me

[weepingfoxfury]

The man on the radio is throwing all manner of tunes in our general direction, says there's birthdays for the man and his year of the cat plus we may just head to Barcelona for the other one. Weatherwise things are a little on the damp side, there may be hints of sunshine between the showers or showers between the hints of sunshine ... all things considered, a day for keeping 'the umbrella' close. The traffic lady seems to mention somewhere called Roaches Town where things are bumper to bumper and she may just get thrown off the bus ... somebody call Grace Jones and the Men In Black!

Today's groaner: The owner of a wine shop answers his phone in the middle of the night. A slightly panicky voice on the other end asks, "It's kind of an emergency. When does your shop open?" The owner replies in an exasperated voice, "I just closed half an hour ago. So it won't open till tomorrow morning." Sometime later the owner is woken up with another call, " How long till you open? My need is urgent.", says the same, but slightly inebriated, voice. The slightly puzzled owner replies, "I told you, it won't open till morning." A few hours later there's another call, "When will your shop open?", shouts a drunk voice. The owner, now at the cusp of righteous wrath, shouts back, "For crying out loud! I told you - in the morning! And you don't sound like you need any wine by the way your night's been going, anyway." A slightly puzzled, but heavily intoxicated voice replies, "I've plenty of wine. What I need is a way out from your shop." ;-D badoom tish ... here all week!!

Mostly off planet at this point. You wouldn't believe how much my technology has been against me this morning! Some days I really shouldn't approach my laptop ... or maybe I should just approach it from a completely different angle ... or maybe I just need more coffee. Either way, I'm now going to head away from this little screen and just keep looking out of the window instead. No buttons to press, no notifications, no messages telling me that me and my passwords don't exist. "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that" ... looks like HAL 9000 has found me. ;-)

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday ... Biggest Dog had a good night's sleep and so did we all ... ciao until tomorrow ...

I’m actually writing on my laptop for once because my brain went, ‘you can type faster o your laptop than your phone so you can make more headway while the baby naps’…the laptop keeps lagging, so the letters on the screen are a half a sentence behind what I’m typing. I’m about ready to switch back to my phone lol

Ok, I still don't really know how to ise this thing, but is there a way to track random post I saw on instagram/pinterest whatever??

Because I always find something cool there and I just really want to read all comments/reblogs or whatever it's called here, look at op's page, you know. (Is it called op here? I feel so uncultured lol)

I tried looking for it in the op's feed, but it's always burried gods know where and search bar doesn't do what it is designed to do - search it up for me. It really frustrates me, so any help will be appriciated (if this post reaches anyone, again, idk how to use this app).

When your phone finally gives out on you, which means you've lost all the fics you downloaded through the years. And as much as you search by title or author, you still can't find them, so you have to go tag by tag or page by page. And then some accounts have been deleted, so their stories are gone. Fuck my life.

For real. I’ve broken a couple of computers at work just by sitting down and starting the computer up 🥲

[impossiblekittydelusion]

w hat the fuck is happening to my dash?

Reloading doesn't help but the app works fine so idk

I hate the formatting of the app so i usually use browser on mobile but as it is browser is unusable...

[cryptic-rainfall]

why would tumblr log me out in the middle of writting a post (and a long one at that)

me and little computer cards seem to have problems with each other

so 2 or 3 years ago, i got my first SIM card for my phone. but the issue is, it didn't work very well after like a month. so i talked to my dad about it, and we went to an apple store. apparently my SIM card had been broken from the start and i got a new one.

flash forward about a year, at a sleepover, i got a popup. "No SIM available."

panic. i needed to be able to contact my parents. i don't know what to do!

*google it because i have wifi*

*restart the phone*

it fixed.

then, after a month or so, it happened again. a week later. fixed it. again. fixed it.

then it eventually stopped happening. until literally today where i had to literally take it out and put it back in (hopefully it works).

in addition to that my switch's micro sd card broke like sometime last month. now i have a new switch from christmas. and i had to get a 2nd micro sd card in order to get my data from my first micro sd card to my new switch.

Over 2 years and 800 restarts, and this app still isn't working any better...

I hate this app. I hate this app. I hate this app.

I am avoiding Sonic x Shadow Generations spoilers like the PLAGUE. I have the game, but my Xbox has decided to- unfortunately- shit the bed (it freezes on the start-up screen or just crashes if it even gets past the start-up).

Jesus Christ yall.

If iMessage on your phone is ever being buggy, go straight to Apple.

Verizon's immediate response was that I had to factory reset my phone because iMessage wasn't working with one contact.

Went to Apple, they didn't say that. Miraculously, it fixed itself again, and they gave me the information on how to try and fix it if it happens again, and said they'd escalate to a higher level if the problem occurs again.

I swear. I know it's a silly thing to be so upset over, but my OCD was literally shrieking with rage because it wasn't working and I couldn't fix it and I wanted to text my, for lack of a better term, lover, without the green bubble of death.

I'm so close to turning off discord pings because these notifications have been perpetual zombies for two fucking WEEKS. Stop telling me, discord!! Wtf do you want me to do?????????

[butch-of-the-blades]

had to restart my stupid fucking baka laptop but yay i can type again!!!

[ultimate-marysue]

I'm so sorry if you've sent me an ask and I haven't answered, Tumblr was letting me see I had messages but not see the messages.

Anyways it's fixed now.

[lemonzst]

I can't do arrtt my bombuter boken

:(((((

[impossiblekittydelusion]

Is your tumblr working fine? I now got the 4th notification of you reblogging my post lol with out any changes in tags whatsoever

sooo I did not get this notification. At all. No it is not working fine, half the time it doesn't update at all and idk how to fix it. Tumblr support said to clear my browser cach which fixed it for all of 2 days and now I've given up. I have posts from two weeks ago that will not go away, its a toss up on whether or not i will be able to see new posts at all on any given day.
