I've got two off the top of my head:

First is that the design of the USB drives needing to be oriented up or down was the result of a minor cost cutting choice. The inventor regrets it because it wouldn't been easy made so that USB drives were reversible.

Second is the abundance of pointless SEO stuff on recipe pages. It would be a cool opportunity for the creator to add a personal touch to the recipe page beneath the recipe, but they pop in first along with ads and suggested links. And they're so frustrating to navigate that they had to incorporate a 'jump to recipe' button.

    Capitalism is why sports games fucking suck, especially American football games. Technology is at a point where we could have the most realistic simulation Xs and Os football game but we have Madden (absolute dogshit) and a couple small indie games that are either arcade leaning or just not good if we're being honest. It's so stupid.

      Madden became the exclusive series because Sega sold their game cheaper one year, and their games were also better liked than Madden at the time. EA signed an exclusive license with the NFL because they were spooked by how well Sega's better, cheaper game did. Yet another case of capitalism driving competition and making things better for everyone no-copyright

      The "I CAN ONLY BUY THIS OFFICIALLY LICENSED FOOTBALL GAME BECAUSE I MUST HAVE UP TO DATE REAL PRO STATISTICS" brainworms make it unnecessary for EA to do much year by year to keep printing money. They remove features some years and the sports hogs keep gobbling it up.
