Shame On UI

Masterclass in patronizing, courtesy of @microsoft. I would appreciate it if you didn't assume what my "needs" are.

Lesson #1: Never run critical infrastructure on Windows machines @InouyeAirport

Look, @USPS, I really do like your machines. But you can do better than "Address could not be found" if someone includes the word "Suite"...

I'm already going there, so why would you offer to "Add" a waypoint, @Tesla?

(Fun fact: A duplicate waypoint breaks the time and distance-to-destination indicators)

"People like circles, right?" - @SamsungUS

"Let's just ignore any errors that happen and show the user an endless loading screen" - HBO Max, probably

"Let's put the controls in a place where everybody rests their elbows." Genius. @DIRECTV

Some users won't realize a screen can be scrolled without hints.

Even worse if those options are essential, such as changing a TV channel.
