The one thing I find more annoying than ads are the fake ads and the fake X buttons. Then there's the multi-step ad. You go through the advert, like 30 seconds worth, before the exit button pops up. But, it turns out that it just leads to a new screen that makes you wait 5-10 seconds longer for the actual exit button to appear. Edit: Look I just read a lot of stuff. So the ads are usually to unlock stuff like fast passes and story chapters...

Agreed! I actually told my partner "OMG you have to watch this video! I finally don't feel alone any more!" . Companies could learn a lot by taking this video and actually learning something from it.
Found out the hard way the SE first gen wouldn’t get watchOS 11 (it doesn’t say what model I have just the type of case) so I very much so related to some guy saying it was dumb it didn’t come to the first gen SE under a Twitter post asking which update everyone was excited about
For no. 5 at 18:12, the reason why you can’t use Face ID or Touch ID when the device has been restarted is simply due to the Secure Enclave being locked. In broad strokes, the way Face ID/Touch ID work is when they scan your face or fingerprint, the scan gets converted into a model which is then compared to the one stored on the Secure Enclave and when the comparison is done, the Secure Enclave just outputs a Boolean authentication token (true or false) which will either unlock or keep the device locked respectively. So you can’t use any biometric authentication until the Secure Enclave has been unlocked by the passcode. The same mechanism is used to temporarily disable Face ID/Touch ID by pressing and holding the side and volume buttons. The whole point is to use something other than biometrics to unlock the Secure Enclave, hence the passcode.
@iiiiiiiii69iiiiiiiiii not really. Comes in handy when biometric sensors fail to operate. And making the user enter the passcode every now and then will make sure they remember it. Imagine not using the passcode for months, many users forget.
You really did sum up all the tech frustrations we face every single day. It's ironic how the gadgets meant to make our lives easier so often manage to do the opposite! Now I'm wondering how we ever got used to these quirks in the first place.
I get more and more shocked with every consistent Rick roll in the vids and how genius they keep being. Amazing video again Arun. Glad your channel is so big, you deserve it.
remember folks, there is that phrase that's so overused but true. "If buying ist owning anymore, then pirating isn't stealing" and i completely agree with that 💯
I hate when you google some information about a specific topic and enter a news channel's website and they literally force you scroll to the bottom of the website because they filled the page with unnecessary information instead of giving it with just a single sentence just to make the news longer.
specially blasting you with " SUBSCRIBE to the newsletter , it's free ! " right after cookies. Another friction between you and the news you came to Seems like a perfect design idea to make the customer feel " happy " enough to not read the news and move on :0 . Honestly..
I just use chatgpgt for exactly this reason. I remember searching for how much power a cubic meter of natural gas produces when burned, simple question. The result... news articles explaining what natural gas is, how is distributed, then some ads for different appliances that run on gas, for the answer to be right at the buttom of the page. SEO is ruining google search.
For number 89, i think captchas like the 'select all with traffic lights' as well as the 'tick this checkbox to prove you are not a robot' check your mouse movements to see if they are linear and robotic or arbitraire like an average humans will be, because bots can tick a box and identify traffic lights but cant really match the random mouse movements of a human
IBM: In 2014 Google released reCAPTCHA v2, which replaced text- and image-based challenges with a simple checkbox stating "I am not a robot." As users check the box, reCAPTCHA v2 analyzes the user’s interactions with web pages, evaluating factors like typing speed, cookies, device history, and IP address to determine whether a user is likely to be human. The checkbox is also part of how the CAPTCHA works: no CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA tracks the user's mouse movements as they click the box. A human's movements tend to be more chaotic, whereas bots' movements are more precise. If no CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA suspects a user may be a bot, it presents them with an image-based CAPTCHA challenge.
Thanks mate, this video helped me a lot in understanding a basic thing that the problems which makes me frustrate to such an extreme level is a universal problem and there is nothing to loose your temper in the process and spoil your day rather than focusing on other important things 👍🏼
This video isn't like most. You're talking about so many things that affect us on the daily and nobody seems to complain about. Thank you for bringing to light on these topics, because it is incredibly frustrating how there is such a lack of communication from a company to its customers, or just greed.
My number 1 is how everything seems to force or shove ads, purchases, subscriptions, notifications, or view something once then you see it everywhere and whatever else they want. When you can honestly care less with what they are pushing
1:42 Watching movies with my family sucks because of volume. One needs it quiet and others need it loud. Whether It's because you're used to it, can barely hear, or are sensitive to sounds, it's always a problem so we have to constantly raise and lower the volume based on if it's dialogue or loud sounds.
18:12 there is a good reason for this. The reason it asks is because your passcode is needed to deencrypt the data on the phone, after the first time it saves that decryption key in the RAM which allows you to use Face ID, and then that is deleted on next restart
News websites that let you read the first paragraph of an article, then you have to scroll through 5 ads to get to the next paragraph which is behind a paywall/subscription.
and then also even with an ad blocker it's instantly hidden behind an overlay. the slide show article WITH A RANDOM THING IN THE MIDDLE IN ALL CAPS. just for padding. The verge.
There's a website that removes the pay wall. I tried to put it in a comment for you, but TH-cam deleted it. You'll have to google it. Just search removepaywall.
I was able to get around that one time by saving it as a webpage, then opening it in TextEdit, not only does that remove the Paywall, but it also removes the ads
This is quite far away the best TH-cam video I’ve seen in the last 12 months. If only two or three of the brands mentioned, watch this video and make changes that’s a big win. So many inefficiencies based on marketing and sales pitches rather than actual user experience. Even Apple, the architects of user experience, are failing at times now. This should be compulsory viewing at every product development meeting in any tech organisation. Bravo
Oh, man. You are a voice in a world of consumer frustration that I hope that gets heard! Thank you for doing this. You got everything right. Thank you again. Sometimes I feel like product designers are a bunch of executives that won’t test the thing and therefore that thing end ups being a shot in the dark. Is like “Designed for humans” by aliens who don’t never met humans.

I'm surprised you haven't mentioned this, but what I find most infuriating is the fact that you need to create an account on almost every site you visit. Why would they require my email for something free or a trial of something?
Because they are selling your info. If you want to know why any business, anywhere, at any point in time has done ANYTHING the answer is money. It's always money. It's so fucking gross.

2:08 For 89, it's nice to know that, usually, the boxes that just spill over you don't check won't count, the main point is just to track how the cursor goes along the screen and see if the behavior is bot-like (as in it checks if it glides in an extremely straight line or in a very exact manner, etc.), so it's not too bad. I'm not sure about the deciphering of the sometimes unintelligible sequences of letters though.
I'd say the annoying GDPR popups here in UK on websites. It's so frustrating as is but once you cleared it, you will then be hit by offer popups. Also, news article websites, even popular ones have got some many ads on them, not just picture ads, but auto-playing video ads, it really is soo annoying and incredibly hard to read. I usually resort to reader view on my iPhone otherwise, it really is unmanageable!
I have always thought this, but in reality, the sites are offering the news for free, they need to make money to pay their journalists and editors... Text and image ads pay close to nothing, so they have to opt for the video ads 😢 sad indeed. Honestly, not sure what is best in this scenario, either a page full of ads or pay for the content... Both suck.
@@rom-428 Ya, you are right, be thankful for free content but at what cost?? Not even being able to scroll because of all kinds of ads! I mean I have really seen some bad ones from popular sites .. totally inundated with ads, banners and auto-play video ads!
About the youtube “back button”. On your phone/tablet, If you go down a rabbit hole and want to go back to one of the previous videos, just tap the screen and press the left button (to the left of the pause/play button in the middle) which is basically a “back button” to the previous video you were watching.
Whenever an app asks "Are you satisfied" I say "no" and then "don't leave feedback". It's the fastest way. The second you say "Yes I like your app" they send you to the App Store to rate it and give a review.
If you call someone from recent calls on an iPhone, the phone will revert back to recents as soon as the call finishes meaning if you try to end the call but the other person ends it right before you, you will instead call whoever is on your recents near the end call location
For 86, this is why it is highly recommended to use a secure password manager as time goes on. They can generate and save passwords for you, and you most likely only need to remember one really secure password.
Number 102: every advert on TH-cam seems to be worse on TV and on consoles to the point where you’re forced to either pay the subscription or just exit and go back to the video you’re trying to watch
103: how you need to log into a fire tv to rename it I wish I was joking this was a genuine problem to the point I just manually linked because it kept going to the wrong screen
10:30, mrboss to get the same amount of performance you need to go to battery or power planning and set "while on battery maximum performance" it only lasts 3 hours or so of gaming though but preforms the same
The biggest combo! I decided to download one of those Ad games, and then once I installed and played it, it was giving me Ads like every single time I win! So i was like "screw it" ill turn off my wifi and then only to realize that you need to be online AT A SINGLEPLAYER GAME!.
Bro forced me to buy TH-cam premium to avoid 20 sec adds in his already long videos. There are always 3 long adds in his video. Also even I know how the traffic light human or bot thing works. How come he don't know that surprised me😅.
Offline games are a rarity now. I had an internship of sorts in a place where signals were sparse. So finding a game that actually works was so hard. This will backfire on companies eventually i feel. Gamers be it casual or hardcore will realise this madness and flip on them.
Well, Geometry Dash, terraria, and Minecraft are some examples for mobile games. Pc games that are offline factorio, the yakuza franchise, halo mcc, bg3, and stalker anomaly
Ive had number 61 happen to me so many times and i can confirm its so annoying, like phone companies should make it so that if the phone screen has been off for a long period of time the flashlight turns off
Almost most of the things you pointed out are so relatable.... Also one more thing that infuriates me is that the specifications of a same laptop is actually different on differrent websites and suck lack of info is available
Are you sure you're looking at the same laptop? Sometimes they make the same laptop with slightly different hardware specs for different price points. For example, my current laptop came in an i5 and i7 CPU variant, and (I think) a 16 series and 30 series GPU variant as well.
Arun, you are the best. Other TH-cams take FOREVER to get to the point. But or you, 7 seconds in, and we've already started. Thank you so much! (and by the way, video footage and sound have improved so much!)
Your follow-up should be how to fix all of these. It could be a whole series. Just do 10 of these in each video. Kinda like in-app purchases. You have to keep coming back for more! 😂
I hate when I have to browse a streaming service without subscribing, to make sure they have enough content for me to watch, and I cannot do that until I subscribe
I recently was without power for 9 days, and a thing that annoyed me is the fact even offline games didn't work because they needed an update. it wouldnt even let me access them at all. I think we need to not rely on EVERYTHING to be online. it's just gunna be bad down the line.
considering how much data costs in MOST countries, you would think devs would have offline compatibility in mind. when I go to the doctors I just play this came called word cookies. it's basically the only thing that works LOL@@Unknown_Genius
Minecraft trying to be always online despite the fact I have touched multiplayer in years having a hissy fit because the integrated server it tried to start up and the micro transaction store aren’t working Why
And I thought I was the only one irritated by these small things. Good to know that I'm not the only one to notice and complain about them. Great video👍
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. One thing I might toss out to add to the list is autofill from pw managers. There's typically no simple way to just say, "don't suggest an autofill if it's not a password".
When you see a yt video with the title "last time you will see me here" and you think the youtuber is going to switch platform but instead just saying he is going to move.
some of these issues demand separate video. very well done! finally someone talks about issues that infuriate me for more than a decade. and they are still not solved!
Another excellent video 😊. I especially agree with the fake video game advertising, the lack of classic game preservation, and the constant request to rate an app.
Your videos are incredible my man. I noticed one here that I had to explain to my wife - the walking and knowing if you're going the right direction on gps. As a veteran gamer, it's like a mini map in game. Pay attention to the cone around your point, it's the line of sight. Turn the cone/phone o< facing the direction you're supposed to be going and that's the way you should be walking. Cheers.
4:35 Thats why I use old printers that just print and doesnt ask if the ink is right or wrong. I still sometimes even use dot matrix printers because I really like the dot style it makes. Only problem with this is that I need a parallel port to use those old printers…
0:15 the ps5 slim is supposed to be on its side naturally so they wanted the disk to face up while the console is on its side IT TAKES DVDS LIKE THIS FOR A REASON
#5 "can't use FaceID or TouchID after you restart" This is actually a really GOOD thing. Your password is the key that unlocks the encryption on your device. After that happens, it then knows what to compare your face or fingerprint to to unlock as well. Including that mechanism unecrypted is a recipe for disaster.
We are at the point that where security and convenience are constantly at odds. I agree that it's more secure, but for consumers with less security concerns, there should be other options.
@@jmarquiso Yep I swear there are a ton more people getting locked out by their digital 'smart' lock from their own home than people saved by these from thieves. And way more people lost their years of work and memories because of bitlocker than those actually benefit from it.
@@Stoned01 later in the video he does say it about after restarting. OP is more right than they realize. In the U.S., the police can force you to use your fingerprint or face to unlock your phone. They cannot force you to give up your password. They need a warrant for that. There are other times, sadly, someone may have no issue overpowering you and forcing you to put your finger on the unlock, but wouldn’t go as far as doing whatever it would take to force you to say your password. (Abusive relationships, abusive parents, and even people that would intimidate someone, like a school principal).
#4 is actually a security feature. The phone's lock code/password is used to generate the encryption key which the device needs to read your files. This is why when you hit the button(s) to turn your phone off it will sometimes disable biometrics because on most devices it will wipe the encryption key as if the device booted up just now.
Let me know if I've missed any! 😅

12:35 not only laptops also phones, and more generally it is so annoying that they are adding all this stupid stuff that you don't need and they are removing the things that you do need(SD card, headphone jack and probably in the future even your charging port).
Why is there literally something SO satisfying about someone posting a video about every single persons pet peeves in tech?
Thank you and keep up the good work Arun!
Agreed! I actually told my partner "OMG you have to watch this video! I finally don't feel alone any more!" .
Companies could learn a lot by taking this video and actually learning something from it.
Found out the hard way the SE first gen wouldn’t get watchOS 11 (it doesn’t say what model I have just the type of case) so I very much so related to some guy saying it was dumb it didn’t come to the first gen SE under a Twitter post asking which update everyone was excited about
9:29 finally, he’s asking the hard questions
I’ve been bothered by that since I was a kid
For no. 5 at 18:12, the reason why you can’t use Face ID or Touch ID when the device has been restarted is simply due to the Secure Enclave being locked. In broad strokes, the way Face ID/Touch ID work is when they scan your face or fingerprint, the scan gets converted into a model which is then compared to the one stored on the Secure Enclave and when the comparison is done, the Secure Enclave just outputs a Boolean authentication token (true or false) which will either unlock or keep the device locked respectively. So you can’t use any biometric authentication until the Secure Enclave has been unlocked by the passcode. The same mechanism is used to temporarily disable Face ID/Touch ID by pressing and holding the side and volume buttons. The whole point is to use something other than biometrics to unlock the Secure Enclave, hence the passcode.
I'm surprised Arun doesn't know that.
@iiiiiiiii69iiiiiiiiii not really. Comes in handy when biometric sensors fail to operate. And making the user enter the passcode every now and then will make sure they remember it. Imagine not using the passcode for months, many users forget.
..let alone ensuring it’s actually you.
9:25 THAT CATCH WAS SOOOOO PERFECT
You really did sum up all the tech frustrations we face every single day. It's ironic how the gadgets meant to make our lives easier so often manage to do the opposite! Now I'm wondering how we ever got used to these quirks in the first place.
You REALLY spoke on behalf of all of us here bro!!
Agreed 👍
I get more and more shocked with every consistent Rick roll in the vids and how genius they keep being. Amazing video again Arun. Glad your channel is so big, you deserve it.
i didnt notice the rickroll this time. when was it?
Totally agree! Good work Arun!❤

Oh my god I agree with you on the tiktok voice.. it is so annoying, and is used outside of TikTok. I don’t use TikTok, and yet still hear it. AHHHHH
I hate that voice too, and I also don't use TikTok
Thankyou
Fun fact: the tiktok voice is someone's actual voice
@@Nebulisuzeryeah, all text to speech is
Advertisements on social media other than tiktok with the TikTok voice infuriates me
Man all these frustrations are very valid. Its insane to think how far some companies have got away with this for so long.
I hate when you google some information about a specific topic and enter a news channel's website and they literally force you scroll to the bottom of the website because they filled the page with unnecessary information instead of giving it with just a single sentence just to make the news longer.
unnecessary info + ads in the MIDDLE of the article
specially blasting you with " SUBSCRIBE to the newsletter , it's free ! " right after cookies.
Another friction between you and the news you came to
Seems like a perfect design idea to make the customer feel " happy " enough to not read the news and move on :0 .
Honestly..
im not a big fan of their new AI summaries telling me to put glue on my pizza 😂 get ts outta my face fr
I just use chatgpgt for exactly this reason. I remember searching for how much power a cubic meter of natural gas produces when burned, simple question. The result... news articles explaining what natural gas is, how is distributed, then some ads for different appliances that run on gas, for the answer to be right at the buttom of the page. SEO is ruining google search.
Oh man. The manic production value of the video is inspired!!! I loved every second.
For number 89, i think captchas like the 'select all with traffic lights' as well as the 'tick this checkbox to prove you are not a robot' check your mouse movements to see if they are linear and robotic or arbitraire like an average humans will be, because bots can tick a box and identify traffic lights but cant really match the random mouse movements of a human
that is very interesting indeed - did not know that
What does it do on phones
I've heard that too and that obviously makes a lot of sense
IBM: In 2014 Google released reCAPTCHA v2, which replaced text- and image-based challenges with a simple checkbox stating "I am not a robot." As users check the box, reCAPTCHA v2 analyzes the user’s interactions with web pages, evaluating factors like typing speed, cookies, device history, and IP address to determine whether a user is likely to be human. The checkbox is also part of how the CAPTCHA works: no CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA tracks the user's mouse movements as they click the box. A human's movements tend to be more chaotic, whereas bots' movements are more precise. If no CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA suspects a user may be a bot, it presents them with an image-based CAPTCHA challenge.
What about phones
I relate to about 90% of those tech frustrations. It was very enjoyable to watch. Thank you!
Thanks mate, this video helped me a lot in understanding a basic thing that the problems which makes me frustrate to such an extreme level is a universal problem and there is nothing to loose your temper in the process and spoil your day rather than focusing on other important things 👍🏼
What frustrated you to such an "extreme" level?
Genuinely one of the only channels I wholeheartedly enjoy watching :)
This video isn't like most. You're talking about so many things that affect us on the daily and nobody seems to complain about. Thank you for bringing to light on these topics, because it is incredibly frustrating how there is such a lack of communication from a company to its customers, or just greed.
My number 1 is how everything seems to force or shove ads, purchases, subscriptions, notifications, or view something once then you see it everywhere and whatever else they want. When you can honestly care less with what they are pushing
Can’t care less *
I think this is my favourite video you've ever done. If even a handful of these companies make some changes based on this, it'll be a godsend
Agreed 👍
You depicted exactly how I feel to a point. Here take my like 🫡
Bro just spilled all the stuff he sometimes glosses over in reviews. Respect.
1:42 Watching movies with my family sucks because of volume. One needs it quiet and others need it loud. Whether It's because you're used to it, can barely hear, or are sensitive to sounds, it's always a problem so we have to constantly raise and lower the volume based on if it's dialogue or loud sounds.
Headphones for every one
So true
Alternatively you can try running the audio through a compressor.
Some of those are plain evil. Thanks for standing against those corporations and their abusive practices.
Imagine if Arun had his own phone company no regrets on buying the phones😂.
I say he stick to being boss
He does though, Passionfruit
BRUH HE HAS "PASSIONFRUIT"
Passtionfruit the phone of the future. Never gonna give you up😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
18:12 there is a good reason for this. The reason it asks is because your passcode is needed to deencrypt the data on the phone, after the first time it saves that decryption key in the RAM which allows you to use Face ID, and then that is deleted on next restart
News websites that let you read the first paragraph of an article, then you have to scroll through 5 ads to get to the next paragraph which is behind a paywall/subscription.
and then also even with an ad blocker it's instantly hidden behind an overlay. the slide show article WITH A RANDOM THING IN THE MIDDLE IN ALL CAPS. just for padding. The verge.
There's a website that removes the pay wall. I tried to put it in a comment for you, but TH-cam deleted it. You'll have to google it. Just search removepaywall.
Earlier this week I saw an article like this- that was a summary of someone's LinkedIn post.
I was able to get around that one time by saving it as a webpage, then opening it in TextEdit, not only does that remove the Paywall, but it also removes the ads
This is quite far away the best TH-cam video I’ve seen in the last 12 months. If only two or three of the brands mentioned, watch this video and make changes that’s a big win. So many inefficiencies based on marketing and sales pitches rather than actual user experience. Even Apple, the architects of user experience, are failing at times now. This should be compulsory viewing at every product development meeting in any tech organisation. Bravo
Oh, man. You are a voice in a world of consumer frustration that I hope that gets heard! Thank you for doing this. You got everything right. Thank you again. Sometimes I feel like product designers are a bunch of executives that won’t test the thing and therefore that thing end ups being a shot in the dark. Is like “Designed for humans” by aliens who don’t never met humans.
One annoying part about TH-cam is that, when I wanna exit a video, I swipe down to exit but instead it zooms in the video I'm tryna exit.
The sheer audacity of this editing. Truly inspiring
Sheer audacity yet still they don't bother to include timestamps
@@AidenR19Well, I wouldn't bother putting 100 different timestamps in a video as well.. They are also human
@@AidenR19 you can only add timestamps to a video when the "chapter" is at least 10 seconds long. so if there's less than 10 seconds between 2 timestamps it won't work.
@@your_average_cultured_dude They could do timestamps based on topics because the list was mostly grouped into specific topics like gaming and UI, etc.,
14:39 instagram does this but worse, you’re reading a very interesting post (or watching) and you tap the top and it refreshes your feed, that just boils my blood
So annoying, especially in reels, because it doesn't even refresh them, it just sends you back to the top of the videos you just watched
I'm surprised you haven't mentioned this, but what I find most infuriating is the fact that you need to create an account on almost every site you visit. Why would they require my email for something free or a trial of something?
Because they are not free. You pay with a bit of personal info.
and obviously you need a credit card for a "free" trial... companies hope you forgot about the subscription so they get more money 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Because they are selling your info.
If you want to know why any business, anywhere, at any point in time has done ANYTHING the answer is money.
It's always money. It's so fucking gross.
The first one about the PS5 is not a problem at all, the disk drive is like that so that it goes in properly when the console is put on its side (which is also the most healthy way to set up your PS5)
Love this video idea! I strongly dislike Netflix's auto-play features, like I just want to scroll and read the titles but Netflix auto plays the trailer in half a second. And physical game discs are a joke. I feel like we should just be able to buy games as a memory card nowadays so you dont have to be online to download them 🤬
I usually wind up muting my TV while I'm reading if I actually wanna watch this or that movie😅
Um physical games aren't are a joke to be honest but it's your opinion and I respect that
Nintendo still uses real physical games with no internet connection required!
@@assassin8636he didn't say physical games, he said physical game disc's, which he thinks should be replaced by a memory card that you copy the game from. My issue with this is Piracy so maybe they make it proprietary idk
you can disable autoplay in your Netflix profile or account settings
I had a ten minute rant last night whilst opening Prime about the exact same thing. I want to carry on watching something from the night before why oh why put it half way down the page! Great video as always Arun ❤
I assume they want to push the stuff thats charged as extra rather than giving you the option to continue watching you've already paid for
I despise the fact that video game companies, mainly Nintendo, release half-baked games for beloved series, and when they do poorly, they assume that it's the series' fault and discontinue it

2:08 For 89, it's nice to know that, usually, the boxes that just spill over you don't check won't count, the main point is just to track how the cursor goes along the screen and see if the behavior is bot-like (as in it checks if it glides in an extremely straight line or in a very exact manner, etc.), so it's not too bad. I'm not sure about the deciphering of the sometimes unintelligible sequences of letters though.
I'd say the annoying GDPR popups here in UK on websites. It's so frustrating as is but once you cleared it, you will then be hit by offer popups.
Also, news article websites, even popular ones have got some many ads on them, not just picture ads, but auto-playing video ads, it really is soo annoying and incredibly hard to read. I usually resort to reader view on my iPhone otherwise, it really is unmanageable!
I have always thought this, but in reality, the sites are offering the news for free, they need to make money to pay their journalists and editors... Text and image ads pay close to nothing, so they have to opt for the video ads 😢 sad indeed.
Honestly, not sure what is best in this scenario, either a page full of ads or pay for the content... Both suck.

what about Marques?
parasocial
@@xOhSo I don't think you know what that means
To me that sounds like an insult but ok.
Mr. Beast who?
About the youtube “back button”. On your phone/tablet, If you go down a rabbit hole and want to go back to one of the previous videos, just tap the screen and press the left button (to the left of the pause/play button in the middle) which is basically a “back button” to the previous video you were watching.
Whenever an app asks "Are you satisfied" I say "no" and then "don't leave feedback". It's the fastest way. The second you say "Yes I like your app" they send you to the App Store to rate it and give a review.
An absolute glorious rant. Relatable on so many levels
I love the captcha one. I always struggle with picking the boxes when they hang over just a bit 😂
captcha is for training AI NOT to prove you are a human
If you call someone from recent calls on an iPhone, the phone will revert back to recents as soon as the call finishes meaning if you try to end the call but the other person ends it right before you, you will instead call whoever is on your recents near the end call location
For 86, this is why it is highly recommended to use a secure password manager as time goes on. They can generate and save passwords for you, and you most likely only need to remember one really secure password.
I like how the guy in the background takes away the BMW carseat😂😂😂 15:38
Number 101: That one YT comment trend that says they will do a push up for every like
True
Number 102: every advert on TH-cam seems to be worse on TV and on consoles to the point where you’re forced to either pay the subscription or just exit and go back to the video you’re trying to watch
Or the one when they say "those who didn't come from tiktok are allowed to like"

10:30, mrboss to get the same amount of performance you need to go to battery or power planning and set "while on battery maximum performance" it only lasts 3 hours or so of gaming though but preforms the same

The biggest combo! I decided to download one of those Ad games, and then once I installed and played it, it was giving me Ads like every single time I win! So i was like "screw it" ill turn off my wifi and then only to realize that you need to be online AT A SINGLEPLAYER GAME!.
You can use a dns with ad blocking feature, so you don’t ever get ads in apps

Offline games are a rarity now. I had an internship of sorts in a place where signals were sparse. So finding a game that actually works was so hard. This will backfire on companies eventually i feel. Gamers be it casual or hardcore will realise this madness and flip on them.
Couple i can suggest are piano tiles and colour switch
Gamers don't even realize they shoulnd't preorder games and give companies money without them having to deliver.
I'll suggest a good one, Life is strange
And Tower wars

Well, Geometry Dash, terraria, and Minecraft are some examples for mobile games. Pc games that are offline factorio, the yakuza franchise, halo mcc, bg3, and stalker anomaly
Ive had number 61 happen to me so many times and i can confirm its so annoying, like phone companies should make it so that if the phone screen has been off for a long period of time the flashlight turns off
Almost most of the things you pointed out are so relatable....
Also one more thing that infuriates me is that the specifications of a same laptop is actually different on differrent websites and suck lack of info is available
Are you sure you're looking at the same laptop? Sometimes they make the same laptop with slightly different hardware specs for different price points.
For example, my current laptop came in an i5 and i7 CPU variant, and (I think) a 16 series and 30 series GPU variant as well.

20 minutes of complaining XD

Man you blew me away with this one. Smashing work Arun. It's crazy how all of the 100 points are so relatable 😮🤣

I hate when I have to browse a streaming service without subscribing, to make sure they have enough content for me to watch, and I cannot do that until I subscribe
I recently was without power for 9 days, and a thing that annoyed me is the fact even offline games didn't work because they needed an update. it wouldnt even let me access them at all. I think we need to not rely on EVERYTHING to be online. it's just gunna be bad down the line.
And God forbid you're using epic
considering how much data costs in MOST countries, you would think devs would have offline compatibility in mind. when I go to the doctors I just play this came called word cookies. it's basically the only thing that works LOL@@Unknown_Genius
Minecraft trying to be always online despite the fact I have touched multiplayer in years having a hissy fit because the integrated server it tried to start up and the micro transaction store aren’t working

And I thought I was the only one irritated by these small things. Good to know that I'm not the only one to notice and complain about them. Great video👍
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. One thing I might toss out to add to the list is autofill from pw managers. There's typically no simple way to just say, "don't suggest an autofill if it's not a password".
You must be using iOS
When you see a yt video with the title "last time you will see me here" and you think the youtuber is going to switch platform but instead just saying he is going to move.
this turned out to be a lot more relatable than I expected it to be.
some of these issues demand separate video. very well done! finally someone talks about issues that infuriate me for more than a decade. and they are still not solved!
Another excellent video 😊. I especially agree with the fake video game advertising, the lack of classic game preservation, and the constant request to rate an app.
Your videos are incredible my man. I noticed one here that I had to explain to my wife - the walking and knowing if you're going the right direction on gps. As a veteran gamer, it's like a mini map in game. Pay attention to the cone around your point, it's the line of sight. Turn the cone/phone o< facing the direction you're supposed to be going and that's the way you should be walking. Cheers.

#5 "can't use FaceID or TouchID after you restart"
This is actually a really GOOD thing. Your password is the key that unlocks the encryption on your device. After that happens, it then knows what to compare your face or fingerprint to to unlock as well. Including that mechanism unecrypted is a recipe for disaster.
We are at the point that where security and convenience are constantly at odds. I agree that it's more secure, but for consumers with less security concerns, there should be other options.
Bro he didn’t said after restart
He said that sometimes you can’t use face id beacuse your phone doesn’t scan your face
@@jmarquiso Yep I swear there are a ton more people getting locked out by their digital 'smart' lock from their own home than people saved by these from thieves. And way more people lost their years of work and memories because of bitlocker than those actually benefit from it.
@@Stoned01 later in the video he does say it about after restarting. OP is more right than they realize. In the U.S., the police can force you to use your fingerprint or face to unlock your phone. They cannot force you to give up your password. They need a warrant for that. There are other times, sadly, someone may have no issue overpowering you and forcing you to put your finger on the unlock, but wouldn’t go as far as doing whatever it would take to force you to say your password. (Abusive relationships, abusive parents, and even people that would intimidate someone, like a school principal).
#4 is actually a security feature. The phone's lock code/password is used to generate the encryption key which the device needs to read your files. This is why when you hit the button(s) to turn your phone off it will sometimes disable biometrics because on most devices it will wipe the encryption key as if the device booted up just now.
