I hate this business model, you "buying" it means it's never on your PC. That means if you want to watch the same movie twice you gotta "download" it twice. Which I find to be a huge bandwidth wastage. So we pay for the movie AND for bringing it to our device? That's stupid considering people have data caps. Fast internet access is what has enabled these parasites to manifest.

I hate that so many services/websites assume that everyone has fast, unlimited internet access, while sitting in an air conditioned room on a comfy sofa with the latest iTrash ® device which has unlimited battery life, and a cooling system which can put the 16 radiators on the original Veyron to shame.

Sometimes, or maybe all the time, conditions are less than optimal. So many times I've been stuck with slow 2g internet in a place with scorching heat making me sweat buckets and I just want to know the damn directions to my destination. Google maps has never helped, it's always HERE or OpenStreetMaps. Because Google relies on your data connection to get map data. While it is a smart idea to make sure people are getting the latest maps it's retarded in the sense that it's either the latest maps, or "good luck loser"

Edit: just back from a test that used a Google form. When I logged in they suddenly thought to verify me for no reason at all. Luckily had my phone with me. Otherwise shit would've been tough. Reminds me, was denied access from my account once when I needed it the most. Was appearing for a 5 day long interview/test for joining the army, and my phone was lying face down in a suitcase somewhere. They wanted me to verify on my phone. Keep in mind I have disabled 2fa. It was simple enough to make a new account on proton mail but was still frustrating. Imo if I have the username and password that's all they need to know - even if they're a hacker just let them in.
