I don't fucking know why I can't eject USB hard drives. I installed the SysInternals apps, and best they can tell me is that Dropbox is fucking with the drives. I explicitly told Dropbox to not fuck with USB drives. I don't know who's lying, I just want whoever is fucking with the drives to stop fucking with the drives, OK??? OK.

I literally cannot understand how Outlook is so awful and unpleasant to use. Constant pauses, regular freezes and a search that will show a document I sent to myself five years ago regardless of search terms but won't surface the perfect match I received yesterday, in the world's most prominent email client.

The only worse software I have to interact with on a daily basis is Adobe's PDF reader, which gives me five popups within one minute of opening it and takes over a minute to do a text search in a five page document.

Years of hü and hott between different teams, with different goals, not knowing what the other teams did.

I typically use my browser for PDFs. Firefox actually has some basic PDF edit functionality now.
