Sorting's hard! Lets go shop...oh, wait:
-
A shop I used to patronize had a similar bug. When some products were discounted, their "sort by price" function used the original price, not the discounted price. (I reported the bug, but they never fixed it.)
However that doesn't seem to be the case here: if those products were discounted, the "before" price would probably be prominently displayed.

The PlayStation store also does that
-
@Cursorkeys I wonder if that is because it's sorting by the real prices but showing you the prices they think you'll be willing to pay
-
@Cursorkeys It seems to work as expected on page 1 then when you go to page 2 the sort gives up.

I didn't notice that, how weird. Jokes on them though, I got so annoyed I got the TIG out and fixed the door. Don't need a new fridge now.
The overall state of the door isn't too hot so I guess it'll need replacing in a year or two when the whole lot gives up, a small reprieve anyway.

I've seen that sort of bug in other software. It stems from having sorts that don't produce the same answer every time (irritatingly common) and not getting results paging right.

An increasing number of them here ask if you want:
- Cash
- Cash & balance
- Cash & receipt
If you select "Cash" it then asks if you want your balance, and then if you want a receipt.
No, I do not, or I wouldn't have picked the option that has neither of those.

https://i.imgur.com/5aHUnVs.pngYeah, that grammar is terrible. "No x at y either can a or b"? That's just not good English, and I wouldn't be surprised if people got it wrong just because that was too confusing.

@Dreikin I was referring more to the blue underlines. But yeah, we can talk about the problem efficiency, such as it saying 'because of the word "All"' when there is only one answer to the first box starting with 'All'.

This is why you shouldn't give your spellchecker permission to run on images, especially images downloaded from the internet.

There are blue underlines?

@pie_flavor This site, by the way, has bamboozled me twice with a dedicated submit button. I really find it amazing that a homework site that has a notion of multiple entire attempts to solve homework problems, and that requires you to explicitly submit the assignment instead of it being automatically submitted once it's all done, locks you out from editing certain problem sets once you finish them.

Latest Chrome:
The tab bar sometimes doesn't draw the currently active tab properly, until you mouse over it.
-
@hungrier I flipped the Googlebit to make the tabs look like the previous style.
-
@loopback0 That's slightly better, but still

Today, in our "everything-is-a-web-page brainworm" series:
if you drag-and-drop a URL into Skype's window, it loads the site in this window. And by "loading", I mean "replacing the entire UI, and immediately dropping the current call".
I was expecting it to send the link to the person I was speaking with, but hey, I suppose it shows how inconsiderate I am. After all, there may be people who can't afford a web browser and have to use Skype to access the Internet ; that makes perfect sense.
-
@hungrier How hard is it to draw UI elements?
I wasn't even trying for that one, it just happened.
-
@Zerosquare Good lord, they really didn't configure Electron too much, did they.

Well, it's a fridge; that's a good thing.

@pie_flavor: I've heard Skype is not actually using Electron, but an Electron-like MS thingy based on the Edge engine (instead of Chromium). But yay, same thing.

ο Ί: Electron is kinda awful. So, how can we take it and make it worse?

Skype for Business is an instant messaging program that frequently takes multiple days to deliver messages.
-
@ben_lubar You need to pay extra for first-class messaging with next day delivery, you know.

With Enterprise you get overnight express.

Ah, that's why the message went to East Bumfuckistan. And had to be forwarded (manually) 42 times.

What does a grey cross in the WiFi symbol mean? Who knows. Hovering over it does nothing, the right-click status seems normal and Googling only gives you info on red crosses

K think it means "won't automatically connect"? Is it a network you've connected to and then specifically disconnected from?
-
@Cursorkeys Maybe they updated the color?
Edit: Afterall, it seems like all the icons are going to just white. So our company had to join the bandwagon. Our users aren't happy.

You were very close. It wasn't one I'd done anything with and 'connect automatically' was ticked. However, when I pressed connect it came up with yellow text stating 'something about this connection has changed'. So I guess it means that. Discocoverable...
I did find a page on the possible WiFi symbols in Windows 10 and it doesn't list it, Unless, like @dcon said, it is supposed to be the red one.

Really? Seems like a strange place to put it.

It's a Keyboard, not an Ieyboard, see? And perhaps it likes the stories written by Franz Kafka, whose main antagonist is often just called K.

So it is some kind of bug

I'm not sure what's worse, the shirt or the Photoshop-job.
