Welcome to insanity.

Let's see if I can think of a few more:



- my ISP router modem makes you configure port forwarding by first 
specifying the internal port and then the external port, completely in 
contravention of the order that packets flow, causing you to not notice 
that you're actually doing something wrong.

- Windows 10 is only supported if you have a latest version installed; 
that means you need to upgrade about every 6 months or lose security 
updates within a year or two.

- Conrad processes orders completely automatically but does not have a 
service desk during most of the hours, and it is impossible to cancel, 
redo, edit or postpone any order any time.

- the most popular hardware shop in the Netherlands went from free 
delivery on almost all items to € 7,50 for everything and dropped 
envelope sending.

- Microsoft phased out almost all interesting applications like Windows 
Media Center, Windows Movie Editor, and is now even trying to get rid of 
"paint", replacing everything (if at all) with unusable crap no one 
wants or uses.

(That's Movie Maker).

- Its "automatic recovery" 99 out of 100 times doesn't do a thing even 
when you have an issue with your computer, and just wastes your time as 
you're waiting for your computer to boot up.

- My ISP modem has port forwarding hidden under "Security" and does not 
allow you to change the base router address except by changing the DHCP 
range, but you cannot give it another address than one ending in .1, so 
the procedure for changing it is turning on DHCP, then changing the 
range of DHCP, then turning it off again.



Okay maybe not such a great list.

Btw. "Inkscape" also only allows you to change a tool until after you 
have created an object with that tool; very annoying.
