A single-furrow plow that was built so that it had to be pulled by a horse.
We didn’t have a horse (it was about 50 years too late for that), but we did have a small tractor, and somehow hitched the thing to it. My father drove the tractor. And then I had to guide that plow with a very firm hand. We needed it to dig a drainage ditch on the already flooded plot. It was the only way to do that. Any other machines would have been too heavy on that wet ground. After a day of hard work with the feet deep in the water, it was done.
I truly don’t understand how to use an apple computer. It’s terrible to use.
How do you screw up the most basic fundamental things like window management and a basic file explorer, I’ll honestly never understand.
Feels so slow too, no matter what you’re doing, finder windows slow, opening closing apps, just moving the mouse around takes forever.
Designed by a stupid hippy that died to a somewhat survivable cancer because he was a fuckin moron.
He had some good ideas for sure, but the man himself was just manipulative twat. His products are insufferable to use. Even as an apple certified repair technician for years I despise everything about apple and it’s many products.
Uses the same commands as Linux
Maybe CMD, but not GUI and actually using it.
Windows 11 in a corporate environment , Jesus wept, what a fucking disaster of a system. It just gets in your way.
One of the original Windows CE-based PDAs. Fuck that thing was a nightmare to use and even worse to sync to your PC. Early mobile technology was a lesson in frustration and disappointment.
Thank goodness PocketPC and later Windows Mobile 5/6 were much better designed. I still prefer my Palm device, tho.
Macbook pro
The aluminum chassis is stupid and has sharp edges so if you use the laptop on the go it’s likely to cut your wrists. The screen is so glary you can’t use the thing outside at all. The keyboard is really bad and I had one of those with a touchbar which is the dumbest laptop idea ever that would constantly get activated by slight brush or water droplet. And macos is such a terrible operating system full of legacy restrictions and commands you can’t customize or animations you can’t remove.
I had to use one for a contract I had with an US firm for security auditing and it dropped my productivity in half tho it was fun to explore the apple world on someone else’s dime knowing it’s temporary but I’m not going back ever.
Soloing an Alaskan Chainsaw Mill. Bro didn’t show up one day and I had logs to cut.
One of the early Samsung Android phones. They dropped „support“ less than a year after release and even during that time refused to acknowledge serious bugs.
The community built Android versions managed to fix most bugs, and even made dual touch possible, but then again could only do so much without all sources. And usually they were not the most stable either.
On the one hand having a smartphone with touchscreen, apps etc. was amazing. On the other hand Samsungs bullshit meant I wasted a lot of time chasing a properly working software for my phone that it should have had from the beginning.
A tape backup auto loader. It was two racks large and regular would have problems, mostly software related. Commvault was the software. Every month was a cage fight.
Not THE most cumbersome, but any time I’m at a friend’s place or visiting my little brother and we play on their Nintendo Switch consoles, I’m so surprised by how stupidly slow and shitty the OS is. Especially the store is so fucking bad.
I buy codes from Amazon if I’m buying digitally lol
Any phone larger than my 2016 iphone SE. I have a fairphone and it’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a phone but it’s SO BIG. It has a one handed mode, but that turns itself off whenever you tap the back button, which is so annoying it’s making me aggressive. I used to lie in bed, chilling, looking at memes with one hand while the other arm was cosily under the blanket. That’s a thing of the past. I also can’t rest the hand I have chronic pain in because I always need to use both hands to not keep dropping my phone and reach all of the screen.
I’m the opposite as my hands are big af
It’d be nice to have variety to choose from so you can suit your needs. But I guess fulfilling everyone’s needs isn’t profitable.
I dread when people ask me to help them with their phone because they’re usually tiny as hell 🤣
The first time using a zweihander.
I just thought of the zweihander and long swords in general in Rune Factory 4, and how slow and cumbersome they are lol, my least favorite weapon type
I’m left handed. What’s the character limit around here, 'cause I have much to add.
Did you love those college desks? Lmao when I was in college ironically they only had left handed ones. If only we had full desks that were for whichever.
Off the top of my head a Fuji FinePix S5700 I had borrowed from a friend for some time (that was more than 10 years ago). That thing was doing continuous focus while on and idle, and it would lock focus when you half-press the shutter button - so completely backwards to what you’d normally expect from a camera.
All the various gardening equipment that was made for someone several inches taller than me. Things to edge lawns, shovels, rakes, just a lot of stuff.
Probably a forklift, those things are heavy af.
