James King @jamesk.ing · 14/05/2026My Internet went down recently. The AI CS agent chatbot tried to gaslight me that my Internet service was not down, I didn't restart my modem/router correctly, and eventually told me that my ISP doesn't sell internet service and that I should write my congress person about my Internet being down. 000

James King @jamesk.ing · 12/04/2026This is the state of my inbox over the past 3 months (since I last cleaned it out). 95% of them are AI companies. Why are so many AI companies seemingly so desperate for engineers? Why don't they just use AI? If it's good enough for their customers, why isn't it good enough for them? 010

James King @jamesk.ing · 31/12/2025The #eBay buyer experience is so painful these days. One out of a dozen examples: If the seller has disabled accepting messages, then WHY show the link, let me write a message, THEN give this BS "error" as if this is my fault somehow? Are you trying to drive buyers off the platform? 010
James King @jamesk.ing · 30/12/2025If your product asks for feedback. Do NOT tell me I typed too many characters after I took my time to write out said solicited feedback. WHY IS THERE A CHARACTER LIMIT? One errored telling me 512 characters. So I cut it down then it errored again telling me it was actually 128 characters. WTF. 000
James King @jamesk.ing · 29/11/2025Whoever decided that "restart" for the P button challenges in Mario Kart World shouldn't actually retry, but instead respawn you out front the button. So you have to hit it, watch the entire un-skippable camera flyover all over again every single time should have a finger wagged at them very angrily 000
James King @jamesk.ing · 24/10/2025The @tailwindcss.com vs "write your own CSS, dummy" debate is always derailed by dogmatic absolutionists. Utility classes aren't the devil, and neither is S/CSS. You can use both at the same time! I've rediscovered Bootstrap recently, and have been impressed by what feels like a pragmatic balance. 000
James King @jamesk.ing · 07/10/2025A must watch. This @kurzgesagt.org vid isn't about AI ripping them off (despite that being true). It looks far deeper, and uses their experience in deep research and fact checking to prove how cooked we really are.

James King @jamesk.ing · 24/09/2025Apple lets anyone play audio to your ATV over BT with zero passcode or anything by default. It's absurd. I have a ton of neighbour ATVs show up on my audio output menu on my Mac and I cannot disable discovery on my end as long as I have BT enabled on my machine. How is this still a thing?! 000

James King @jamesk.ing · 08/06/2025Seeing "AI" enter its "mad cow disease" era didn't give the schadenfreude I expected. Honestly didn't expect it to go this far - AI was so aggressively and parasitically deployed that it quickly eradicated its own food source. AI training itself on AI output turns out to not be a great idea. 000

James King @jamesk.ing · 14/01/2025This is probably one of the most gutting, yet highly plausible futures that faces society. We already treat eachother with so little humanity online.
