Sup Arun , came quick after notifications
Hi
Hehe
Yes,
Number 1- how you can't see iphone emojis on Android
Number 2, go on mobile, RUclips, subscriptions and turn your phone horizontally, wile watching a video, and now try to scroll...
random disconnection of wifi?
We get bombarded with advertising saying we need the latest devices when in reality we use the same apps we have used for years
great point
@Mrwhosetheboss hi
@Mrwhosethebossomg Arun plz see this huge fan don’t want anything just wanted to say hi
The last time I upgrades my phone was because Outlook, of all apps, decided to be impossibly unreliable and slow in my previous phone. An email app.
@thereviewer7931 Not so great point anymore
The one thing I find more annoying than ads are the fake ads and the fake X buttons. Then there's the multi-step ad. You go through the advert, like 30 seconds worth, before the exit button pops up. But, it turns out that it just leads to a new screen that makes you wait 5-10 seconds longer for the actual exit button to appear.
Edit: Look I just read a lot of stuff. So the ads are usually to unlock stuff like fast passes and story chapters...
You are watching those dodgy websites again.
Taran what did I say about going on those orange websites
@Bill-uf6osor just a mobile game
porn addicts are crazy bru... tons of mobile games have those. yall need to leave the hub
merge cooking
As a tech lover, I can confirm that tech has trolled us in different ways
e
My videos are 50x better and have more entertainment value
i thought you said "rolled" and not "trolled", which would've made sense given whose channel we're on right now
_like c'mon man it was right there_
yep
@cowdudefan123650x better😂😂, do you even watch your own videos, because if you did then you would probably realise that they're probably 500x worse 😂
4:44 did he predict something 😂😅
he really did 😂
he is the oracle
Jesus Christ loves you john 3:16-21, I wish you a nice nice day❤️😁, May God bless you ❤️😁
I’m confused
@mustmustmustmust9045 what does this deal with the video
Similar to #11, web pages that constantly try to force you to download their app rather than just provide the content you're looking for. Reddit has become really bad about this.
Reddit is pretty much bad for anything because political discussions cannot be separated from other discussions. Additionally, if you have a conservative or centrist political leaning, you may be excluded or banned from certain subreddits. What a wasted potential.
@AresEverett subs have a right from banning u
@mirror1643 Subs however do not have a right from banning me if I am being respectful and not breaking any rules. Plus I am not banned from any subs. I am perma banned on Reddit itself.
or even force you to make an account, so then they could sell your data and make money
@AresEverett I also think it's great to listen to the pros/cons of a media or device or things we discuss but in reddit, downvotes are kind of really bad. It's actually nice if people dislike what I said but that was my opinion , it atleast provides some context. I like hearing things people say bad about things I like to see from their eyes. I don't want to dismiss the good or the bad. Like how I like apple as product but hate the company for anti repair . but Still understand their good intentions to some extent ( less like hate , more like " ah here we go again kind of sigh when they defend the removal of charger or probably charge you more for things you didn't knew you will need ! )
Tech companies need to watch this. Arun is speaking for all of us.
The problem is quite a lot of these frustrations are by design so the companies can make more money. They don't need to watch this, because they know what they're doing. Profit over inconvenience.
@marzoval If they were to make it conveniece over profit they would make way more money than they actually do in the first place, also anyone else notice Grindr: gay dating and chat on the phone at 4:41
The other thing is just because you find it frustrating doesn’t mean they’re required to change it. And also just because you find something frustrating doesn’t mean someone else doesn’t find it liberating
Im your 300th like
Facts
I COULD RANT ABOUT THE SUBSCRIPTION THING ALL DAY. the fact that we no longer own products or services but rather rent them out frustrates me so much. i’d much rather pay a large solid price for a service like adobe premiere pro than be paying a month subscription
Time to sail the seas my friend
they are pushing people towards piracy
Yessss! I love love love one time purchases! You save tons more money and you basically own the subscription now! I refuse to do monthly or yearly payments unless I absolutely HAVE to.
@steffortless Never stopped lmao
It's getting to obscene levels. As an example: I no longer own my insulin pump, the company charges my insurance every month to "lease" it. How long until they start charging a monthly fee for organ transplants?
9:25 THAT CATCH WAS SOOOOO PERFECT
This video made me mad, meaning everything here is 100% true and relatable. Tech sometimes seems to find a way to ruin my day, like no I don't want to give a calculator the permission to use my camera 💀
Oh no because you didn't do that your phone's selfdestructing in 10 seconds
pov you say no camera for calculator
it turns on camera and says PUT ON CAMERA FOR CALCULATOR
mad
Why the hell does your calculator app need access to your camera? 💀Unless there is a secret feature that requires it which I highly doubt there is.
And even worse: why the app gets the information about whether you accepted. There should be a third option, "fake it".
@AntonioNoack apps are getting smart these days especially with those devs with this newer generation.
I think the most infuriating thing is how every gadget / tech thing needs wifi and an app...
My videos are 50x better and have more entertainment value
This. And half the time the app is pretty much unusable.
It's especially frustrating when it's for something like a smartwatch, which needs notifications to work reliably.
I don't know. I've almost destroyed two phones because Google maps thinks I know how far 100 feet is away at any given moment of time while moving down the road.
@Windstorm7x7-wl8ko That's why you can't rely only on the app, you still need to know roughly where you are and the layout of the streets. Google Maps is pretty good at its job, but it can only be as accurate as the sensors in your phone.
And forces you to create an account just to use said app
I think we can all agree that the captcha traffic light thing is easily one of _the_ most infuriating
On god this stuff gets me so mad 💀💀
I think Google knows I have OCD at this point because of that
They only look for 3. Click 3 of the closest and then verify. You don't have to get every single pixel.
Taking it any day over the ones with the letters and numbers where sometimes I don't know if it's a mama Z or a baby z.
Bro should be a CEO
18:38 the buttons next to the play/pause button is for that
I feel like nobody in my family understands me when I rant about these issues. Glad to see I’m not only one who notices them
Same
omg samee
Same 3
Certified Us moment 🗿
Go to a tech school. We're all complaining😭
Number 101: That one YT comment trend that says they will do a push up for every like
True
Number 102: every advert on RUclips seems to be worse on TV and on consoles to the point where you’re forced to either pay the subscription or just exit and go back to the video you’re trying to watch
Or the one when they say "those who didn't come from tiktok are allowed to like"
103: EVERY LIKE BEGGAR
104: soon, 8 - 10 UNSKIPPABLE ADS
103: how you need to log into a fire tv to rename it
I wish I was joking this was a genuine problem to the point I just manually linked because it kept going to the wrong screen
My absolute worst one is how some mobile games (usually the voodoo ones I hate that company) have decided that showing an ad after every round isn't enough and they have to play audio ads while you are in the game. I want this made into a crime
plus when they ask if you want to watch an ad to "double your reward" or something, then you say no and they give you an ad anyway.
plus when i try to turn off internet on my phone to not get ads and then they just say u cant play this game without ads
I recognize that company name... I can't remember from what game though
Just vote with your actions... Refuse to download and use them.
so real @AticusBee
15:05 and then when you reply how they will just say “this was 7 years ago i forgot lol”
You REALLY spoke on behalf of all of us here bro!!
"Sorry, your new password cannot be the same as your old password"
Gets me every time
9:29 finally, he’s asking the hard questions
I’ve been bothered by that since I was a kid
Another thing that I absolutely adore are those ads that look like a download button so you don't know which download button to click
9:33 cuz eggman wasnt skipping the leg day😂
Was Sonic?
Surprisingly profound @Cole_Is_A_Mole
One more tech frustration: When you're searching for something online and hoping for a written article about it but its only available as a video, so you have to watch the whole video to find the answer you're looking for... and even then, the video may well be clickbait and not give you an answer at all.
Most videos dont have subtitles. Tada 🎉
or even worse: when you search for the solution to something, and you find someone asking the same question for the same scenario getting an answer which worked for them, but it doesnt work FOR YOU
at least the problem is slightly mitigated with transcripts in youtube
@vishalsgwhen you need to use a custom video player and the audio quality is somehow worse and they don’t give you the option or even the option to link back to RUclips if it was a RUclips video
This is why I hated doing anything using puzzle is the custom video player (yes I know it had a purpose but if you can’t make out certain things it gets really annoying really fast)
@auliamate or worse again, you search, find a forum discussing it, only to scroll the whole page to see their convo went nowhere or they simply just gave up 🤦♂️
For no. 5 at 18:12, the reason why you can’t use Face ID or Touch ID when the device has been restarted is simply due to the Secure Enclave being locked. In broad strokes, the way Face ID/Touch ID work is when they scan your face or fingerprint, the scan gets converted into a model which is then compared to the one stored on the Secure Enclave and when the comparison is done, the Secure Enclave just outputs a Boolean authentication token (true or false) which will either unlock or keep the device locked respectively. So you can’t use any biometric authentication until the Secure Enclave has been unlocked by the passcode. The same mechanism is used to temporarily disable Face ID/Touch ID by pressing and holding the side and volume buttons. The whole point is to use something other than biometrics to unlock the Secure Enclave, hence the passcode.
I'm surprised Arun doesn't know that.
iiiiiiiii69iiiiiiiiii not really. Comes in handy when biometric sensors fail to operate. And making the user enter the passcode every now and then will make sure they remember it. Imagine not using the passcode for months, many users forget.
..let alone ensuring it’s actually you.
that egg man running as fast as sonic was the best part of this video
It’s a weird vibe seeing Arun be negative for 18 minutes straight…
fr
I wouldn't call it being negative, its more of pointing out actually frustrating points in tech
20 minutes of complaining XD
@AhmedHuzain yeah ur right
I can't even begin to tell how relatable this video is to my daily life struggles with technology. Atleast I'm not the only one.
I agree with so much as well. Although some of these are solved by using Android and not Apple. IE: The back button. It works for RUclips.
So true. I hate most of these facts......
Absolutely! I was nodding along as Arun kept listing them!
Imagine if Arun had his own phone company no regrets on buying the phones😂.
I say he stick to being boss
He does though, Passionfruit
BRUH HE HAS "PASSIONFRUIT"
Passtionfruit the phone of the future. Never gonna give you up😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wasn't expecting this video to be so good and relatable, good thing you kept it fast pace even though it's a long video
My videos are 100x better
@cowdudefan1236 Nope, just checked, yours are rubbish , all 3 of them 🤣
@cowdudefan1236in your dreams yes
@cowdudefan1236 Move along little one
the best caption was why is it that egg man is able to run as fast as sonic. Literally makes no sense🤨😂
I like how the guy in the background takes away the BMW carseat😂😂😂 15:38
I despise the fact that video game companies, mainly Nintendo, release half-baked games for beloved series, and when they do poorly, they assume that it's the series' fault and discontinue it
hi ea
@MrSir645Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
@Herobrine100xgame freak* lol
@why-m3g I'm sure a certain sonic jam owner is very happy about that being discontinued
18:12 there is a good reason for this. The reason it asks is because your passcode is needed to deencrypt the data on the phone, after the first time it saves that decryption key in the RAM which allows you to use Face ID, and then that is deleted on next restart
The Grindr app placement was soooo funny lmao
Why?
@XenittX do you know what grindr is?
I was not expecting to see that😂😭
Oh my god I agree with you on the tiktok voice.. it is so annoying, and is used outside of TikTok. I don’t use TikTok, and yet still hear it. AHHHHH
I hate that voice too, and I also don't use TikTok
Thankyou
Fun fact: the tiktok voice is someone's actual voice
@Nebulisuzeryeah, all text to speech is
Advertisements on social media other than tiktok with the TikTok voice infuriates me
17:26 that caught me off guard lmfao
Yeah LMAO
That was literally the only time I've ever been able to laugh at this ad.
that 89 problem of traffic lights catcha ,is hell
14:39 instagram does this but worse, you’re reading a very interesting post (or watching) and you tap the top and it refreshes your feed, that just boils my blood
Whenever an app asks "Are you satisfied" I say "no" and then "don't leave feedback". It's the fastest way. The second you say "Yes I like your app" they send you to the App Store to rate it and give a review.
1:42 Watching movies with my family sucks because of volume. One needs it quiet and others need it loud. Whether It's because you're used to it, can barely hear, or are sensitive to sounds, it's always a problem so we have to constantly raise and lower the volume based on if it's dialogue or loud sounds.
Headphones for every one
So true
Alternatively you can try running the audio through a compressor.
8:23 bro got angry💀💀💀
Love this video idea! I strongly dislike Netflix's auto-play features, like I just want to scroll and read the titles but Netflix auto plays the trailer in half a second. And physical game discs are a joke. I feel like we should just be able to buy games as a memory card nowadays so you dont have to be online to download them 🤬
I usually wind up muting my TV while I'm reading if I actually wanna watch this or that movie😅
Um physical games aren't are a joke to be honest but it's your opinion and I respect that
Nintendo still uses real physical games with no internet connection required!
@assassin8636he didn't say physical games, he said physical game disc's, which he thinks should be replaced by a memory card that you copy the game from. My issue with this is Piracy so maybe they make it proprietary idk
you can disable autoplay in your Netflix profile or account settings
An absolute glorious rant. Relatable on so many levels
Some of those are plain evil. Thanks for standing against those corporations and their abusive practices.
9:23 lol the person catching the phone
I'm surprised you haven't mentioned this, but what I find most infuriating is the fact that you need to create an account on almost every site you visit. Why would they require my email for something free or a trial of something?
Because they are not free. You pay with a bit of personal info.
and obviously you need a credit card for a "free" trial... companies hope you forgot about the subscription so they get more money 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Isn’t it weird that AI is asking us if we are robots
If ya think about it a certain way, yeah
Ya
he never fails to "Rick us up" 🤣
for those who didn't understand : 0:37 he Rick rolled us yet again !
9:27 that's crazy 😂😂
I get more and more shocked with every consistent Rick roll in the vids and how genius they keep being. Amazing video again Arun. Glad your channel is so big, you deserve it.
i didnt notice the rickroll this time. when was it?
Totally agree! Good work Arun!❤
Was it like… when he typed ‘Rick’?
…um, brilliant? 🤷🏻♂️
@Zoid5 it was multiple times
@Vikanuck yes
For number 89, i think captchas like the 'select all with traffic lights' as well as the 'tick this checkbox to prove you are not a robot' check your mouse movements to see if they are linear and robotic or arbitraire like an average humans will be, because bots can tick a box and identify traffic lights but cant really match the random mouse movements of a human
that is very interesting indeed - did not know that
What does it do on phones
I've heard that too and that obviously makes a lot of sense
IBM: In 2014 Google released reCAPTCHA v2, which replaced text- and image-based challenges with a simple checkbox stating "I am not a robot." As users check the box, reCAPTCHA v2 analyzes the user’s interactions with web pages, evaluating factors like typing speed, cookies, device history, and IP address to determine whether a user is likely to be human. The checkbox is also part of how the CAPTCHA works: no CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA tracks the user's mouse movements as they click the box. A human's movements tend to be more chaotic, whereas bots' movements are more precise. If no CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA suspects a user may be a bot, it presents them with an image-based CAPTCHA challenge.
What about phones
Surprisingly I relate to 99% of these. I miss the good old days where I actually own what I bought.
I have smth:
the fact that yt gives you embarrassingly long ad waits and half the time if those ads are inappropriate there is no way to skip them *even* if you report it. also why would i need to buy speed signs for the road i’m a potato on my bed 😂
This video isn't like most. You're talking about so many things that affect us on the daily and nobody seems to complain about. Thank you for bringing to light on these topics, because it is incredibly frustrating how there is such a lack of communication from a company to its customers, or just greed.
You really did sum up all the tech frustrations we face every single day. It's ironic how the gadgets meant to make our lives easier so often manage to do the opposite! Now I'm wondering how we ever got used to these quirks in the first place.
My number 1 is how everything seems to force or shove ads, purchases, subscriptions, notifications, or view something once then you see it everywhere and whatever else they want. When you can honestly care less with what they are pushing
Can’t care less *
for 1 sec I thought he had grindr installed on his phone
The biggest combo! I decided to download one of those Ad games, and then once I installed and played it, it was giving me Ads like every single time I win! So i was like "screw it" ill turn off my wifi and then only to realize that you need to be online AT A SINGLEPLAYER GAME!.
You can use a dns with ad blocking feature, so you don’t ever get ads in apps
I relate to about 90% of those tech frustrations. It was very enjoyable to watch. Thank you!
10:42 First time I've ever heard him cuss
i kinda like seeing arun just vent for a whole video lol
4:44 I O right this was a dig at MKBHD until I realized that this video came out before his wallpaper app. 😅
Man all these frustrations are very valid. Its insane to think how far some companies have got away with this for so long.
Why is there literally something SO satisfying about someone posting a video about every single persons pet peeves in tech?
Thank you and keep up the good work Arun!
Agreed! I actually told my partner "OMG you have to watch this video! I finally don't feel alone any more!" .
Companies could learn a lot by taking this video and actually learning something from it.
Found out the hard way the SE first gen wouldn’t get watchOS 11 (it doesn’t say what model I have just the type of case) so I very much so related to some guy saying it was dumb it didn’t come to the first gen SE under a Twitter post asking which update everyone was excited about
I love the captcha one. I always struggle with picking the boxes when they hang over just a bit 😂
captcha is for training AI NOT to prove you are a human
@1littlelee but you gotta do there crap tho, dosent matter what there reason is cuz if you dont then you very VERY often cant continue to get to the content ;)
4:31 not me buying a new printer bundle every time my ink runs out
Totally
@Bentley-E totslly
18:45 RUclips do have a back button atleast on my phone
Me too
Wdym?
@ForeverVirat18it on the web version I think
@Alabamanhistoriannah, its also on the app
Android has back button which can be use in any app, while Iphones don't have
Each 100 things arun mentioned is so relatable on daily basis
So glad I'm not alone!
Thanks mate, this video helped me a lot in understanding a basic thing that the problems which makes me frustrate to such an extreme level is a universal problem and there is nothing to loose your temper in the process and spoil your day rather than focusing on other important things 👍🏼
What frustrated you to such an "extreme" level?
9:28
The fact this is so high up is simply humorous to me
9:40
Yes I need to play Clash Royal on my fridge.
IKR like fr
Oj be like
I had a ten minute rant last night whilst opening Prime about the exact same thing. I want to carry on watching something from the night before why oh why put it half way down the page! Great video as always Arun ❤
I assume they want to push the stuff thats charged as extra rather than giving you the option to continue watching you've already paid for
I'd say the annoying GDPR popups here in UK on websites. It's so frustrating as is but once you cleared it, you will then be hit by offer popups.
Also, news article websites, even popular ones have got some many ads on them, not just picture ads, but auto-playing video ads, it really is soo annoying and incredibly hard to read. I usually resort to reader view on my iPhone otherwise, it really is unmanageable!
I have always thought this, but in reality, the sites are offering the news for free, they need to make money to pay their journalists and editors... Text and image ads pay close to nothing, so they have to opt for the video ads 😢 sad indeed.
Honestly, not sure what is best in this scenario, either a page full of ads or pay for the content... Both suck.
@rom-428 Ya, you are right, be thankful for free content but at what cost?? Not even being able to scroll because of all kinds of ads! I mean I have really seen some bad ones from popular sites .. totally inundated with ads, banners and auto-play video ads!
Maybe the designer of the PS5 disk drive is the same person who designed USB-A
2:52 your password must include one of our sponsors
18:52 in the RUclips app, using the previous video button, IS basically the back button 😁
I think this is my favourite video you've ever done. If even a handful of these companies make some changes based on this, it'll be a godsend
Agreed 👍
You depicted exactly how I feel to a point. Here take my like 🫡
9:45 if you're watching on pc without full screen the second notification looks like it's actually popping on your screen lol
For 86, this is why it is highly recommended to use a secure password manager as time goes on. They can generate and save passwords for you, and you most likely only need to remember one really secure password.
Tech repairs can sometimes be really annoying because they always try to get you to buy a whole new device instead
4:35 Thats why I use old printers that just print and doesnt ask if the ink is right or wrong. I still sometimes even use dot matrix printers because I really like the dot style it makes. Only problem with this is that I need a parallel port to use those old printers…
I love the okay button with scroll button
The sheer audacity of this editing. Truly inspiring
Sheer audacity yet still they don't bother to include timestamps
@AidenR19Well, I wouldn't bother putting 100 different timestamps in a video as well.. They are also human
@AidenR19 you can only add timestamps to a video when the "chapter" is at least 10 seconds long. so if there's less than 10 seconds between 2 timestamps it won't work.
@your_average_clippy They could do timestamps based on topics because the list was mostly grouped into specific topics like gaming and UI, etc.,
Offline games are a rarity now. I had an internship of sorts in a place where signals were sparse. So finding a game that actually works was so hard. This will backfire on companies eventually i feel. Gamers be it casual or hardcore will realise this madness and flip on them.
Couple i can suggest are piano tiles and colour switch
Gamers don't even realize they shoulnd't preorder games and give companies money without them having to deliver.
I'll suggest a good one, Life is strange
And Tower wars
I love that game
Well, Geometry Dash, terraria, and Minecraft are some examples for mobile games. Pc games that are offline factorio, the yakuza franchise, halo mcc, bg3, and stalker anomaly
4:39 grindr is crazy...
9:31 9:50 man 2 freight trains of nostalgia in less than 30 seconds...
I hate it when I am at night watching tv and then an action scene pops up and i wake up everyone in my house so I always got to be lowering and increasing the volume every few minutes
the smallest cross buttons on a mobile game ad
Any mobile ad
Especially if is the type that thinks your screen is a perfect rectangle and draws content all the way into the corners including under dead zones or intrusions (software masking said intrusions included *looking at you Dynamic Island*)
I’ve seen this happen it’s not fun to deal with and it doesn’t look good either
Hell I’ve seen games do this where they draw under the camera cutout
this turned out to be a lot more relatable than I expected it to be.
12:46 this is why maps that make you an arrow instead of a dot makes me happy, you can see exactly where you are going
12:35 not only laptops also phones, and more generally it is so annoying that they are adding all this stupid stuff that you don't need and they are removing the things that you do need(SD card, headphone jack and probably in the future even your charging port).
Your follow-up should be how to fix all of these. It could be a whole series. Just do 10 of these in each video. Kinda like in-app purchases. You have to keep coming back for more! 😂
I came here to type this but you already did. Any one who makes a video about how to fix these things can have my money and respect
THIS!!!
YESSSSSSSSS
1:56 recaptcha needs to be replaced with cloudflare turnstile
15:55 friendly reminder that you promised to build your own phone when you surpass Apple's sub count on RUclips .
Pin this
He is probably working on it.
He's working on it bro are you not a true Mrwhosetheboss fan? 😂 he mentioned in a previous video that it's in the works and he's collabing with a youtuber he worked with previously to build a shelf for his phone collection
And I thought I was the only one irritated by these small things. Good to know that I'm not the only one to notice and complain about them. Great video👍
7:20 No apple is harmed in this video 🤣🤣🤣
Is he carrying a car seat? 15:40
Yes 😂
Yes, did you not just watch Arun talk about the BMW seats?
I saw that and immediately went to the comments
He has a Car Seat Headrest there mh I wonder if he has ever listened to Teens Of Denial
I was wondering the same thing....
10:04 I thought I was the only one!!!
I've got one, when instagram tells you that you have unread messages only for you to refresh it a 1000 times and find nothing. So not really a tech thing but just broken apps.
Facebook by default opting you into sms notifications
The captcha one is literally the most relatable thing to me 😭
Actually RUclips does kind of have a back button, click the icon to the left of the pause icon it throws you to the previous vid
