So this is just a general whinge about the state of the world and how every interface with technology is broken.

  1. I buy a replacement phone.
  2. I open it up the box and look at the instruction manual (I know already I'm the territory of having to hand back my man card - real men DO NOT read the instructions)
  3. First thing the instruction manual say is "Refer to the onscreen instructions on your device to configure it"
  4. I turn the phone on, the first instruction on the device is "Refer to the instructions that were provided with your device"
  5. I look back at the instructions and it gives a URL for more information on their website (ie a user guide)
  6. I go to my laptop, enter the URL and get a 404 "page cannot be found" error.

The absolute fucking state of it all.

Still at least I can come here and be "virtually" among the last few sane people on the planet. Love you all.
