This is another level of petty, I love it Maybe it will inspire them to hire more engineers and we can kill two birds with one stone.

This is never an issue with number of engineers, it's an issue of business priorities.

Large tech companies have plenty of engineers to fix bugs, but most of them are on projects trying to 10X things instead of paying down debt.

Apple used to be unique in it's immunity to it, they even shipped an OS update claiming it was only big fixes and not features which is unthinkable these days. Over time there's much less focus on polish from them though.

Solid list. I’d like to add the following:

- All: Contact syncing with Office 365 results in stored birthdays getting moved forward by one day. - macOS: Bluetooth audio stuttering when going in and out of full screen view in a given app such as PowerPoint. - macOS: Unlock using Apple Watch will randomly stop working - macOS: Safari suddenly going out to lunch and taking 30+ seconds to load a page (fixed by force quitting the entire browser).

A domain name registered one day ago. I think this is the first time I’ve seen a domain on its first/second day, other than my own domains.

I did not intentionally look it up. I have an extension installed that tells me domain age whenever I visit a site.

Had the pleasure of making an Apple account to join our company's developer team. I filled out the form on the website 7 times: Edge on Windows, Edge on macOS, Safari on macOS, using 2 different phone numbers. No matter what, Apple just refused to send the verification code to me. It only worked after I remember Apple is a dick to the web platform, then I managed to create one from the popup in the App Store.

I had a similar issue when I first brought my iPad. Turns out, Apple doesn't like custom domains for emails. So, I had to make an Apple account with a Gmail account, then remove the Gmail account and add my email address with the custom domain.

Why? Who knows. Still remember my first experience after buying an iPad.

Last time I made a satirical site I was banned from the registrar (I was "convincing" people that aliens were real apparently)

> Maybe it will inspire them to hire more engineers

Given Apple's recent software quality, this would likely just let them ship more bugs.
