Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!


This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Remember to read the rules before you make a post or comment!

A flight I was on recently touted in flight entertainment with movies, shows, music, and games. Connect to the plane WiFi and then, you connect to a website running on a local server on the plane.

It all began with me trying to open a new window in VS Code. The system started stuttering, like if the memory would be running out. So I tried to open Task Manager. It confirmed my feeling. Simplified Task Manager saying the memory is running out

But after a few seconds the system started working again. After reopening Task Manager it showed I as a user was consuming only 5.2GB out of 16GB. So I wanted to take a screenshot of this. The system froze (except music) and after a few seconds it went black and then the UI restarted. Then I noticed I had two task managers (which I could not have ever achieved), one of which has broken columns and the Signal app has also crashed. I still couldn't take screenshots, but at least it stopped crashing the system. So I hope restart helped fix this issue.

Personally, I think the reason for the weird crash was that I reduced recently paging file size from automatic (48GB!) To 8GB, since I was running low on storage. But as I said, opened apps were using under 6GB, so 10GB (with 8GB swap) for system should be enough, Microsoft!

Also, just a general "fuck the job search" from me.

I was looking for a post through the link from another instance and saw this error. The exit button ("Got it!") sounds like the search went through, given the lack of information in the error.

So I’ve received a paycheck, that is apparently dated for 10/23/2081. So that’s cool. Maybe I can get my holiday bonus 55.9 years early as well. 🤞🏻

This happened when I tried adding a black color clip into one of the tracks. It crashed a few seconds later.

Just decided to check an ad on YouTube, and yeah, it's a scam as I should've expected.

As for the speeds in ToS

However, please note that for unlimited mobile internet data plan Subscription users internet speed throttling will be applied. That means that You will either:

(a) receive 15 GB of data at full speed, after which the speed will be reduced to 256 kbps for the remainder of the 1-month cycle; or

(b) receive up to 1 GB of data at full speed each day, after which the speed will be reduced to 256 kbps for the remainder of the day.

They also say something along lines of "people pay $600 for data in 6 months, our unlimited data costs just a fraction of that", and yeah, I suppose 9/10 is a valid fraction.

Also, email us to cancel subscription?

How do I disable it permanently (both AI and the pain preferably)?

Windows 11, msconfig.
