This is why I still print boarding passes. @jetblue app logged me out the day of my flight. This is what the Forgot Password section of their app looks like. Worst IT dept in the industry.

@UPS @FedEx Also, couple of really irritating design decisions on @UPS's site when it is working: 1) When logging in from a fresh browser (bc I did try more than one), this cookie popover appears after a couple of seconds. For some GODFORSAKEN REASON it steals focus away from the user/pw

The @UPS site is barely loading, timing out, getting server-side errors, and not able to fetch tracking info when neither of the other 2 problems are occurring. (@FedEx works fine, so I doubt it's my internet connection before you ask.)

@Starlink Hmm.. I need to walk that back a tiny bit. My Starlink account still shows my Performance Gen 3 kit as being in the "Preparing Shipment" phase, with no tracking number attached. However, just a bit over an hour ago I got a FedEx notification that I'm getting a package from

@Starlink This is getting silly. Now I'm eligible for a warranty replacement on cables for a device that hasn't even shipped yet... Just ship my device with the correct cables at this point, no?

And Google seems to allow that much bandwidth per stream, whereas Apple does not.

Not to start a whole thing, but why are iCloud downloads always incredibly slow, while Google Photos (& Drive etc.) downloads are not slow at all? @Apple

@amazon @Sony Amazon's customer service can't explain it, because they can't be contacted -- just takes me in a loop to return it without being able to ask for a human. I really really really regret not buying this from @bhphoto.

I'd really love @amazon to explain to @Sony that they're selling their products as "new", but they arrive looking like trash -- no box, no documents, no accessories. Note: This was NOT a third-party seller. Seller and shipper were both https://t.co/RYilVmiPAN.

Anyone know if this is a legit @TSA or @IdemiaGroup email? Trying to figure out if it's a data breach if not. I deleted it immediately because the From domain was so phishy. Took a closer look because I realized it went to my TSA-specific email alias and had the correct

@Starlink I guess like Starlink's satellites, this story has a lot of ups and downs. Just got an email saying the replacement equipment will ship in 4-6 weeks. And they added another month service credit. But if the thing takes the full 6 weeks to go out the door, then a week to get

@Starlink Well, I guess Jorge is my new best friend for today. Also threw in one month of service, and I don't have to return the old equipment after all. Can't argue with the end result! Appreciate it, @Starlink

@Starlink Really glad I reopened that ticket! Gen3 replacement will hopefully be shipped out soon.

@Starlink responded to my support ticket and then promptly closed it. Upshot is that I should just get new hardware (on a new plan), but the new hardware would be "rented" @ $0, returnable if I cancelled my sub. Thus, the old hardware would just get thrown in the trash;

I received this email from @Starlink saying my device would be bricked if I didn't update it by Nov 17. It's now Nov 16, yet it apparently bricked anyway. @elonmusk

Oh wait, you can! After paying online it still FOR SOME GODFORSAKEN REASON takes 2-3 BUSINESS DAYS to post the payment. I guess their computers only work on weekdays. Cool. 👍 So I guess my payment is late. I should've paid by phone, so it seems I'm the idiot. Of course,
