Lack of functionality Digital measurement devices that only show “.0” or “.5” behind the decimal: What a waste of screen space!

Some electronics such as energy meters or car thermometers can only display “.0” or “.5” behind the decimal, instead of every digit.

Ah, yes!

I have subconsciously noticed that funny flickering too.

Does it flicker if you don't look at it...

It appears more flickering in the corner of the vision, if it is a LED segment display.

Could also be a brain clot too...

I'd wouldn't worry about it though

About this sub

What used to be a rarity in the golden age, has grown into a serious dread of users.

Useful features have been removed from newer versions of software (e.g. browsers, operating systems, websites) or successors of electronic devices such as mobile phones (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S6)?

A highly demanded feature of a product, software, etc. has still not been implemented?

There is a behavioural change in a newer version (e g. ) that just makes things worse?

Don't you despise the removal of good and useful features?

We know that ugly feeling too well.

Share your grievances here. Get it off your chest!

Including:

Behavioural changes
Useful features removed a long time ago
: Repetitive subconsciously annoying behaviours such as .
Shallow marketing (frankly stupid) excuses for removing functionality, such as “Courage”.

Tips:

Unvisited links appear in green, visited links appear as grey.
Also share features you think the entity should have implemented a long time ago already (e.g. water resistance on the 6s.)
You may share past bad experiences you had because of removed or missing features (e.g. in 2014, you could not record an important event in 2160p, because your 6 could only record in 1080p).
