I was gonna word it as “flip off” but I think that might’ve been confusing.

My answer would generally be a few times a week for various reasons.

    I proposed a long time ago a mandatory “fuck you” button for all software…

    Usually never… I did a tablet last night.

    Been doing a network change, have setup multiple vLAN’s and WiFi SSID’s that connect to specific vLAN’s. This tablet is still connected to the same AP and SSID but kept saying it couldn’t authenticate. It was powered down during the switch and rebooted a couple times. Put in the password again and still couldn’t authenticate… after 3 tries finally got pissed, gave the tablet the finger, and walked away.

    It was connected and working fine this morning, go figure.

    Will probably be pissed at it again when I make a bunch of firewall rule changes today.

      In IT it’s a requirement to flip off machinery that refuses to work. It’s therapeutic and only offends clankers.

    Flipped off my Mac two days ago and texted it to a friend who shares my annoyance with forced updates

    Rarely, and never to the machine itself, but some asshole who shows up.

    I don’t get mad at machines. That’s like getting mad at a fork for not being a spoon.

    Every time I have to do something in a Microsoft admin interface at work. Worst software on the planet, fuck SharePoint, fuck Teams, burn it all to the ground.
