People Are Sharing Pics Of The Worst Software Fails They’ve Encountered And They’re Hilarious
Turns out, there's a whole subreddit dedicated to celebrating software acting outside its parameters and its unpredictable malfunctions. It sounds geeky, but believe me, you don't need to be a hacker to appreciate it.
Nearly 1 million members belong to the online community, sharing pics and videos of the biggest glitches in the Matrix, including the time Netflix praised the Nazi party and an Uber driver went exploring in the sea.

"The failures that go viral within our community are usually those that have some humor in them," a moderator of the subreddit told Bored Panda. "For example, the description for the 'Hitler and the Nazis' documentary being displayed under the Spongebob movie."
The moderator said people who follow the subreddit seem to be really invested in it. "From the interactions I've seen, people often have an interest in programming and will try to theorize why the software failed. Some will also often meme the failure if it's funny."

But don't think that only regular home users experience software disruptions. For example, more than 100 flights to and from London's Heathrow airport were disrupted on the 16 of February 2020, after it was hit by technical issues, affecting departure boards and check-in systems. A spokesperson for Heathrow didn't say much, just bleated that it happened "due to the sensitive nature of those processes."
Another memorable software hiccup happened a few years earlier, in mid-January, 2016. Then, the Nest smart thermostat (owned by Google) experienced a glitch after a software update went wrong, forcing the device's batteries to drain and leaving it unable to control temperature, meaning that American users were unable to heat their homes or get hot water on one of the coldest weekends of the year. The company said the fault had been caused by a firmware update and quickly rolled out a new one to solve the issue.
You can't live without technology but sometimes you can't live with it, too.
How?

This Website Really Wants Me To Choose Iraq
"Well this product is designed for use (Iraq) everywhere. As you'll see (Iraq) the most lucrative markets ( Iraq) are well (Iraq) everywhere. The initial global response from product tests in (Iraq) showed an immense interests in (Iraq) our product. So, here you are the market (Iraq) is ready for our product and (Iraq) we are ready to provide you with it (Iraq)
Can we talk about the "miscellaneous third world countries" option? What's going on with this product?
: Where are you from? : I am from, Aircraft carrier, you? : I am from classified
No problem, our product can be used in both those countries.

What are they selling where you would have to list your country as classified or that you're in random third world countries?
I found this in a book in Google books and there and I guess it was a post on a website selling military airplanes (or something like that, maybe) as a joke. Starts on page 106. https://books.google.com/books?id=U9aVC3eDIx0C&pg=PA108&lpg=PA108&dq=please+indicate+the+locations+this+product+will+be+used+iraq&source=bl&ots=iY_APIr6As&sig=ACfU3U0-XnuLwHck-QyxW4_kLH5KQfXFTQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiMyKHZ_rTqAhWVLc0KHRIhBdUQ6AEwAHoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=please%20indicate%20the%20locations%20this%20product%20will%20be%20used%20iraq&f=false

Ok, this really made me laugh out loud! And now I want to listen to it, just to know what it sounds like. Did the program really interpret system preferences like an audio file (that would be so cool and weird)... or did someone make an audio file with that title and matching thumbnail for the laughs? Now I come to think about it, probably the latter...
