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 is the lyrics to a Bob Dylan tune. It's called 'Everything is broken'
The lyrics in full: Broken lines, broken strings, Broken threads, broken springs, Broken idols, broken heads, People sleeping in broken beds Ain't no use jiving Ain't no use joking Everything is broken Broken bottles, broken plates, Broken switches, broken gates, Broken dishes, broken parts, Streets are filled with broken hearts Broken words never meant to be spoken, Everything is broken Seem like every time you stop and turn around Something else just hit the ground Broken cutters, broken saws, Broken buckles, broken laws, Broken bodies, broken bones, Broken voices on broken phones Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin', Everything is broken Every time you leave and go off someplace Things fall to pieces in my face Broken hands on broken ploughs, Broken treaties, broken vows, Broken pipes, broken tools, People bending broken rules Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking, Everything is broken

When you got a computer that quotes Bob Dylan, you're pretty much screwed anyway.
Way more likely that this really happened, it's exactly the sort of thing coders do.

Well, at least it didn't just fail an assert and quit. Hats off to the programmer :)
Smells like Inspect Element (for those of you who don’t know that allows you to alter almost any text on your computer)
Do you mean browser? I've never heard of something like that for outside of the browser, so if it exists I'm very curious.

I like the bit at the bottom: seriously though, this error should NEVER be shown. If you are a user, god speed. Exit while you can.

Lyrics of an excellent song of Bob Dylan. Thank you, i am going to listen to it right now
I love that error message, especially the last part, I wouldn’t mind getting it
I've written error messages like that. Because often people don't report the errors. So if its really bad, you want them to remark on it.
Yeah, I've done stuff like that. I have a file called Maker after the Dragon Age creator. And one of the macros in there is called "broadleaf forest". Because it creates more sheets (leaves). And I have a small macro for when people mess up an excel and write into cell XY250, messing up the last cell. What it does is reset to the last cell that currently has something in it. It's called 'kill the boy' (which is a Song of Ice and Fire reference). My error messages are similarly random and hard to understand without knowing me. I never expected anyone to use my programs, let alone make some of them standard tools for THE IT at large. I have acquired a certain reputation. Not necessarily a bad one, but certainly a weird one.
If you see this error, your number is up! You must guess whether it's in the lottery, or death pool!
"Exit while you can" what is this, some sort of warning from the last Jumanji user?

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...

There are different versions of MS Office and the MS Office product keys don't apply to other MS Office versions.
