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?
Well computer is very positive. We could all learn something from him. 🤭

Sounds like when you drop something and then you catch it super quickly
That moment you fail a exam Just because of 1 point . This is hilarious.
That's from the machine that tested Trump for Covid. It's the reason why he "tested very positively in another sense... tested positively toward negative." Speaking of Covidiots!
That’s a demo of the new TrumpOS 1.0. There is no error handling.

Well, you can fail. And you can fail successfully. It's all a matter of perspective.
Just a quick reprogramming of the messages and replacing completed with failed. I did something similar with my XP installation disk (Old ain't I) where it said during installation Gathering Information For Installation I changed it to Checking For Stuff To Wreck
Why would a task be failed successfully? Why would you want a task failed? Okay nevermind I want the growing up task failed successfully
i have successfully failed deleting that very offensive message your little brother sent to your crush, your welcome!! 😁
Well.....I guess if your goal was for it to fail in order to demonstrate to someone that it would fail....
LOL, i legit was on MS Excel back when I was in University, and when i compiled the sheet, it prompted me that 😅 Find me on MeWe 🙃!

This is how I want to fail... successfully. You've got to be good at at least one thing, right?
As long as you give it your all, you give 100%, then it doesn't matter how you did. See, right here? This is proof. Still a job well done.
Begging the question: What happens when you fail at failing?

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...
