Ruined by Technology Someone put my Japanese chef's knife in the dishwasher and now it's rusted
I was carefully cleaning it by hand immediately after every use to keep it as dry and clean as possible and now this 🙃
I guess I'll need a sharpening stone or something.

Ruined by Technology Roblox age verification verified my 6 years old nephew as 17 years old
Most kiddos like Roblox, and nephew is no exception. So when he came to me and asked me to help him set up an account, I decided to let him(and play under my supervision since I also happen to have an account). When we reached the face recognition section, it absolutely SUCKED ASS CUS WHAT DO YOU MEAN A BOY WHO IS AT HIS TENDER AGE OF GOD DAMN SIX IS SEVENTEEN. AND THE WORST PART IS I CAN’T REVERT IT TO HIS ACTUAL AGE FOR SOME REASON.
Edit: We decided not to play Roblox again after this shenanigan(which I should have done from the start)

Ruined by Technology Brother In Law asking ChatGPT why I hate AI
Everyone in my family knows how I feel about AI, so this kind of pissed me off. I know he finds it funny, but I don’t like being used as a reason to use ChatGPT. I’ve explained many times why I don’t like AI, and that includes all (edit: Generative) AI not just ChatGPT. I have many reasons why I dislike AI so much, but the concern for our environment is a major one.
Edit: I just wanted to clarify a bit. Number 1, I don’t think using “pissed off” was the right descriptor for how I felt, more so I was just irked by it.
Number 2, I love my BIL even if he can be frustrating sometimes, he has always treated my sister right and I don’t think I could imagine a better guy for her. He’s genuinely a very sweet guy who does things that sometimes are dumb or annoying, just like everyone else.
Number 3, like I said I have MANY problems with AI, the environment being a big one, but there are a lot more such as using AI in any form of art such as movies, shows, books, video games, etc. I don’t think AI can replace real human emotion or experiences that creating such things require. Another is the way ChatGPT specifically in my opinion is being used by people as therapists/friends, it just says what the user wants to hear not what they need to hear and I think that is harming lot of people.
Number 4, I’m not perfect. Of course I have a carbon footprint and have also done my fair share of harm to the environment. It’s impossible not to. I’m not going to act like some holier than thou person because I don’t use AI (if I can help it), but I try my hardest to be environmentally conscious. At the end of the day that’s really all we can do.
So, that’s it. Hope everyone has a good day! Bye! 👋🏼

Ruined by Technology AI Generated Anime Has Gotten Harder to Spot
This was made entirely by AI.
I've watched it several times and I have to be honest: I could see nothing about it that told me that it was AI. If you just came across this clip in the wild (and didn't know that it was posted by someone named KeshiAIArt) would you be able to tell that it was AI?
I hate this direction we're heading in.

Ruined by Technology I can't use the scanners at the airport because I'm missing a finger
Scanning four fingers on your right hand is now part of the EU's digital Entry/Exit System required for non-EU citizens (British passport holders).
I'm missing a finger on my right hand and therefore can't use the system, and have to be manually processed by border security each time 🫠.

I received over 70 notifications from LoJack telling me that I was speeding. Uhhhh… a stretch of Interstate Highway 10 from Katy to San Antonio Texas has speed limit of 75mph. I’ll be ran over if I drove any slower. So annoying.

Ruined by Technology Windows installed a 2.4 GB Disney game on it's own. I didn't approve or install this.
Went through Apps & features today and found Disney Magic Kingdoms (2.43 GB), installed on 10/8. I never downloaded or approved it. Turns out Windows has a "suggested apps" feature that silently installs sponsored apps from the Microsoft Store.

Ruined by Technology Children swings have a phone holder at playground
A molded phone with smiley face and arrow pointing into the “V” shaped compartment. Some screen time is just what they need now that you’re outside to play.
Edit: If used for video of kid swinging: great.
If used for screen time by a lazy parent/guardian: infuriating.

in class i doodle alot because our lecturers tend to repeat themselves four hundred and ninety seven times and its a waste of my time. one of my classmates who is a genuinely sweet woman made a compliment about my doodles and for the last two shes ended up saying "wow youre so gifted, this looks almost as good as AI." shes an amazing person and i enjoy studying with her but it was hard not to recoil from that comment. and no this isnt me making it up. this very much happened.

I went to charge it all last night and when I woke up to use them, the right one didn’t have any charge. This happens semi regularly, but just rarely enough that I forget about checking to make sure they are both getting charge.

Ruined by Technology Binged GTA 4 this weekend to learn that the final mission is unbeatable.
So.. it’s basically impossible to perform this quick time because the game was programmed off a certain frame rate for how many taps. Playing this on the new Xbox means I have to essentially tap A about 50 times in a single second. Spent roughly 18 hours to not be able to finish the game, yay.
EDIT: To those of you suggesting I disable FPS boost, I can’t. In console settings both Auto HDR and FPS boost is grayed out.
Edit 2: it’s automatically scaled to 60fps on the series x, I’m going to attempt to use a massage gun on my controller. What have I become.
EDIT 3: Massage gun was unsuccessful, starting to think I’ll have to do this knuckle trick yall are recommending.
EDIT 4: YALL WE DID IT, my three ruined knuckles did it! Let’s hope I actually finish the mission and can fly well. Hijacking top comment to show proof.
Thank you to everybody for your advice and help. <3

Ruined by Technology The way I need to play a CD I own since (almost exactly) 20 years. Copy protection became listening protection.
I bought that CD a few days and 20 25 years ago. All my new devices can’t read the disk because of a annoying copy protection (DOCdata). As the anniversary came up, I carefully opened my signed issue and put it into my player. It failed to read the disk. So I tried my PC which reads almost all disks usually. Yeah but not this one. Even covering the outer track didn’t work. So I asked my child to use that cheap children’s karaoke-CD-player-device. Started right to play so now it’s connected via AUX to my amp. Sounds pretty good though.
Edit: that Album isn’t on any streaming platform. Only on YouTube at pretty bad quality.
And: it’s been 25 years. Not 20 years.
Also: they reissued that album with no CP copy protection 5 years later.
Edit 5: The album is "Zwei" by "Eins Zwo", a German rap group. Also they reissued that album in 2006 with no copy protection. Who ever wants to know: Reissue, Original Issue, I own
In addition to this: I will not connect that player to my pc and record it via aux. I've done that before and the result was underwhelming. Quite some noise and stuff. That's the reason why I usually try to get all my CDs via Exact Audio Copy to my NAS.
Edit 6: I’m overwhelmed by your comments and support. A friendly redditor already helped me out with a way to Flac files of my record. Thank you all so much. Also I’m very thankful for your positive thoughts and feedback!
