Don't you find that these days people are constantly meddling and changing things that didn't need "fixing" or changing?
Down all the years I've used ebay, they have been prime examples of that and many times they've made changes that've messed up other things and we used to almost dread the Friday "updates".
To counter the criticisms, the meddlers have just dismissed the complaints as "Oh, people don't like changes". They're right they dont because most changes weren't needed and were unasked for. Asked for changes get ignored.
A recent update to my browser, Waterfox caused me a lot of problems. It affected my email programs and often, the whole system "locked up".
However, the update to Watefox a couple of days ago fixed all the problems I'd been having so I wonder what had provoked the programmers to change things in the first place?
You're not supposed to use your hand-held mobile phone while driving or even sitting in the driving seat with the keys in the ignition so why have "modern" cars got umpteen gadgets which have to be fiddled with when driving? Nothing's "simple", lots of things have a menu and you've got to look at a screen..... They never learn. If there's an easy way to do something, they'll promote the convoluted way.
What do you find?
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
