"#firstworldtechproblems"


  

          

Post your most obvious First World Tech problems here.

Examples:

I have to actually click the Back button on the browser? I can't use a swipe gesture?

Why isn't ______ feature available in the free version like it is for the app that costs $3.99?

This controller isn't compatible with both my PC AND my XBOX?

Why doesn't this bus have Wi-Fi? I don't want to use my unlimited 4g dataplan.

This tablet takes one minute to start-up. It used to take thirty seconds.

You're still using Windows 7??!??

I can't DVR eight shows at the same time?

My DVR only holds 500 hours of content?

This HD is only 720p.

My new TV is only 60 inches across.

Man, downloading this FLAC album took twenty minutes.

Add on.

That moment where you realize your friend's hard drive isn't an SSD sucks.

Why doesn't this phone have 1 GB of RAM? It's taking too long to watch movies over wifi.

*EDIT*

Why in the shit does my retina macbook pro with 8 GB of RAM crash 10 minutes after unpacking it?

Call me a resolution snob but that 1440x900 is some third world shit.

I say this after working in a 2560x1600 environment. This is like downloading using a cable modem after spanning mp3s over 10 floppy disks.

SSD is the future. You SATA niggas can fall back forever. Y'all some Nokia ass niggas. Y'all use NetZero.

a 27" 2560x1440 IPS, and my second is only a 21.5" 1080 TN panel. The smaller one is useful, but I also can't help but dislike it for obvious reasons.

Call me an bougie all you want for the next sentence. It sucks being forced to bring a wifi extended to a friend's house.

I'm dealing with a few right now:

Why do developers refuse to support 2880? I gotta pay for lazy PC manufacturers.

I've been waiting patiently. I want a 70 inch tv but was like I might as well wait till I can get a 4K one.

Had to tell them their shitty WinXP PC doesn't even meet the minimum requirements to run our software.
