Google Chrome is totally malfunctioning. Has large irregular shapes on my pages that won't go away. Need to ditch Chrome.
Verizon is totally malfunctioning. Texts take 25 minutes and arrive in bunches so sign-in codes are expired by then. Must have spent $1.75 and 45 minutes to solve a 30 second problem.
USPS crooks say my packages weighed 1.5 pounds more than the 5 ounces and stole my money for it. Now to complain to USPS Inspectors, which will be another 2.5 hours this evening. Should I accuse them of wire fraud? This is likely someone's fraud game to pad their little post office's revenue.
You see how things are not working very well? Is it vacation time? Or is deterioration the name of the game?

(21,308 posts)Although, seems to be taking awhile Some days go like that. I made coffee this morning, and for some reason, the brewed coffee didn't drain into the pot. luckily, I just made 2 cups, so it wasn't all over the counter. I used several bowls and measuring cups to get 1.5 mugs of coffee with no grounds, but unlike you, that problem is over.
I don't know what's wrong with the internet connections. My laptop is super slow part of the day, then fairly ok. And my Internet signal keeps getting interrupted.
Maybe I should go with deterioration.

(51,533 posts)USPS refunded their confiscatory charge today. Their appeal process worked! Of course I think I did threaten to rouse the Postal Inspectors and wondered who was behind this system, maybe local post offices?
Internet I can understand. I think they do slow maintenance over the summer. I must move to wireless soon but it's a lot of tech for me to handle. Windows 11 updates take forever ... literally 1% download each overnight. I'm 2 weeks into this and stuck at 43%.
Keep the coffee in the pot!

(11,214 posts)Verizon's not what it used to be (try T-Mobile); and the USPS is desperately underfunded and, as far as I know, still headed by the privatization-oriented Dejoy.
