The most common type of submission Error'd receives are simple, stupid, data problems on Amazon. The text doesn't match the image, the pricing is goofy, or some other mixup that are just bound to happen with a database of zillions of products uploaded by a plethora of barely-literate mountain village drop-shippers.
So I don't usually feature them, preferring to find something with at least a chance of being a creative new bug.
...to know which way the wind blows. This week, it's been an ill one. Two of our readers sent us references to the BBC's reports on unusual weather in Bristol - one from the web, and one mobile. Maybe that will help you deduce the source of this error.
Frist, Graham F. shared a screenshot of the beeb's mobile app, bellowing "I know Milton is hitting the US hard right now but that's nothing compared to the 14,000 mph winds here!"
I am amused to see that Warcraft III is still out there being played. I think it was my son's first PC game and maybe the second to last one I ever played regularly.
And it's Maia E. who's doing it. She reports "Warcraft III was patched into oblivion over the years, and it looks like the patches introduced some bugs into campaign quests. At least they didn't rename Thrall into (undefined)!"
"Clouds obscure the result," reports Mike T.'s eight-ball. "It's a shame when the cloud and the browser disagree," he observed.
You may call it equity, or equinox or whatever woke
term you like but you can't sugarcoat what those of us in the North know:
the Southern Hemisphere is stealing the very essence of our dwindling
days. Sucking out the insolation like a milkshake and slurping it all
across the equator.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light!
Meanwhile. Steven B. reminded us of an Error'd I'm pretty sure we've seen before, but it's too dark in here to find now. "I think Microsoft need a bit more tuning on their Office365 anti-spam filters," he suggests.
Two this week from our old friend Michael R., or maybe it's one.
This week, Michael tells us "I am sure I am running some applications but it seems I am not and those not running have allocated all the memory."
This week, we discover an answer to the question that has eternally plagued us: "is time travel possible?" I won't swear it's the right answer, but it's definitely an answer.
But first, Faroguy Chris P. both shared the same issue with us (if they are in fact different people and not just each other's sock puppet) Snarked one of them: "A previous Teams "What's New" pop-up was empty. At least this one has content, even if part of it is a broken image and visible header name."
On a vacation trip this week. The diligent will be able to discover the location with a tiny bit of sleuthing, but I won't be there now.
An anonymous traveler reports "I've been trying to contact them but I don't think they check their email very often."
