Re: WTF happened to Google?
Google's new CAPTCHA is so fucking shitty I've already blacklisted a shitton of sites that use it. It's making even basic internet stuff practically unusable.
What a piece of shit. I hate Google probably twice as much as I even did before this.

We should make spammers fill it in.

Seriously, TWELVE rounds last night just to try to send an email, and I'm pretty sure it didn't even go through.
The main purpose isn't even preventing spam. It's getting people to work for Google for free. And they make people who don't like Google work more. I legitimately hate them.
PLUS I just found out that Google again did a big system update over data on Matlock's phone, jacking up our charges again this month. I've set it to only do system updates over wifi, but they just ignore that.
Fucking dirtbag leeches.

Re: WTF happened to Google?
Google is making you do a CAPTCHA to send an email? Where is this happening?
I mean I understand it if they are not sure you aren't a robot. Sometimes I wonder if you aren't a sentient Chumby.

Re: WTF happened to Google?
Ah yes, the CAPTCHAs that have you screaming at your screen, “I did select all the fucking road signs.” Finally I just guess and select a random additional image and it accepts it, and then I’m screaming “There was no fucking road sign there!” Or it asks me to click all the cars and there are images of trucks and SUVs so I select all the cars and it’s like “Are you sure?” And it turns out giant trucks are ‘cars’ too.
I’ve sometimes wondered where they get the correct answers for the image tests because it’s not always the answers I would give.

To send an email via a form on a website.

Re: WTF happened to Google?
I have a secret. Sometimes, I can not tell what the characters are and I AM NOT A ROBOT! Only, what if I AM A ROBOT, programmed to think I'm not a robot, and that's why I can't tell what the characters are?
Oh cool, I must be a robot!

Re: WTF happened to Google?
Not Google, but I just ran the gauntlet with a phone system that tried really hard to be smooth but I got stuck on a thing with an impossible answer, it transferred me to a human who couldn't help me at all because the identifying info I needed to prove I was me to the human wasn't available even on the company's app on the phone. But the phone computer IDed me no problem. Frustrating for me and the poor operator.

To understand New York, to a New Yorker there is nothing of importance outside New York. Even a worldly, liberal, and traveled New Yorker I know once got upset that people from outside New York, used restaurant tipping conventions other than New York tipping conventions even while in their respective areas.
