A new website has taken Apple’s most persistent software bugs and turned them into a humorous scoreboard, using exaggerated math to estimate the amount of time wasted by these bugs over the years.
Do you feel seen?
Bugs Apple Loves is a satirical website that showcases how much time humanity wastes due to bugs that Apple seemingly refuses to fix.
“A satirical website documenting how much time humanity wastes because of bugs that Apple seemingly loves so much that they keep them around forever.”
The site currently lists 16 bugs, with the oldest one (Finder Forgets Window Sizes) dating back to 2001.
Here’s the complete list of bugs, each with its own witty subtitle:
