People speaking so quietly when they’re in a convertible with the top down.

It’s computers making all sorts of beeps and blips for every single thing that happens on screen that bothers me to no end

Yeah this is pretty distracting and egregious. Maybe they could get away with that shit in 1999, but they really should err on the side of realism in depicting user interfaces since 99% of people that watch movies use these devices daily.

It’s also wild seeing shitty UI in shows like the new season of Dexter, which clearly has a massive budget. Like… really? Is it intentional, part of the charm? A throwback to the OG Dexter that was super guilty of that, back when the budget and standards in television were lower?

It’s embarrassing. It’s incredibly easy to mock up a perfectly native looking UI.
