The thermostat light on the cooker failed yesterday - the food was fine, but you can't tell when the oven is ready - so I dismantled the cooker today to check the part I needed.
Then I found that on the manufacturers' site (they have quite a few, and there are three on just this one cooker, so I needed the right one) and ordered it.
Or at least, I tried to - the "add to basket" button did nothing at all.
Eventually, I switch from Chrome to Edge to order, and it works fine.
So I try to let them know - and apart from a toll-rate phone number, there is no way to contact them ...
Given that Edge is switching to the Chromium engine pretty soon, I have though at least some testing with the world's most popular browser would have been an idea, but obviously not ... their loss when nobody can order stuff, I guess. Lazy, lazy, lazy ...

You actually wait for the oven to heat up? You have way too much free time.
Oven on, food in, add 5 mins to cooking time, job done.

Depends on the temp you need to reach: 230C on mine takes a while longer than 180C - and on what you are trying to cook. Sometimes you want a slow build up of heat so that it's as uniform as possible throughout the food, but sometimes you want an initial high temp sear on the outside and then reduce the temperature for the main cook (this is particularly useful for some pastry dishes).

Blame the cookery company that hired out a coder. Normals don't respect this discipline or it's trends and standards enough to care. They delight in not needing to pay the coder asap. Used to be, mechanical enginners made mechanical timers and the stuffed shirts actually understood and respected them as what they made could be held in the hand and marveled at. Now everything is made of that software stuff by people the normals have learned to be envious of and hold them in contempt.

Would these guys not be the perfect subjects to teach the rest a little more respect? With just a little wizardry all of them could be headed south of the Rio Grande under a new name like Alonzo Gonzales within a few days. Now I know why they want that wall at the border at all cost!

Speaking of lazy developers, there are so many sites that are simply unusable if you happen to have browser debugging enabled.

Why do you want to debug your browser?

Browser debugging *turned on*? What is this, 2004? STOP USING IE, FFS!

Even though they're "functional", pretty useless still!

Maybe the are really lazy and only checking the browser for activating the scripts

I wish. Herself has three recipes, two of which she stole from me and reduced to make them easier for her to cook. The best food she cooks is stuff I vacuum sealed and stuck in the freezer ...

My guess is that she's not really good at reading your stuff on the web either.

In their defense, the web, at least until everybody switched to Chromium, is a nightmare of a platform. There's standards all right, but they're stupidly hard to read at times and there's no reference implementation against which to check.

Yes, it's complicated - but especially for a shop site, selling direct to the public, you should check against the big four: Chrome, Safari, FireFox, and IE, possibly with Edge tacked on the end.
If you ignore the first two and they don't work, that's a huge chunk of your potential buyers who go somewhere else because they can't find a way to buy from you! Remember: nearly all Android devices use Chrome by default. All iPhone / iPads use Safari by default. And that's the bulk of the computing equipment the public shops online with ...
Not testing others because "It works with Edge" is just stupid and lazy.

My "in their defense" doesn't mean "leave them alone, it's their moral right to do what they do". It's more of an "it's a sort of understandable mistake" opposed to "guys screwed up big time and it's unforgivable".
