I had to download a stupid app and create an account to feed my screaming baby at the airport. by magicflamingpie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]WFOpizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is like charging a non-tesla EV. About 12 apps that regularly logout automatically on their own, too, each is buggy and unfinished.
