I’ve worked in a theater for a decade and if this happened during a rehearsal the show would be canceled. That is very very bad.

The stage is falling apart at the rehearsal for Freedom 250's July 4th celebration.

Listen. I spent more than a decade as a theatrical technician, rigging stages, hanging lights, flying scenery, etc. The number of times I have dropped anything on a stage with performers on it is zero. The number of times I’ve dropped something that might’ve killed someone is zero. This is major.

I'm working on a column about the tech annoyances that drive us crazy, and I want it to be as universal as possible, so tell me yours! E.g. scanning a QR code to read a menu, never receiving the one-time passcode they supposedly texted you, "verify you're human" by IDing tiny motorcycles, etc.

Streaming apps interrupting credits. Even on a streaming box, every app has a different way to get back to the credits before the emergency 10-second countdown to autoplay something else. If you do it wrong, you have to start the video from the beginning and FF to the end. And it'll interrupt again.
