Error'd: Doubled Daniel

This week, a double dose of Daniel D.

First he shared a lesson he titled "Offer you can't refuse a.k.a.
Falsehood programmers believe about prices" explaining
"Some programmers believe that new prices per month (when paid annually) are always better then the old ones (when paid monthly). Only this time they have forgotten their long-time clients on legacy packages."

Then he found a few more effs. "This e-shop required to create an
account to download an invoice for order already delivered.
Which is kind of WTF on its own. But when I pasted a generated
62 mixed character (alphanumeric+special) password, their
form still insisted on entering 8+ characters. not correct.
Well, because their programmers didn't expect somebody to
paste a password. Once I did another JS event - e.g. clicked
a submit button, it fixed itself."

And our
Best Beastie in Black
discovered
"Anomalies in the causal structure of our particular 4-dimensional
Lorentzian manifold have apparently caused this secure message
portal belonging to a tax prep/audit company to count emails
that haven't yet been sent by sender."

Traveler
Tim R.
struggled to pay for a visa, and reports this result. Rather than an error
reported as success, we appear to have here a success reported as an error.
"We're all familiar with apps that throw up an
eror dialog with the error message as success
but it's particularly irritating when trying to submit
a payment. This is what happened when I tried to pay for an Indian visa with Paypal.

To add insult to injury, when you try to pay again, it
says that due to errors and network problems, you must
check back in 2 hours before attempting a repeat payment."

Finally
Robert H.
is all charged up about Chevy shenanigans.
"I thought one of the advantages of EV vehicles was they don't need oil changes?"
