even more when it's only some spam/phishing email message they've received they they feel they must send as a screen capture
- yeah, like we really like reading the cropped message and tiny text in a blurry 4MB photo sent to us on the road when you could have just forwarded the original message.

I hate it when the Snipping Tool is removed/hidden from the workplace office base image.

It's better than nothing.
I recently got an email titled "Error in app !!!" (yes, three exclamation marks).
The body said something like "One of our users has been seeing an error in the app for the last few weeks."
So, please tell me, how bad is the phone taken screen capture?
|
|
|
|
|
The 'captures' that triggered my current hissy-fit aren't actually that bad. They're fairly close to the screen, and I can see what I need to see. I've received captures that contained less than 25% of the screen content and were taken at off-angles rendering the image useless.

You're saying your users aren't only bad at computers, but also at photography?

Perhaps a video clip then?

I received a phone video clip once in a bug report that was actually useful. It showed the sequence of actions in a way that a great steaming pile of trace information couldn't portray.

I'm still looking for a decent way to take a screenshot of a BIOS screen.

I've noticed with several sites I have an account with that they no longer allow special characters in passwords. That seems like a move in the wrong direction. Special characters allow passwords to be more complex so I wonder why some are making this change.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Yes and I can't understand why - ASCII is ASCII is ASCII after all - and I hate it as elephant.

Sorry, I have written poorly: I mean that an ASCII character is equal to any other ASCII character for the purposes of both internationality and cryptography. Why A-Z is ok and $ is not?
I hate the sites that disallow "special" characters because they weaken security for... what, exactly?

That could be it. Still a dumb thing to do, in my opinion.
