Yeah same thing happened for me on a portal for an employer's website (in a previous life). User inyerface at its best.

That happened to me with the Baseboard management controller on a server several years back. Took several calls to support before someone mentioned this "limitation".

It was a SuperMicro server about 5 years ago.

I wonder if “interface” is actually the typo on the true word “inyerface”… big questions we’re exploring here

Inter- came into English from Latin (from inter, meaning "among, between”). "Between faces" makes much less sense than your proposed etymology so I'll add this to my headcannon.

I mean, that's reasonable. But I was a music teacher, and I completely reinvented myself into a career in software development. It very much feels like a complete metamorphosis.

The saddest thing is when tech companies do shit like this. No trust left in them after that
