Feels like a combination of wanting to roll out new 'better' stuff which isn't tested enough, or just not good enough, plus essentially people not really caring

Feels like a combination of wanting to roll out new 'better' stuff which isn't tested enough, or just not good enough, plus essentially people not really caring and/or thinking that new tech must by definition be better.
It's like with orientation detection. You'd think that after a decade this would have been a done thing. On the contrary: it amazes me to no end how many times a day people want to show me something on their phone and then go like 'oh wait..shake phone..nope..shake again..finally got it'. When I ask them why they don't just turn it off or replace it with a hardware or software button they say something about it sometimes working and/or not wanting to lookup where to change the setting. Same with voice control in the past years. This is getting better it seems, slowly, but I can't keep track of the number of times people were getting angry because their words wouldn't come through and the navigation wasn't driving them where they want or their text message were full of bs. Still they persist, seemingly because 'I paid for this new thing so I better try'. Which is utterly nonsensical for an engineering mind.
