Tech in general has become very unreliable and user-hostile.
Just the other day I gave up trying to cast a zoom meeting from my phone to my Roku express box. I experienced very laggy video, no audio no matter what I tried o both zoom and Roku, and myriad errors when I tried to update the software on Roku. In the end I just gave up.
From apps that demand an internet connection to do functions that should have nothing to do with connectivity, health apps that no longer sync with the ihealth app, my health monitoring device that has stopped syncing with my phone for no reason, my MiFi that randomly asks me login before continuing to access the internet…
I get the sense these are the way things are set up to be. When consumer tech works, it’s great, but the reliability is pretty bad because it would eat into profits to spend on improving reliability.
