Is Technology Becoming Less Reliable?

I'm starting to wonder if technology has become less reliable over the years. Here are a few examples: I bought a Windows 11 Dell Inspiron, which originally came with Windows 10. All the reviews promised solid battery life; I even checked with the seller about the battery diagnostics, which seemed fine. But I usually only get about 2 to 3 hours of battery life, far less than expected. I've tried everything to fix it, but it's still disappointing.

Then there's the Fire TV Stick I bought. It worked perfectly on my grandma's TV, but when I got it home, I couldn't get the remote to pair, despite trying all the factory resets and pairing tricks. It's frustrating! My uncle's Fire Stick works, but he has trouble getting it to turn the TV on unless he uses Alexa, and even that only works half the time.

Beyond that, I'm dealing with issues like Spotify glitching while streaming, Google Photos rejecting specific video formats, and my Mi Band rebooting randomly at night. It feels like there are so many features nowadays, yet reliability seems to be nonexistent. I miss the days when I could just turn on my TV or MP3 player and have them work without hassle. I completely understand that programming is hard — I even built my health tracker app because I was so fed up with others failing! But it worked flawlessly without any strings attached. Is this a common experience, or is it just me?
