adaptive cruise control
My car originally had that, but one day it came back from the service appointment at the dealership and that was no longer available. Software update removed that, probably because too many people were falling asleep thanks to that and the lane assist shit.

My personal rage at the moment is this square time format with the two digit hour over the two digit minute. Obviously designed for a smart watch but Android decided it needs to be on the phones as well. I keep turning it off but every few updates it comes back -- because the designers know better than me what I actually want.
I bought a cheap electric heater from Lowe's a few years ago. It surprised me greatly because it would occasionally rewire itself. It had a rotating switch with Off, Fan, Low Heat and High Heat settings, but once in a while these switch settings would change. Like, Low Heat would actually by the Fan setting, Off would actually be the High Heat setting etc. It turns out the rotating switch just travelled over some printed solder lines and occasionally these would melt and re-form into new positions.
How there was not an epidemic of homes burning down because of these things is a mystery. But there's just no way engineers could have ever guessed something like this would happen.

At least with a food truck there's a chance the food is good!
Fun Eiffel Tower fact: for the 1893 Chicago world's fair, Eiffel pitched building his tower again only twice as tall. The Chicago organizers passed and went with the Ferris Wheel instead, sparing us Eiffel Bueller's Day Off.

IASIP is more like Seinfeld on meth.
"Nuclear waste disposal is not a significant problem." Glad you said that, Mr. CEO.
Plants don't need grounded receptacles, apparently. I'll bet that one doesn't even have the polarity wired up correctly.
My car is a 2001 and has a CD player. Normally, this would preclude playing phone music (without that FM transmitter bullshit, at least), but this CD player was built to accommodate a 6-CD changer in the trunk, and you can buy a little gadget that plugs into the port for this and allows an aux jack to feed audio into the player. This worked great for me until my latest phone which has no audio port. My USB-C to 1/8" jack technically works, but the volume is way too low. So I'm back to burning CDs for my car.
