It's possible to do technical interviewing well. I've done a lot of terrible ones, but at my current job the technical interviews were highly relevant to my work, and not trivia or puzzle questions. We used a laptop instead of a whiteboard. And even though I didn't get everything 100% "right", there was plenty of discussion, so they could see that I knew what I was doing. So they offered me a job. It wasn't an easy interview, but it worked well in my case. And since the other members of the team are very good at what they do, it looks like it's worked for the rest of the company as well.
