What's the latest gadget or tech that you regret buying? (feddit.org)

I honestly regret buying my gaming laptop. I barely use it since I don't have space in my room, so I need to attach it to the TV, every time I need to use, move my series X and unplug it... And I need a wired controller. Then, there's always a pesky update, drivers, stuff... When I'm playing on my X I don't have to worry about any of that, is more of a hassle to use (the laptop).

Ngl I basically bought it because I wanted to play Spiderman and other not available games on Xbox but even like that the regret is there.

Not my latest, but I have a General International Excalibur scroll saw with about 45 minutes of run time in its life, so that was a great investment.

Not a true regret, but I probably could have waited to get a Meta Quest 2 rig.

I really enjoy VR, there just isn't a ton of good content available for it yet. I own about 10 games but find myself doing the free stuff on Meta (like concerts and mini-games) more than anything else.

Sonos speakers. They work well for streaming except not from YouTube, I don't have Spotify premium, most of my music is local and Sonos and Linux is not a good combination. I'm not a fan of the Windows application either, but at least that works.

I like STeam deck. But, the screen is too small and I have lots of battery problem with it and lots of RMA. So, i need to sell it and switch to new item
