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.

No why ? My first computer was the IBM ps/1 that got out around 1990.

You're new to the Internet aren't you ?

It's not like the jokes war between PC and console is anything new. Now if you want to take thing you read on Internet seriously that's up to you.

I grew up with an IBM PS/2 and PS/1, when Windows was not existing and RAM was stated in Kilo octet. Those machine were my first tech experience in life until today with my too many computers/homelab that use way too much electricity and are driving wifey crazy. So yeah, I'm a [email protected] since birth, that is just fact.

Oh, you're playing the "you're new to the internet" card.

Should have seen that coming.

Oh well, nobody ever credited people who claim to be part of the "PC master race" with an abundance of self-awareness. That's just a fact.
