What's the latest gadget or tech that you regret buying?

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.

Of course it has Bluetooth, but I thought Xbox controllers were crypted or some shit like that

Not at all. You can buy a receiver to use Xbox's proprietary wireless standard, which is marginally faster than bluetooth, but I use an Xbox Series X controller with my pc over bluetooth and it works just fine.

So pretty much all of your complaints are cus you assumed things that aren't true and made no effort to fix your actual issues?

Sounds less like the tech is the problem and like you have a Layer 8 issue.

What? Having a wireless controller doesn't solve any of my problems

That was only with the Xbox 360 controller. Newer ones don't need it
