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.

I regret ever buying an Arlo home security camera system. Neat idea, poor execution. And fuck subscriptions. I took it all down. I don't miss having creepy-looking cameras in my yard / house. Only put it up because of some very sketchy neighbors we had. And they have gone to prison, so, don't need them any longer.

Glad you mentioned the gaming laptop. I've been thinking about getting one but keep talking myself out of it.

Unrelated but my wife’s parents are also in this situation. Bought cameras because a sketchy neighbour. Fortunately though they’re now going to prison! Hooray!

Maybe Boozilla is your wife’s parents

I briefly had that thought and then remembered that a couple of weeks ago, my father in law had to explain to his wife what a “casting couch” was.
