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

My switch. It’s been nice and all but my mail account got hacked and some people took all my gaming accounts. All of which I got back except for Minecraft(Microsoft) and Nintendo. And now it’s just a brick. Can’t do shit without the account, you even have to pass like 4 menus trying to get you to log in, when trying to play a game off of a cartridge. I haven’t even gotten an answer from their support except for their stupid automated system.
A picofly is like $15, and sounds like you dont have to worry about getting banned anyways.

VR headset. I mean, I don't fully regret it yet, as I might someday find a VR game that I actually want to play, am able to play in the small space I have, and that doesn't make me nauseous within 15 minutes.
I like elite dangerous, start wars squadrons, and other Sims I can remain seated for. Feels more immersive that way and doesn't require space

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.
Bought a bass guitar, intending to take lessons. First teacher didn't have availability, 2nd didn't work out, the teacher was fine, the front desk people were assholes.
Then I injured my feet and have been stuck in the house unable to do anything. :(
Hope to re-start once I'm healed up.
Sounds like the perfect time to practice your bass! Even just following along with Youtube vids can get you a long ways. Hope you get back on your feet (heh) soon!

Color eink tablet. The technology is impressive, but really not ready yet. I'd stick with b&w eink, or if you really need color, just go with a conventional tablet.
I was curious how it would be for manga. I’m trying to find one that has a large enough reading surface so I don’t have to zoom in on panels.
The current best color eink tech (Kaleido 3) has a handful of limitations, but the big one is how the screen is naturally darker than conventional eink devices you may be familiar with. High contrast and natural light readability are usually the best things about eink, but the darkness of Kaleido 3 screens, caused by the dual layers (one for black pixels, one for color), makes backlighting necessary in a lot more lighting situations, whereas you could probably read a conventional eink device by candlelight, just as you could with a book.
All these devices have backlights because they need them, but by turning it on you lose most of the benefits of having eink in the first place. At that point it's like using a standard tablet, except the color depth is only 4096, so imagine the worst tablet screen you've ever seen... and this just looks far worse.
Not really what you were asking for but you can probably just get a really long HDMI cord or something. I'm guessing they sell HDMI switch's that would make it painless even if your tv only has one port.
Bad idea to buy a gaming laptop when you already had a Series X. I upgraded from my Xbox One to a laptop instead since it was only about $300 more for a quality laptop. I know the "but a desktop is better!!!" line, but I do not have the space for a desktop + monitor.
Also, why do you think you need a wired controller? I currently use a wired-only 3rd party Xbox controller because I hate batteries but in the past I could use my normal Xbox controller wirelessly just fine.
Blame Sony for making Spiderman it's exclusive plus not making ps5 available in 2020.
I'm pretty sure you need a pairing thingy isn't? Otherwise you could use a Xbox controller on a PS5 and I don't feel like buying it for a laptop that I barely use.
You'll need to check the specs of your laptop to be sure, but most laptops nowadays have a bluetooth receiver built in. All you need to do is pair your xbox controller to it (and it's natively supported in Windows) and you're good to go.
Of course it has Bluetooth, but I thought Xbox controllers were crypted or some shit like that
That was only with the Xbox 360 controller. Newer ones don't need it
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
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.
Same. I bought it when WiFi 6 first came out and had it customized with the faster WiFi, and I loaded up on memory and Windows Pro so I could run VMs. But hyper-v couldn’t handle the networking so VMs never got the fast network, and was generally enough hassle that VMs never went anywhere. Then even new the battery only lasted an hour. So if I use it to game, I need to start with hours of updates, it’s not even portable: wired power, wired controller, wired headset. wtf?
Who even has time for gaming? I game like once a month, plus use the laptop for TurboTax once a year. Why do I even have it? Why am I still suffering with Windows?
Instead of that frustrating detour with Hyper-V, I should have spent the time building out my Raspberry Pi cluster and set up a server
I also regret buying a suped-up laptop, big waste of money! But the latest regret is probably the Manscaped Lawn Mower 5.0 electric clippers. For your balls. Idk maybe I'll have to read/work with it more, but it doesn't seem to cut the hair so much as it tugs & pulls the hair. Which is every bit as delightful as it sounds.
Honorary mention, the Fugoo Tough XL Speaker....amazing, booming sound quality in a small package. Expensive. Then that battery life eventually drops like a stone & it's not good for much.
Eyyy, I got burned by the Manscaped shit too. Grab yourself a Philips Norelco, mine was about $70 and it works great.
Do men really shave their balls that often? I did that shit like 3 times in my life so far, I don't think I'm that hairy down there.
And I'm far from being a teenager.
I fully shave my sack with a razor probably once a week. I’ll trim the tuft on top maybe once every 6 weeks.
Amongst several other reasons, I get hot very easily, every little bit helps. Evaporative cooling (ie, sweating) doesn't seem to work well if there's a jungle containing the humidity. Full body, it grows back fast. And long enough to tangle and snag. Painfully.

I got a handheld steam cleaner about a year ago, used it a handful of times, and now it takes up space in the cabinet. It did work fantastically on a spot I’d never been able to scrub out, but I wish I’d rented one instead. Fortunately it also got recalled recently (because it can burn people, which sounds like a skill issue but whatever), so I can still get a refund.

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.
they have gone to prison
Aww. Don't you just love a happy ending?
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!
