    Steam summer sale, and yet I fall for it every year. Doom collection still sitting in my library collecting dust.

    Destiny 1 and 2. I should have learned my lesson with the first game, but the hype train picked me up anyway.

    $1000 x86-64 Linux tablet. Turns out, I didn’t really need it, and it’s too techy to sell to anyone in my neighbourhood, so it’s just collecting dust.

    Hmmm. I wouldn’t exactly call it a waste of money (yet) but my current smartwatch. It’s not bad or anything it’s just… not that useful. The fact that I have to charge it often, doesn’t make it better

      I feel exactly the same. I bought mine mostly for hiking and the battery isn’t even lasting a whole hike. No tracking or anything.

        I love my smartwatch, it usually holds charge for an entire day even with the screen on all the time. I think they stopped making them though, it is a Fossil smartwatch. I also like that it just looks like a normal watch at first glance.

        By contrast, I have bought a tablet twice thinking I would love to have one, and then NEVER know what the hell to do with it. My phone is easier to carry around. :/

            Oh yea, the updates really suck honestly. I swear every time it updates I feel like it loses functionality that I loved.

    My wife has been sick with a persistent respiratory infection for six weeks. I have a shoulder injury. We haven’t been staying on top of the cleaning. We finally admitted that the house smells like one of those caves you age cheese in, and booked a cleaner to put it back in good shape so we can just maintain it going forwards.

    Last night, at my wife’s insistence, we tidied the house from top to bottom and wiped down the flat surfaces so the cleaner wouldn’t arrive to a messy house. 😟

    In her defence, she kinda saw the irony of it.

      I hear you, but if you want the cleaner to deep clean, you gotta surface clean. Or just pay for twice the time.

    Music from Microsoft when they had the store and original DRM. They later shut it down and on newer Windows had no way to restore your DRM keys, so the music was useless/locked. Their support basically said “oh well”. Eventually I got around the DRM by an ancient version of Roxio CD burner, somehow because it came out before MS DRM it just read the track and burned it to CD, there was no DRM checking I guess
