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.

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
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
