Doesn’t have to be thousands of dollars. Just a thing you spent money on that turned out to be a complete waste.

    I bought a new, $100 android tablet a few years ago because I’d never had a tablet before and thought I’d try it. Assumed that since laptops around that price perform ok that it would be decent for basic stuff, but it really isn’t. Just not enough ram (4gb), lags when doing literally anything, can’t load most websites, can’t even play most videos without it turning into a slideshow. Can’t install a less shit more efficient OS. I would feel bad about reselling it because no one should be subjected to having to use this ewaste.

        I guess I could look into that more, but cursory research gave me the impression that there aren’t good options for tablets here. But I guess since it’s useless anyway it would be worth it if I could just set it up as a server somehow, maybe I will keep looking.
