I bought the Blackberry KeyOne AND the KeyTwo LE.
Those were great except for the screens falling out: my worst purchase was a six hundred dollar android tablet for when I was going to be recovering from a big surgery. I returned it. wtf are tablets even for? It was basically a shitty computer that couldn't do anything.
Jide Remix Ultratablet.
Kinda glitchy from the start. Got one minor software update before the company decided to focus first only on their mini-desktops and soon after, B2B; dropping the consumer support entirely.
Which wouldn't have been so bad is the released the proprietary blobs for others to use to keep up support. The hardware was nice, and the concept was one of the first to try an "Android version of a Surface". But to my knowledge, no ROMs have ever been made for it.
I bought a 2nd hand MacBook Air with an Intel chip to put Linux on it. Forgot about the T2 chip being a bitch.
Ringconn Gen2 smart ring. Battery issues. Eventually wouldn't hold a charge for an entire day. This is after being sure to charge it from no lower than 40% and generally no higher than 90% Completely unusable after a year.
I've bought some different smart switches and bulbs that changed hardware but not model number thinking I could flash them to ESPHome.

Big flop
I saw this video show up as well, and it got me thinking what are mine?
I tend to do tonnes of research before buying any tech. But potentially it would be my TP-Link BE6500 WiFi 7 router. Like it works amazingly well, and it solved all of the routing and bandwidth issues with streaming and gaming on WiFi, however I don't think it was worth the price or headache getting it working.
Otherwise, not sure if we're regarding this as tech, but I purchased the Illumi Classic IPL device a few months ago. I made the wrong decision here, I should have spent the extra and picked up the Illumi Pro instead.
Had a Tapwave Zodiac as a teenager. Was so excited waiting for it, quite a disappointment.
