Yeah, I had and have coworkers like that. One guy would have a router, then a new one would come out with claims of being faster so he'd buy that even though he was on ahitty low DSL at the time. I'm like dude your internet provider can't send it to you any quicker, so the next level 100 mbps to 1000mbps to 2.5gig Ethernet router isn't helping when you only have one computer and terrible download speed.
My other coworker buys every gadget, including shakeweights lol
