What are the worst tech purchases you or your family have ever made?

I watched a video recently and wanted to know what other have bought over the years.

My old Wemo smart plugs. Constantly lost connection and the app was so useless for resolving issues.

When they announced they were stopping support this year, I was wondering what they considered support beforehand. Also, there's a class action lawsuit because of that.

    You might be interested in pywemo. Bring new life to those things instead of just tossing them in a landfill. They also work with Home Assistant.

    I had some connection issues when switching out my AP (had to factory reset), but otherwise they've been mostly solid.
