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.

    A plex lifetime pass. Was okay until the company went crazy. Now I use Jellyfin and I’m happy.

      I remember when I started using Plex it was great. And then each update made it harder and harder to use, until I was struggling to find my own media. I still don’t understand what was wrong with them. Jellyfin just works. It’s infinitely better.

      Plex lifetime pass (if you already have it) is still worth it for secure remote access, 2FA login, ease of sharing, and (most important) PlexAmp.
