    The worst piece of tech I currently own is a small server that must have hard drive issues cause it forgets everything when it restarts and I have to set it up again.

    The worst piece of tech that I have ever owned in my life is a CD Cleaner I bought from GameStop back in the day. That shit was straight up a sacrificial altar. It never cleaned. Only consumed.

      Was it a cleaner or one of those “Resurfacing” things with the crank that just scratched the hell out of your discs in a circular pattern?

        You needed to use the lubricant that came with it. I used mine hundreds of times with incredible results.

    A smart egg tray. It was in fact quite stupid. Mainly purchased it because of how absurd it was.

    Main issues:

    • it was constantly wrong about how many eggs were in the tray
    • it was wrong about the eggs age.
    • it took 6AA batteries that only lasted a month at best.

        I dunno, does it warp probability around it so that no matter what, the egg is always fresh? How far does the effect extend? Does it affect people or just physical interactions? If people ask these questions are they under the effect and contributing to the egg’s defense and therefore continued freshness?
