I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.

    Drone. A few years ago it’s one of the craze that hit the world, lot of people playing with one, lot of youtuber using and talking about it, so i told myself, why not? I bought a cheap one, it can fly pretty okay, has limited range, tried it for a few time in front of my house to get the feel of it, and took it to an open field just to play with it. Turns out, flying it around is such an intense experience, too intense for me due to the fear of crashing it or hurting someone, or both. So the thing is now a dust gatherer.

      Perhaps you just need one that’s less “intense”? I’ve got a dji and the thing will just hover in place if I stop paying attention. Most of them these days have obstacle detection too.

      That said, once the novelty wears off it is going to collect dust unless you have a particular use for it.

        I think i have the latter issue, i have no idea what to do with drone nor i have the luxury of time to explore lol. Other than the few time i want a bird eyed view of the surrounding, there’s nothing much i can do with it.
