I bought a new netbook last year to watch stuff on as my old one from like 10 years ago finally fell apart.
I fucking hate the new Windows so much and I'm not techy enough to change the operating system to something better, so I barely use it as watching stuff on my phone is easier.
You're probably selling yourself short on the tech front and over-estimating the difficulty of installing something new. If you wanted to install something like Linux Mint or Fedora, the most complicated step would likely involve making a bootable thumbdrive to load it from. You could check that all your hardware works as intended (ie, can you connect to wifi, does sound play properly, can you watch a video on youtube, etc) without actually modifying your base OS, and if it does, the installations mostly hold your hand and you can get a perfectly sane setup just sticking to the defaults for most things and clicking next. There are plenty of options out there where you don't need to be a command-line wizard to have a perfectly usable system.
So many untouched videogames.
My ab roller.
The 1kg bag of brown rice I bought to be healthier.
Amazon Prime.
A fake olive tree that sits in my living room.
I bought an immersion blender on like prime day or black Friday with grandiose plans of using it for all kinds of things. 3 years later, and it's still in the box
Split pea soup
Refried beans, or short burst to thicken bean pot
Protein shakes
I inherited a blender. I thought Iโd absolutely use it. Nope. Food processor on the other hand is amazing and I want a better one someday
It was years ago, but it was an unbranded, generic portable CD player. It was awful. It kept skipping forward and backward on the track whenever it wasn't still, so basically "portable" was false advertising because it was only usable when sat still on a table. Since then, whatever I buy, I make sure it's from a recognised brand that has some reputation to lose.
