Don’t Buy It: Bizarre Gadgets to Avoid
Life can be difficult. You come home from a
long day at work, go to cook some spaghetti, and then realize what a
deeply onerous task it is, so you live out the rest of your days in a
pasta-less existence. But this dystopia need never come to pass if you had only
looked at your television.
If you've ever had to carry a garden
hose in your back pocket, cast a laser light show on your neighbour’s
house, peel eggs at lightning speed, then you just have to turn on
your TV and call the toll-free number.
But who, in this world, needs these
gadgets, like The Clapper? And yet, late at night the lure to purchase these gadgets
can be strong. We at The Computer Guyz, urge you to resist, or at the very
least, avoid particularly useless ones!
Wearable technology just got weirder. Fone
Ring makes being married to your phone all too literal. The ring adheres
to the back of your phone so you "never worry about dropping your tech
devices again." Your friends never wanting to be seen with you ever again
is another matter.
Say you want to low-key record someone
without their knowledge. Would you a) just use your phone or b) place a USB
drive conspicuously between the two of you? If you're more of a b then you're
going to want this USB drive that's also secretly a voice recorder.
That tennis ball your dad had hanging from
a string in the garage has gotten an upgrade (sort of). Park Right takes
the same guiding principle that dad used to prevent him from crashing the car
into the garage wall when parking, and turns it into a light that beams onto a
windshield and alerts drivers to hit the brakes. Revolutionary!
One-click computer repair sounds too good
to be true because it is. Win Cleaner is touted as providing faster
start-up times and Internet connections, as well as ensuring your privacy—and
it basically does none of that.
Cord cutting is a great way to save a decent
amount of cash per month. Buying the Instant Internet TV Radio USB is
a good way to lose money. What you get is a USB that essentially links to
streaming sites you could find through a quick online search.
This classic is famously unreliable, as
clap detection is not a real thing. Any loud noise can trigger your lights (or
whatever else you have plugged in) to suddenly cut out.
