    Samsung M540 “Slyde” phone - The software was incredibly buggy including things like just randomly typing the wrong letter. Randomly bad tech is so much more irritating than tech you know is bad.

    Google Nexus 7 (2012) - The tablet had defective chips that slowed down over time. Turned into a horrible slow piece of shit over time.

      Was that the first version Nexus 7? I had the refreshed version and it was my favourite bit of tech ever. I ran it for about 5 years until the screen and battery both died. I loved that thing.

        I still have the refreshed second gen version running, got an android 12 rom flashed and now it is being used with an amcrest camera as a privacy friendly nanny cam monitor!

          They were brilliant. I ran a Nexus 10 for about 5 years, and about the same from a Nexus 9 my BIL asked me to look at. I forget the ROM but he couldn’t believe it kept getting OTA updates for that long.

          Those were the days, enjoy your 7!
