The year 2021 impressed the world with intriguing inventions and made the rich of technology much richer.
But not everything was successful.
We have compiled for you the strangest and probably also the most unnecessary gadgets of 2021. If you purchased them, we apologize in advance and in any case we invite you to tell us what you think in the comments.
Tesla's whistle
Who is it suitable for?
For electric car-loving judges.
A few weeks ago, Tesla launched a whistle - yes, a whistle - called Cyberwhistle.
It was made of stainless metal, designed in the spirit of the Cybertruck, the company's smart electric truck that is set to hit the roads towards the end of 2022, and cost $ 50.
Why did Tesla launch this whistle?
Because Elon Musk thought it was cool.
And why do we write about it in the past tense?
Because Musk was probably right, since the stock of whistles ran out very quickly and can now only be obtained at exorbitant prices on eBay.
To be sure, someone here whistles all the way to the bank.
Extremely useful product.

Apple's polishing cloth
Who is it suitable for?
For suckers.
Apple offers a polishing cloth for iPhone, iPad, and basically any screen.
This luxury cloth probably does its job well - cleans, polishes, and you know what?
Even disinfecting dirty screens like a bad animal - and also like any other proper cleaning cloth, which costs a fraction of the price.
Still, there are probably some who bought this cloth for $ 19 (the main thing is that there is free shipping), just so he can say he has an Apple cloth.
magnificent.
Polish at a high price.

Patent for drinking from two cans at once
Who is it suitable for?
For especially thirsty and lazy people.
Know what?
It might be worth spending less than five dollars on Truly Topper, a lovable patent that connects to two cans in parallel and allows sip drinkers to turn two different flavors into one new flavor.
Truly, a company that specializes in carbonated alcoholic beverages, thought of this idea on its own, and was given a pinch of credit for the initiative.
On the other hand, isn't it simpler to pour the contents of two cans into one glass, without them thinking we're weird?
For the daring only.

Radio clock disinfects smartphones
Who is it suitable for?
For those who still wake up with a radio clock and use their smartphone only for calls.
In the early days of the Corona, when the situation was much less clear, quite a few companies rushed to develop products that claimed to destroy viruses, bacteria and everything in between.
IHome's POWER UVC PRO was one of them: an alarm clock that is also an airtight box that fills with ultraviolet radiation and kills viruses.
The general idea was that before we went to bed we would store our smartphones, wallets, masks and some would also say our common sense in this box, set the clock to the desired time, go to bed and wake up to a new day when our belongings were well sinned and ready for action.
In the end, iHome also seems to have dropped out of this delusional idea because the product no longer exists on its site.
Not bad.
We went back to sleep.
Early?

RAZER gamers mask
Who is it suitable for?
For gamers who want a forced post-apocalyptic look.
The truth is that we have already written here about Razer's smart gamer mask, which has been named Zephyer and is equipped with a variety of colored lights, microphone and other exaggerated features.
The reviews were lukewarm already at launch (the mask is uncomfortable, narrows the field of vision, etc.), and between us, today it is already possible to agree that gamers can settle for regular masks and not look like insecticides from the future.

The robotic pet
Who is it for?
For allergy sufferers to cats who are no longer in the Tamagotchi segment, and possibly to innocent network victims as well.
The Moflin, a cute robotic pet with artificial intelligence and controversial potential to replace real pets, was supposed to wrap synthetic fur and yarn as early as this year.
Her Kickstarter venture was hugely successful, and the little fluffy robots were expected to be shipped to customers last month.
But something apparently went wrong, and it did not happen.
While company officials have recently apologized for the delay, blamed the global shortage of electrical components and promised they were still on it, but there is talk that it is actually a scam and many customers have already demanded their money back.
Days will tell what will happen to this product, which actually sounds intriguing.
It's just a shame he (still?) Doesn't exist.
Furry and cute and should not be cleaned after.
