    I personally can’t say that I agree, especially in current economic conditions.

    Many people do buy the shiny new things regularly, but I would argue that most people can’t afford that luxury and try to get the most life out of what they own.

    On a separate note: I can’t speak to Linux phones, digital music gadgets, or AI hardware, but raspberry pis and flipper zeros on the second hand market are absolutely not cheap, and regularly sell for MSRP of new devices.

    I’m sorry to hear that you’ve struggled to find regular use of those 20 random things, but that doesn’t mean your experience is representative of most people.
