I am a shocker for holding onto things long, long passed the point where I probably should have upgraded.

My current laptop I got early last year, but before that I had the same one for over a decade and by the end it was barely holding together; I finally gave in when the keyboard broke.

I have a hand-me-down smartphone that's from like 2018, with a bunch of dead pixels, and while I picked up a new TV for the gaming room when I moved in with my girlfriend in 2023, the TV at my old place is from 2015.

Console wise, while I typically pick up each Nintendo system fairly early, I didn't get a post-7th gen PS/Xbox til 2023, and I didn't retire my Xbox 360 and Wii til earlier this year.
