Seven year old desktop (nvidia 720 for the sake of making YouTube bearable and the games it can run more stable.,) my cr48 laptop, and tablet.
I don’t have money to do constant upgrades and I don’t like giving up on a thing if i can keep it going. Contrary to my stepdad’s constant assertions I do not see a thing breaking as ‘oh oh well go get another one.’
I had the original nook, the simple touch, a game gear, game boy, and my original desktop.
The desktop fried when my family upgraded and it died a couple months after going into my older brother’s care. I kept it running for eight years and upgraded it to as good as the motherboard would allow. It ended its life loading a corrupt POST screen and the board itself warped from heat damage due to being shoved in a corner with no ventilation in an in airconditioned room.
My prior tablets screens gave out due to delamination on one and a six inch corner drop on the other.
The game gear flat out stopped working.
My Ds apparently blew a fuse I go pop a new battery in. Nada. No power light. Nothing. Which annoys me because I was big into the homebrew aspect of pushing the hardware past gaming… And it made a great little mp3 player via moonshell.
The gameboy turned into a gift to my stepbrother along with pokemon yellow.
The cr48 for a time was the one computer in the house and a botched bios flash had me put an SOS out on the mailing list google had… Which the owner of the wikia responded by mailing me his. Oh… My… God I am so beyond thankful to that guy because I literally cannot pay him back. That was six years ago.
So my history with gizmos has been… Eeeh. Mixed.
