Well, I hate to break it to them, I can't sustain it either.
So I don't plan on buying anything for the foreseeable future. Even if something experiences a failure, I'll just go without, or pull out an older device out of retirement. I don't really need the latest and greatest anyway. If it comes down to it and I do need to replace a piece of hardware, it'll come from the used market, or god forbid I get my soldering iron out and fix it.
See, I was right to hoard all my old components!!
The only thing I've been buying are DIY learning kits from china.

Already got over a dozen functional electronic devices thanks to planned obsolesce.
