This is the weird, sentimental attitude that has me buried in clutter

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Praise sentimentality ... I've done my best to maintain and keep running almost every laptop, tablet, phone and PC I've ever owned. A few just died because of dead main boards, short circuits or mechanical failure. The ones that work are all gathering dust in the closet, basement or storage space but they all work. I use one as a reader, one is parked next to the couch so I have access to a laptop while watching TV, one's in the basement workshop, one gets moved to the garage in the springtime and the rest just sit on the ready for whenever I think of using them.

Buried in clutter yes but it also got me into electronic repair and frugality so I can't say it doesn't have its merits, wish it were easier to keep clean though.

Yes. Kill sentimentality, it's the only way to break free.
