I have the following at home:
-
My work laptop (2021 MacBook Pro)
-
My personal laptop (2018 MacBook Pro)
-
An old iPad Air
-
My phone
-
Living room PC (Linux, shared)
-
Bedroom PC (Linux, shared)
My laptops live on my desk and I mostly have whichever one I’m using plugged into my external monitor and peripherals (mouse and mechanical keyboard). The portability of my personal and work machines is nice if I want to sit on the couch or travel.
The living room PC is hooked up to the TV. My partner and I mostly use it for gaming and YouTube. It’s a few years old but it can handle most of what we throw at it.
We only use the bedroom PC to watch TV in bed.
The iPad is for knitting patterns. Previously, it spent several years sitting unused in a drawer.
My phone is for doomscrolling and spam calls.
It really depends on where you live. There are some parts of the world where environmental factors like ocean humidity or winter road salting will cause a car’s frame to rust through in a few years if you’re not careful. Look up the Rust Belt for an example.
On the other hand, if you live somewhere warm and dry, your car’s frame and body will outlast its original mechanical components.
