Nah, the 12 dead laptops undef my bed I use for hardware salvage and experiments are device hoarding. The multiple disassembled game consoles in my closet is device hoarding. None of it is sorted, the retro stuff isn’t sorted, the new stuff isn’t sorted.
I’m device hoarding. The average consumer is absolutely not.
My pallet of used office PCs I got for $200 but have barely handed off any is device hoarding, keeping your phone for 2-4 years before upgrading is just being financially prudent
The MSP I briefly worked at kept a bunch of notable obsolete computers in the main entry way as a kind of “museum” but they didn’t really have the vision to make it look like actual displays, so it kinda almost looks like it’s warm storage for hardware that could be pressed into service any day now

Godspeed, you future museum contributor!
The hope is to eventually open a repair cafe/lounge with the

My sibling in Aiyuna, that is a museum with extra steps <3
If you make it there and happen to recall this interaction, I would be glad to hear of it!
In a heartbeat, friend!
