It really is interesting to see who jumps on new technology and who holds back. I have family who've incorporated smart devices into every facet of their lives, and I have other family who wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole (I'm in the latter group for privacy and security reasons; no one updates a smart lightbulb even though they really should). It's strange that we're in an era where fridges send spam emails.
Most of the tech-savvy people I know seem to fall into that latter group. Also, there's those of us who just hate spending money on new things if we ca n get the job done on something cheaper/older. Or maybe that's just me..
Not just you, I'm with you on that. Older devices tend to hold up better from what I've noticed, too. And they've been around long enough that repair methods are pretty well-documented by folks.
