I am with you on keeping it as long as you can. Have had two trucks that after I finished paying on I was fine with running as long as they would drive. Bluetooth adapter to get my phone on. Don’t need touch screen or heated seats or backup cameras.

With both my wife semi-forced my hand as she kept upgrading horse trailer, the primary reason for me owning trucks, until now I have a huge beast with a gooseneck trailer that I personally only put about 200 miles a year on. I think when it’s time for her car to be replaced I’ll take over the family car assignment and let her be the big truck person.

I’m still running my Duo 2 as my work phone, it’s fantastic for remote desktop sessions when I just need to restart a service or do quick tasks. The hinge doesn’t crease but you do get a gap in video that’s minorly annoying, but not a deal breaker. It’s great for teams calls with scrolling on 2nd screen for info or referencing material. It’s great for kindle, the book-like structure gives a pleasant feel while reading in two page format.

Unfortunately it isn’t comfortable for phone calls. And having a hard close means opening for texts and teams and quick items does become bothersome and tedious towards the end of the day. And knowing it was killed puts a clock on it and always keeps me looking for a replacement. It will eventually go to the same pile where I put my zune and Microsoft bands.

When it finally dies I’ll probably stay in the foldable format, Pixel or Galaxy. But I’m going to run it as long as I can.

Ignosticism or igtheism is the idea that the question of the existence of God is meaningless because the word “God” has no coherent and unambiguous definition.

Also see theological noncognitivism.
