You can feel the sadness from the first picture with the tarp. Such hobbies of restoration will end, the "built-to-last" has lost it's charm and it's sad. We have grown up with such high expectations for an object; "It must have X, Y, Z" turning the future is a blessing and a curse. I guess it was the way for it to be.

You have a pocket device more powerful than Apollo 13 yet to actually preform restoration upon it is near-impossible. That itself will be a skill replaced by AI and as more future devices become completely unserviceable, all of this will just fade in to the darkness. It's broke, throw away and buy anew.

Young folk today are dumbfounded on how to top-up their oil, change their wheel for their car, I do ask is this as intended?

Pocket device? I have more computing power at the moment on my wrist than we ever sent to the moon, likely also counting discarded IUs. And this isn't even an Apple watch...

And that's what I'd call a pocket device. It fits in your pocket.

Well, I can't say you're wrong. Thanks for the laugh!
