Something I appreciate about #bifl or #buyforlife mentality, is that "shopping" has a certain background anxiety in it which became obvious only after becoming a much calmer person.

There is anxiety motivating one to buy products, anxiety motivating one to not buy in case of regret, anxiety about finding the perfect product, sustainability anxiety etc.

Being less dependent on stuff and buying stuff that lasts means the less I have to go through the grind of shopping again.

I would like your Buy-It-For-Life personal recommendations for tech.
Household appliances, gadgets, mp3 player, phone, even just regular clockwork watches, or your EDC.
What have you got, that's lasted far longer than expected, to the point you might call it 'Heirloom Technology'.

Trying to encompass the full extend of what BIFL means to me ("Buy It For Life"):

- Lasts a long time.
- Doesn't go obsolete easily.
- Simple timeless design and aesthetic that wont feel "dated" easily.
- Reliable time-tested construction which doesn't have unforeseen bugs, issues and failures.
- A new version with a few tweaks doesn't come out every year or so to entice me.
- Can be repaired.
- Can buy the same one again in 10+ years time if lost or destroyed.

And that's the second one today. Being a responsible home owner is being made difficult...
Either I'm very strong, or these things are flimsy. Not very #bifl (buy it for life).
