For example, I only buy/use old high-end (for their day) business class laptops and put linux on them. They work for everything I need to write and surf.

I also bought an iPhone that was already a few years old and plan to keep it until it stops getting security updates from Apple. I also moved from Android to Apple not because I like iPhones better (I don't, really), but because the years of security updates (versus maybe one or two, on Android) matters to me.

Stop buying battery-powered things when the wired version is perfectly fine. Might not work for all devices, but your mouse and keyboard will always rest on your desk... why the need to power it with batteries that will eventually fail? Let alone the added cost of batteries, and the bluetooth module that those devices would need to communicate.
