“Everything I touch gets ruined!” – Charlie Brown
All of the gadgets below have been de-registered and retired. Not shown are my first three Rokus, or the first two Amazon Fire TV streamers that came after them. And people laughed at my reluctance to get a smartphone, which I finally did a year ago.

For one reason or another, these devices are no longer useable. The Kindle Keyboard’s battery died, and I bravely replaced it, only to learn the battery wasn’t the problem. A Fire TV update came with an audio sync problem. For video streaming I am now back with Roku.
The Lenovo Yoga Tab 3, that I really enjoyed using, got me through my many trips to Arizona, starting five years ago. It was perfect for watching video on the plane, and on land with a Bluetooth keyboard it was my laptop substitute.
So much electronic waste! I wonder if Best Buy still offers recycling? On the positive side, the Oontz Angle Bluetooth speaker I bought in 2014, that I also took to Arizona, is still going strong.
It worked? Kudos! My replacement battery was a no-go.
Just replaced a battery in a Kindle Keyboard, and so far so good. Hope that extends the life a bit…
