I'm on the same vibe but I'm also a compulsive hoarder, which is why I keep every old tech thing that is still barely functional and try to make them be something useful for what still works. So I have an old phone that serves as a music downloader/player, a notebook I'm turning into a very large e-reader, a couple of busted headphones I use only for sound isolation or testing and the list goes on. I'm still fairly reliant on my phone for browsing, but I'm really not fond of how unified and fragile modern hardware has become.

For the most part "low tech" solutions are not just more efficient in resources, but they're also much better developed with the dedicated user in mind. Which is why stuff like vim, bash, tmux, arch are usually leagues ahead of their corporate competitors, specially now with the AI craze where not even the developers have control of their product.
