14-ish: a desktop, two laptops, two tablets, 5 (?) old Android phones, 3 iPhones (hand-me-downs), game console (mostly we watch movies with it), plus older phones destined for element-extraction.
The iPhone I use is from 2015, and the other two are more recent but too large.
All the other computers are older than 2014 (I think; I'm beyond caring about acquiring new computers these days, as everything I have meets my wants, in part because I'm decreasing what I want).
For all I go on about reducing luxuries, having 14+ computers is in some ways like Uncle Scrooge swimming in his money bin. On the other hand, as my perspective shifts I'd feel far richer if I was part of a tight-knit community (fewer than 150 humans, say) that took good care of the land, water, and air and respected the downstream and downwind communities. Easily dismissed as romantic by those of us (myself included) who have come to normalize the fruits of easy access to massive amounts of energy.
