While it's certainly possible to overcomplicate things, I find that brewing a good cup of coffee in the morning is a pleasant ritual. Some amount of complexity is actually fun, although it's a different amount for different people

I've had a pair of Hobie polarized sunglasses for around 30 years now. I bought them back in the '90's based on a recommendation from Practical Sailor magazine and they're still in great shape.

In the opposite direction: I had a keyboard once that I set aside for a couple of years and when I tried to use it again some of the keys didn't register reliably. It took a couple of days of use before everything worked smoothly.

When I asked for a refund I was told that they had changed their mind and they were no longer honoring their original policies. I have the phone now and it's pretty much a paperweight. Someday I might want to play around with it but at
