Duncan Bell is upgrading
Buying better versions of things you’ve got already is infuriatingly seductive, but for good reason
You know that you have achieved Peak First World Problems when you start complaining about being sent free stuff, so I try not to do that, as it would be unseemly. However, the sad fact is that my job mainly involves getting sent shiny new tech baubles that I don’t really need. And it pays so poorly that I don’t usually buy stuff that I actually need either.
However, things have changed. Although all the death, political strife and civilisational collapse of the past 12 months has been very trying for us all, I think we can all agree that one good thing has come of it: I had enough spare cash to upgrade a load of the tech I use the most in the run-up to Christmas.
