Something I've found is actually working on oneself physically, practicing good physiological health so that one can biomechanically maintain good hand eye coordination, can avoid dropping or bumping equipment or devices for long periods of time (like many many everyday people are well known to constantly do), maintaining good awareness of your environment, and being able to connect with your equipment, devices, and hardware pragmatically the way a blue collar worker might personally connect with their machinery. This way, you can really stretch the lifespan of your hardware. Also, remember that brokenness is relative and along a gradient, not a binary question - if you can get functionality out of a device or hardware, especially according to your prioritization of need, then fundamentally it works; you just have to 'jimmy it a little bit' maybe, to use a blue-collar-ism.

I have a laptop from the early 2000s I maintain, an Xbox one I use for most functions still from 2018 or earlier, two android smartphones both for different purposes over 3 years old each without ever having used phone covers. And I went for a physical at the clinic and they said my stats on my health were above the 90th percentile of health for my age. I'm a bioregionalist so I'm always trying to be systemically "of" my surroundings, region, and community as a vital living breathing human being, and I use ASMR videos on YouTube to liven up my sensory capacities to connect therein to my surroundings and maintain a solid environmental awareness; helps in not dropping or bumping things hardly ever, or spilling liquids on anything.

Those are my first principles.
