Smart phones, then closed driver GPUs and compute units, then probably printers.

My docking station. The screen sometimes goes black for a second or two randomly. I have had this problem with all kinds of docking stations.
-
My egpu dock. It works great but I have to plug it in after boot or it won't be detected.
-
My samsung galaxy S22 (my last sasmung phone). The camera sometimes doesn't work presumably because a ribbon cable inside is loose.

Electric toothbrushes. They really are superior to regular old brushes, but they tend to break down after less than a year and aren't exactly cheap. Ironically, the last time mine broke I replaced it with the cheapest one and it's lasted longer than the ones before it. Go figure!
What do you do for them to break so soon?
I've had two electric toothbrushes in my life. The first one lasted for maybe 10 years. The breaking point was plastic degradation which occluded the internal electronics and destroyed de button to turn it on.
I think could have been repaired with the right materials. The repairability of the brand I buy is pretty good.
For anyone curious the brand is:
Tap for spoiler
Oral b
The electric toothbrushes are nice but the head replacements are too expensive and I've not find a suitable offbrand replacement. So I end up boiling the toothbrush heads several times to extend their lifetime.

Printers are the worst. The absolute worst.
The hvac control panel.
The furnace and ac units are both great, but the control panel will sometimes just, idk, dissociate. I can change settings and it displays them, but they don't "take". It won't relay those changes to its bigger brethren. In order to snap it back to reality, I have to go out to the garage and flip the breaker because there's no other way to power cycle it.
There are spiders in the garage. And they are prolific with their webs, especially where I need to walk to get to the breaker panel.
So when the hvac panel glitches, it's a whole ordeal to fix it.

Our gas stove. Unreliable AF, and has a tendency to cook unevenly. The oven also fucking sucks. Multi-thousand dollar premium PoS. I miss my resistive electric stoves.
On the other hand, the air fryer never burns things and almost never has issues.
