Oh no, I don't get flack about this on the internet, from friends, workmates, clients or strangers. I'll leave it there though, with the exception that I don't buy any bricks or car-chargers besides the Anker ones anymore.

This last week I got some $60 3-in-1/"portable" non-sense for work. Open-box, but still, I've turned an un-healthy corner of leaning-into the character my family thinks I am in yet-another facet of financial-irresponsibility.
