You Don't Need to Keep Every Electronic Box! (lemmy.today)

Just cleaned out mt garage, closet, and attic. No clue why I kept every single box of anything electronic/tech based in the last ten years. I just tossed boxes for phones I haven't had in years, old CPU and heat sync boxes, boxes for 100mbps nics, old modems I don't have anymore. I've never needed any of these and have brought them with me through too many house moves.

Get a load of this shill for "big warranty", trying to get us to throw away our boxes so we can't RMA defective devices... /s

I am still hoarding actual 100mbps nics, but they don't have boxes, not sure which of us has the bigger problem :D

The last time I shipped something for warranty repairs I couldn't find the box because I had way too many. And it was fine!
