Turn them all into digital clocks!
Some time ago, a "Kindle suspected of withdrawing from the Chinese market" news appeared on the hot search, and many people remembered the Kindle that had been snubbed for a long time. Although it is often complained about as a bubble noodle artifact, the reality is often more cruel, and most people are too lazy to turn it over even when they are bubble noodles - if they can be obtained at any time, it is not the bottom of the pressure box. (See here, you can take out your Own Kindle and charge it)
In the ash list, kindle is only the most often complained about, and there are many products like it that have been beaten into the cold palace. Outdated or damaged electronics have lost their useful value, and emotional players just collect them. Is there any way to make them "exert their residual heat" other than eating ashes in a drawer?
Kindle
Let's start with the Kindle. Many people on the Internet have posted pictures showing low battery, and some people have provided a new use of the Kindle as a digital clock. The official Kindle system naturally cannot install applications casually, and needs to be implemented with a "web browser".

The code allows the Kindle to be solidly lit (restarted to recover), and it is recommended to turn the backlight brightness to the minimum and turn on airplane mode at the same time, which can make the battery life a little longer.
Switch
I wonder how many people bought a Switch for the fitness ring? Only a few people can insist on exercising (becoming bald) and getting stronger, and more people are impulsive. If you're not a heavy player yourself and can't find someone to play a party game with, the Switch is actually used in very few scenes, and it is difficult to escape the fate of eating ashes in the end.
Nintendo officially produced an "AAA Clock" that costs HK$79. Yes, you read that right, its function is to make your Switch display a digital clock, the value is quite good, you can switch 24-hour clock, change the color style. With a colorful handle or sticker case, it is also good to put it on the table as an ornament.
This alarm clock software also comes with a game, similar to Chrome's disconnected little dinosaur, no game experience.
There is also a fitness ring that eats ash, how to use the fitness equipment twice, don't need me to say more, right?

iPad/iPhone/Android
The iPad is a little better than the first two, and while not everyone uses it as a "productivity tool," at least you can look at iQiyi. The use of iPad has been robbed of many mobile phones and computers, such a large and excellent screen, it is a waste to put it, it is better to turn it into a digital clock!
iPad Clock App I recommend "Puzzle Clock", which is rich in style and also comes with sound effects, which can be set to run automatically when charging with shortcuts, or add widgets to the desktop.
The Puzzle Clock is also available on iPhone and is recommended for friends who have an old iPhone at home.
Android clock application is more, or there is a choice, buy a "nut alarm clock type wireless charging seat", the second-hand market price is less than 100 yuan, several nut mobile phones that support wireless charging can be directly put up to display page turning alarm clock, other brands need to install the "nut clock" App.
Renovation of old things
The above is an outdated or less used product, not unusable, some products are really completely lost in use.
Recently, it has become popular to put digital parts into the display frame, and someone has made this a business, you can directly buy the framed finished product to collect:
A treasure shop: Fun Creation
Someone made a necklace for the circuit board:
A treasure store: 1ceas
The combination of fashion circles and digital circles is also interesting, and AirPods can be used as accessories:

When people buy digital products, most of them put practicality first, and before buying, they will compare the price and parameters in detail, and imagine various usages. But contrary to expectations, people have limited time at their disposal every day, and the most important thing in the digital field is the iteration of new products. When an old object loses its useful value, in addition to selling it second-hand, it is better to think about how to make yourself not forget it.
Quietly (bright and upright) to tell everyone that during the Spring Festival, Xiaohongshu has a "#带长辈玩数码" activity, and Geek Choice as a helper invites everyone to teach the elders a digital skill during the New Year, and let's teach them to unlock a more convenient digital life
