My "holy grail" totally unique electronic device was discontinued so to ward off my extreme anxiety about mine breaking/dying, I bought a backup. Would it be better to alternate between the two devices, use it once to make sure it's not a dud then wait until my old one breaks, or not turn it on and just hope for the best?
This is a sort of USB-charged bluetooth speaker, made by an extremely reputable company, if it matters. And I bought it straight from the manufacturer.
