Was mulling the news that, thanks to the AI bros, consumer electronics might be in short supply over the next year or so - and thinking about how good my TV, a Samsung, has been.

Then tried to figure out how *long* it's been good for. Well, I know it's been a while: the thing's got two SCART sockets and both an analogue and digital tuner...

No receipt in my email, so I scoured through old photos. Earliest I found with the TV in was November 2009.

...it was taken with my Nokia N95 8GB. Blimey.
