> If products you like keep getting discontinued, get used to it.

Well that's me. I used Windows Phone 8, my favorite phone of all time was the Blackberry Passport and my first iPhone is likely the last iPhone Mini ever.

At least the Steam Deck seems to go against that trend...I hope.

It is off topic to the python/ruby discussion, but I wonder if there is a way to discover if I am one of these people.

It seems simple enough:

a) a tendency to buy oddball products

b) track record of finding that products you use are discontinued

That is all there is to it. There is no psychometric test or theory.
