!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I usually hold onto the box of anything I buy brand new for about three months. After that you can get rid of it.
Electronics either work or they don't, there is seldom anything in between.
If your device doesn't fail or develop problems within a month or two, then it will last the warranty period and much longer if you take care of it.
I just hang onto the box for two or three months just to be sure.
The only other reason to hang onto the box is if you plan on reselling the device in a year or two. It's a lot easier to resell for top dollar or a higher price if your device is clean, undamaged, has original manuals and the original box.
