I really feel this... with the whole devices thing, I was surprised to find that they do still make phones modeled after older devices mainly because they're easier for older people to use. I was able to get a pink flip phone from a modern phone store because they stocked them since they're popular with the elderly. It was WAY cheaper than a regular phone, maybe like €45. This is in Ireland, so I'm not sure about where you live, but if you manage to get that small bit of cash to spare, it's worth asking in phone shops if they have older style phones. They do still make them today, even if it means not getting hold of the cooler genuine older models. I also managed to get a working ipod nano secondhand since I found an ad for someone selling one near me, meaning I didn't have to pay for postage. I don't remember how much it cost, but it can't have been more than like €20. it is possible to reject the mainstream trends and use older styles of tech, and it's often way more affordable too. don't give up, I was really sad too when I thought it was impossible to get hold of this stuff, and I know you might not have the money for them, but they are out there, and they're cheap in comparison to what you'd expect to pay for new tech. when all else fails, I like to go digging for old internet graphics and decorate my web pages with them. just googling "free glitter graphics" gives you endless 2000s sites filled with those flashing sparkly gifs right at the top of the search results, since that style of image has gone out of fashion. it also helps me to try find new things that I actually do like, to remind myself the future isn't all bad, for example bands that are still active making good music, comics, books and tv shows that are recent but still pretty great, even fashion trends sometimes. I hope things get better for you soon, at our low points all we need to do is just try to survive. <3

My Mom died later that year and I got a camper from her inheritance. Two years after her death and I'm still in a state that I hate.

I sympathize. I understand. Yes, the internet has become less free in recent years, and a number of websites have already been deleted. Losing your mother is a great tragedy. But perhaps she is in a better place now. Sooner or later, people die. She would want you to move on and be happier, but also to remember her and the good times of the past. 

The tragedy was that the inheritance money... Was pathetic.

THAT'S what I had to feel. I'm too stressed about these damn people I knew, and what they might do to me, to feel sadness yet for any period longer than a few minutes. I'm not saying that I didn't love her, because I did love her and STILL do love her, but imagine your reward for physically caring for your mother for years while she's disabled, being in a state that you hate, and then being homeless in that state being "Congratulations. You're not homeless anymore."

Like holy crap. It PISSED ME OFF when I saw how low the dollar amount was. And I don't need any people thinking I actually, SOMEHOW, liked living in texas, if I end up dying here. They might as well crap on my grave if I die years from now due to ANY circumstance, and then people think 'he liked it here.'

Even if they think 'he tolerated it here,' THAT would be insulting to my memory.
