Completely anecdotal, and mostly unrelated, but my NES from 1990 is still going strong. Two PS3’s that I have owned simply broke. CRTs from 1994 and 2002 still going strong. LCD tvs from 2012 and 2022 just went kaput for no reason. Old hard

The Balrogs (Sindarin for ‘Demon of Might’; Quenya Valarauko) were Maiar (“Ainur of lesser degree than the Valar”). Other Maiar were Gandalf, Sauron, Melian. Gothmog and “Durin’s Bane” are the only two named. Basically bad Maiar.
