You do not know the backstory here. The laptop and bike may have been purchased when he still had housing. Ending up homeless does not mean you are automatically stripped of all worldly possessions. A laptop and bike are very valuable to have on the street. In a digital world, being able to stay connected can help you do things like job hunt so you can get off the street again. And playing a video game so you don't fucking lose your mind can be time very well spent.

I find such remarks incredibly annoying given the importance of the "digital divide" in separating rich from poor. Criticizing a homeless person for hanging onto a laptop as their only path out of poverty amounts to hatred and a desire to keep them a permanent member of the underclass with no way out. I value my computer far more than I valued the crappy apartment I was evicted from. I always have.
