I think we can all agree with this, especially when it comes to technology. A good example is my laptop which is already 12 years old and still working but a computer bought a lot later already faces some of the struggle the old buddy has to go through after a long battle. Not to mention phones that feel like they have only two years lifetime but if I open up a box with one of those old phones that had nothing to do with touchscreen and fancy stuff, are still working.

Manufacturers want things to last less and less so we all need to buy more, it's a good business model financially if the balance between the product being a total failure and lasting just long enough can be found. But, it's for reasons like this humanity are burning through resources, pumping harmful contaminants into the air and ocean and...is doomed.
You use a laptop that's twelve years old? I'd say you got value for money there for sure.
Yep, that's where I write most of my articles for hive actually. There's not much you can do with it as it's quite laggy but did take care of it and upgraded the ram and it's still going. But yeah, I usually refuse to buy something new unless the thing I'm currently using is not broken.
