one of the biggest "go screw" messages we could ever deliver to rampant venture capitalism is to slowly but surely move towards owning only things we can rebuild and repair nigh indefinitely at low cost of ownership over lifetime.
@djsundog It's something I desperately want to do with mobile phones and those sorts of devices, since they seem to be the most prone to this kind of thing.
A lot of them would be difficult to pull off this way, since to make them fairly easy to repair you'd have to use easily-obtained components and probably larger ones too, so they'd be on the big side. I could be wrong though, and maybe people wouldn't mind if they were super repairable and not too expensive.
