#RighttoRepair #PlannedObsolescence

Environmental issues, but also #CostofLiving impacts, as we fail to make progress on creating a #CircularEconomy: I suggest improvements to the #ProductRegulation Bill.

All about #PlannedObsolescence

(an especially infuriating aspect of USA #EndStageCapitalism)!
People also paid more money for clothes back in the day. They purchased things with the expectation that they would wear it for many, many years. Today, people spend less per item but consume more. When the price of a garment is very low, manufacturers cut back on details and fabric.

#PlannedObsolescence is standing in the way of me getting jobs. If you don't have the latest tech, you can't apply for pretty much any job requiring use of tech. Which is pretty much every job. #UpgradeTreadmill #Boostraps #SoftwareFreedom

Senseless violence on the #Pixma it is then. I wonder if #Canon CEOs at some point will also start to glance around nervously when stepping outside 🤔 Because this is a prime example of #PlannedObsolescence right there. #PrinterMafia

100%, but Capitalism's got to capitalism, there will be no practical benefits to you having new a computer.
But they'll literally go bust if you don't buy one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The e-waste generated by the support expiry of windows 10 next year will be enormous. Microsoft could have created a lightweight no frill version that would simply replace W10 but that was beneath them. Totally irresponsible.

Anyone else had issues with the Samsung The Frame 43” (2022)?
Black lines appeared 6 months after warranty. Samsung denies it's a known issue, but others report the same on their forums. Let’s connect and share cases.

I am just thinking about creating a website collecting cases of #PlannedObsolescence. Nobody wants to buy a product which stops service after a certain amount of time. Manufacturers can be avoided. For now, please report with tag #PlannedObsolescenceDB.

Th 3 biggest retailing crimes IMO, are
1 #PriceGouging via excessive mark-ups from wholesale costs to retail sale prices,
2 #PlannedObsolescence in DELIBERATELY #MADEtoFAIL products &
3 false or exaggerated #advertizing&marketing of items.
There's almost no retailed prod not sold w these now!
