I could imagine something like a "#PipePost" / "pneumatic tube" like system to become ubiquitous - and more #standardization re: #containers for stuff due to #ResourceScarcity and the need to #UseLonger, #Repair and #Recycle way "harder"...

@cybeardjm same...

I want shit to be #repairable and I take pride in #UseLonger and #Upcycle...

And it's saddening that @Fairphone is an #exception rather than the norm.

But maybe I'm one of those checked-out millenials that refuses to "upgrade" to non-toolfree removeable & upgradeable batteries and non-fully replaceable RAM and SSD and who would use an Iridium 9575 PTT as daily driver if that wasn't paywalled at like €1,5k + € 50 p.m. just to do so.

OFC a lot of people will point out that cheap #Android devices are taking over #Africa faster and that a lot of places are already skipping the #Desktop & #Laptop phase of #Computing.

OFC, a #UsedMarket that is completely wack doesn't help in the #GlobalSouth as #LowSpecGamer showed in a deep dive into "#JustBuyUsed"...

But as we acknowledge that all production is somewhat yet intrinsically harmful, we should at least try to #UseLonger, #Reuseand #Upcycle a lot harder!

Also OS/1337 could be a way more accessible alternative to @Raspberry_Pi and other #SBC's in that it allows people to #UseLonger or rather #Reuse and #Upcycle stuff...

Kinda like @landley said re: #Android #development the same should be possible for #Linux in general, allowing someone in Agbobloshie to cobble together something that works for them and at least allow someone to browse the web via #Lynx and http://frogfind.com ...

@governa Kinda sad, because it'll make it hard to #UseLonger and #Reuse said tech...

@marcan And whilst one can argue that RAM & SoC won't wear out to the point they need replacing, #SSDs will INEVITABLY FAIL OVER USE AND TIME!

Removing the ability to boot from an external drive if the internal one is broken is just #PlannedObsolescence & #AntiRepairDesign to prevent people from #UseLonger and #Repair as well as #Refurbishing #Apple's devices.
The "#Security" Argument is complete #FUD since by the point the SSD is so dead, no data can be recovered from it without a lab anyway.

@matt *nodds in agreement.

I like my Logitech #G433 because it's robust, comfortable, and while it doesn't have any PU-Coating but Mesh+Foam only on the ears, those are replaceable and washable.

Also the cables and mic are fully removeable and swappable, making them last longer and allowing me to get cheap spares...

#UseLonger & #Repair before #Recycle is something I really demand from my tech...
