I love to keep my devices for a very long time.
It's cheaper, it's better for the environment, I don't need nor want all these new flashy things, and I'm too busy and lazy to take the time to shop and migrate to new devices every two years.
The things that always end up forcing me to upgrade is either the software that becomes incompatible or the battery that dies and I cannot change. This is exhausting, and shouldn't happen.
This is not inevitable. We could build devices and software more resistant to time (some already are, but aren't always accessible in many contexts sadly).
I am well aware this is part of the planned-obsolescence capitalist scheme. But I'm still going to share my frustration about it and push against it every way I can.
We could have nice things.
@Em0nM4stodon When my pixel 9a started having weird issues recently I got myself a Fairphone 6+ because I share this frustration. It's certainly not perfect, but I've really been enjoying it so far. I wish all brands would share the mission of making long-lasting, repairable, fairer devices. The world would be a lot better if they did. *sigh*
