    Please make it illegal to put basic functions behind a cloud account/internet access. You shouldn’t have to connect to wifi for your washing machine to be able to do the rinse program.

      Never buy Samsung appliances. They are the biggest culprits for lack of repairability.

    So, the people who lived through the Depression/WW2 wanted to buy things that would last. Their kids wanted things that were bright and shiny and disposable. The next generation wasn’t exposed to durable items and thought junk was normal.

    If I could, I’d be making ‘heritage’ items designed to last and last. “Five times the cost, but you’ll give it to your grandkids.”

      Probably, doesn’t have to be much more expensive. Just designed in a more robust way.

    Why not just… make them all last? Get rid of capitalism for good.
