Well, it's obviously true new stuff breaks fast, can't argue with that. But it's deliberate, not forgetfulness. Just capitalism on steroids.

> Deliberate

I've been thinking about this; I suspect that a lot but not all of "planned obsolescence" comes down to not acting on a flaw, that aligns with your interest, as it appears. Can that be thought of as deliberate?

It's a trolley problem kind of question I guess.
