But this is consumer capitalism - as long as your working, in the
consumption loop, its not a problem - just buy a new one every 3
years. Wonder how long we, as a society, can keep up this ever
increasing consumption....oh, and don't lose your job, or retire ?-
your then out of the loop.

OTOH, when you retire you have time to keep older repairable stuff
running and you can visit the appliance parts stores during business
hours. My microwave is from the '70's, the washing machine from the
60's and the lawnmower from the 50's.

all that old stuff was made to last and be fixable. That's not the case
with modern electronics.
