Things should be made to last and not be made to intentionally break after a short time.
how is that a boomer opinion?
Things used to be made like this. Only boomers are old enough to remember buying an iron for life.
@emerty @0xc0ba17 for example automobiles? Detroit invented planned obsolescence and convinced people that two years was the right frequency to buy a new car. It was Japanese manufacturers in the late 70s and 80s who ended that nonsense. Boomer era commodities were also disposable crap by design.
