Well if you only need the basic function (email, movie, internet etc), you can get a computer for like $500, so even if it die after 2 years, it is not so bad. Also, if you have a habit of backing up your files, a computer failure is not too bad.
Yea, i feel ya. But the thing that got me, if you watched the video, the guy with the printer found that a small chip in his printers board basically told the machine to fail after so many prints. And he found this russian dude (freakin awesome guy btw) who gave him this software that reset this number back to 0 and the printer worked again. I know millions of people would be out of work right now though if planned obsolescence wasn't in possibly every product out there. People wouldn't buy etc.
idk it just kinda opened my eyes to how much we consume and how the economy would fail if things didnt break.
I just thought i'd share this.
