Hi. In today’s episode, we look at Planned Obsolescence, the resulting mountains of e-waste, and why companies don’t want you to be able to fix their crummy products.

If you expect Cody to be nice to Apple, you will be very disappointed.

    microelectronics will be inherently difficult to upgrade, reuse and recycle. their continued hyper-evolution prevents any real programs. it will happen, but there are plenty of more voluminous, low-hanging-fruit we could be working on immediately.

    these are bigger items that are now made like garbage like all home appliances. these things should absolutely be user-upgrade able, 100% recyclable and designed to last decades. they could easily be designed in more modular fashion, and absolutely used to last decades.
