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.

Damn, did Technology Connections get everybody fired up? I just watched an Unlearning Economics video on the same topic.

What video did he do recently that would have gotten people fired up about this?

Tech Con: https://youtu.be/zb7Bs98KmnY

UnEcon: https://youtu.be/Fz68ILyuWtA

Might be more of a Baader-Meinhof phenomenon for me, because those two videos were just recommended to me back-to-back, and I’ve only watched the second one so far.

I really expected zero updoots here and maybe a reply saying I’m dumb cuz Tech Con barely said anything about obsolescence. I was just stream-of-consciousness’ing, but I guess others are feeling the same vibes? ¯\(ツ)
