@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip "hoarding their phones" - wait, does it mean, like, have one phone and use it for more than 2 years? because that would be the opposite of hoarding
-
@volpeon since when is keeping things for as long as they work "hoarding"?
or am I misunderstanding what they mean with "hoarding phones for more than 2 years".@hexaitos It's framing to make a reasonable action (keeping items that work perfectly fine) seem irresponsible

@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip "People need to stop hoarding their phone for more than two years" maybe phones have stabilized to where there isn't a major reason to have frequent upgrades anymore for most people? A good but cheap phone will last a good three or four years these days.
literally the newest innovation (that exists in the US) is flexible screens. we don't have shit like China or Europe where you can get what's approaching a true cameraphone in terms of lens quality, sensor types, processing, etc. (a thing that people would probably actually consider upgrading for outside of "random new thing and a slight upgrade internally") -

@volpeon if they wanted people to switch phone they should pull themself by their bootstrap and innovate in the domain of phone by making them cheaper and with real new feature instead of begging for handout from the consumers

@volpeon This has strong "Millenials are killing X industry because they aren't buying enough products" energy

Shame on people for not wasting money and destroying the environment so some tech CEO can get a little richer and for no other reason
Ok so headline and first paragraph or two are clickbait and the article quickly pivots to talking about businesses hanging onto ancient laggy equipment and how shifting to repairable and modular devices and a modular repair mindset rather than a purge and replace mindset might help prevent the kinds of technology drag that a business might have from trying to squeeze modern productivity out of ancient devices by allowing them to upgrade parts that need upgrading and repair parts that don't

@Metaph I swear clickbait has absolutely killed journalism all over the world and now it's only about generating clicks.
