I've meditated about this a while now! Imagine the amount of electronic waste produced by planned obsolescence! You have a phone, TV, car and much more that could be diagnosed, repaired and reused for same or all different use cases.

All those phones that still are running LineageOS perfectly fine that could be used by the elderly who need not have much more than basic communication.
