       @neil Much of the discarded-phone pollution could be resolved IMHO by restoring replaceable batteries to the design.  A lot of folks are entirely satisfied with their existing phone -- which just stopped working when the battery failed.

       @Sbectol @neil Fair enough, and enhanced by the fact that those updates and patches cost Actual Money to produce. The money comes from selling new phones, not patching old ones.

       @Grizzlysgrowls @Sbectol @neilCouldn’t agree more.I wrote recently in defence of buying cheap phones and keeping them for a lustrum at least — for $$$, for mental hygiene, and for the environment:https://blog.tripu.info/expensive-phones

       @tripu @Sbectol @neil I still have a fair pile of them myself.  They're actually kind of fun as IP cameras with the right apps and software.
