Ask HN: Favourite products built with repairability and durability in mind?
As an antidote to many modern products that have built-in obsolescence, what are some of your favorite products and technologies that are built with longevity, repair-ability and durability in mind?
Examples include:
- Desktop computers (components are largely interchangeable, a good desktop will last decades)
- Bicycles (parts are easy to find online and mechanically they are simple enough to maintain yourself)
- jolmg 8y agoHmm... mechanical keyboards? You can replace individual keys. Cars, too. I wish I knew more. I think some laptops are made more repairable than others. I got a sick Panasonic toughbook next to me. Seems very durable, and although I haven't opened it, it doesn't seem to difficult to reach the various components judging by the various unscrewable compartment doors.
