That is true but the scoring system is not user-friendly. Linear progress makes sense for actual evaluation, but for user recommendation only an exponential progress makes sense.
For instance, iPhones are terrible to repair yet come up with 6/10 score. A user would think it's not that bad. But it is that bad, 6/10 in evaluation should be 0/10 for end-users information (only >9/10 should be considered any good).
Also, in my view it should be a criminal offense and a crime against nature/humanity to build a product that's explicitly designed not to be repairable. But well, we're not quite there yet.

- southerntofu 6y agoWell that's another topic. I'm strongly opposed to Bitcoin for many reasons (buyer's privacy is not one of those), but i don't place it on the same level: Bitcoin did not undergo any planned obsolescence (which was my initial point), it just did not take ecological matters into consideration at all. Negligence is in my view not the same as hostility. Also, Bitcoin is only a problem because our worldwide economic system is so fucked up noone can trust a government/bank with their money. We need to fix the actual problem (not the symptom), either by getting rid of money entirely, or by building a fair economic system.
