I had to stop here.
Thinkpads, especially older models, were easy to repair and even possible to upgrade. Why, then, bying a new one every year?
Clearly, lack of serviceability is a lesser concern than consumerism.
- Rebelgecko 5y agoIf you had kept reading you would've actually gotten to the part where he addresses that.
- rixed 5y agoI guess you are not referring to the part where he says he had to look elsewhere than Thinkpads because he couldn't buy one quickly enough, nor the part where he says he decided long ago to gift himself a new laptop every year regardless of his needs. Surely, you are referring to that part where he says that he always managed to find some poor whom to give the old laptops to. I don't think this addresses my concern other than superficially though. Charity does not make consumerism sustainable.
