> Is it recycling that needs to be implemented or go ever deeper at the source and crack down on disposable, unfixable, ephemeral gadgets? IMHO, the answer should be "crack down on disposable, unfixable, ephemeral gadgets" and quality decline in general. There are all kinds of apologetics defending disposablity and lack of repair-ability, but it's all bullshit to justify the enshittified status quo. Appliances should be designed to last 25 years. Even if that means the up-front cost is more expensive, it's better for everyone except appliance salesmen than buying 5 appliances that only last 5 years each. Large manufactures should be required to provide a stable supply of repair parts. Any tech that can be made reusable should be made reusable. And I'm personally fine with an unwieldy government bureaucracy to bully our fine corporations and their executives into compliance. They've shown they need it.
