Subscriptions gets a lot of hate, including on HN, partly for good reasons, but it has the bonus points that the companies' incentive is to make their products last longer. That's especially true for dumb devices that won't give any new feature to users with every year new model. I see signs that we're kinda sorta getting there, in France we have for instance Darty Max subscription which for a fixed price (starting at 12€/month) will come to your house and fix your appliance. But I feel like it's way too slow coming, and they don't have backward feedback (yet?) to tell which OEMs are doing well, which are doing shit.
