Today is #EarthDay. Fittingly, I have my old Game Boy sitting on the table. This thing is over 30 years old, has outlasted countless batteries, and still works perfectly.

When we talk about sustainability in the tech industry, that’s exactly where we need to go back to: devices that are repairable, last a long time, and don’t suffer from planned obsolescence after two years. Disposable electronics are a bug in our economic system, not a feature.How sustainable are you when it comes to your tech?

@tokiel Yes!
@root42 Technology from 1979 that’s still running and bringing joy in 2026!
That’s the absolute best argument against planned obsolescence and disposable electronics. Beautiful machine, have fun gaming! -

@tokiel Yeah ! I love retrogaming (repaired a Nintendo Entertainment System, and changed some batteries of GameBoy Color cartridges).
Also, my 14yo laptop is still perfectly working thanks to Linux distros. -

@tokiel to some degree yes. With computers my limit is soldering and with new stuff when focused on laptops, unfortunatelly not. I’m on Mac and I hate how much they closed expandibility. Still lifecycle of their computers is longer than any other PC. but in general I try to repair my appliances. I like brands that allow that, come with clean spec or user friendly mechanics. Haier’s washing machine, Dyson’s vacuums they are already proven to me as example. I wish we came back to simpler tool+device combination to fix our own stuff with a bit o knowledge magic from the internet or AI more these days. Actually the second encouraged me very much to try to fix more myself all around. Not only electronics
