If they have to make it in the factory in China to fit this description, it’s less profitable to make it 2 ways. It would take it being drastically more profitable to make something unfixable vs outdated. Let’s face it. A 10 year old processor is a limiting factor. Are you going to buy a new processor, graphics card and board to support it or buy an old processor that fits your 10 year old machine.

Yes we should be able to fix our shit. Some items dont make sense to fix though. “A fridge I bought in the 90s still works!” Yes it also costs $200 per year vs $60. So if the new fridge lasts you 7 years… It saves you money every day after, and in reality, replacing it saves the earth.

So only a fool would have a fridge from 1990 running. They paid to much and are hurting the entire world.
