Even with android custom ROMs like Lineage, support eventually ends. Meanwhile, you can just slap on linux onto any old computer and its still getting the latest updates. 🤔

Why not just do the same thing with phones? Forever phone updates? 👀

    older electronics, were designed to last 5-10+years, companies realized they wernt getting any more profit, so they had planned obselescene into every electronic device. every 2 years. microwaves built pre-2000 would last 20-30+years, and with more efficiency, while more modern ones are prone to catch on fire or break down after a certain amount of uses.

      I mean planned obsolescence is absolutely a thing, but

      modern [microwaves] are prone to catch on fire

      is a wild take that you better support with some kind of proof. Otherwise it just makes the rest of your (IMO valid) argument look bad.
