This might be appear to be another "old man yells at cloud" video about how the old days and ways of doing things were the best.

Its far far more than that though.

Its basically what I was trying to say about how CNC machines for metalworking wouldn't be much use in a lifehouse as they would be scrap in a very short space of time. The guys who can make and maintain high quality machine tools are very thin on the ground now though.

A word of caution... the "AI" narration is terrible as always. Read the subtitles instead.

Following on from our conversation on #righttorepair and #plannedobsolesence we now move onto the inevitable consequence: waste. Join us as we discuss disposable culture, green-guilt, and how we can approach the problem with a variety of emotions.

Left: toothbrush of The Humble Co., Material: 100% plant based, exchangable head
Use: 2 months continously twice per day (about 120 uses total till product end life of the exchangable part)

Right: Random children's toothbrush
Material: 100% virgin plastic
Use: 1 month, every other day approx., once a day (about 15 uses total until end life)

If the #EU can ban plastic straws, it also can ban sh💩t like these plastic toothbrushes. When will there finally be strict regulation on #plannedobsolesence?
