New tech is exciting, but constant upgrading comes with a cost. Replacing devices early increases e-waste, hurts the environment, and squanders valuable materials. The most sustainable device is the one you already own. Repair it, maintain it, and keep it running longer. Your wallet benefits, and so does the planet.

Before you do your Black Friday shopping, watch Buy Now! on @Netflix and learn more about the overconsumption problem.

@iFixit @Netflix I wish manufacturers facilitated this by supplying security updates to devices for WAY longer than they do now. I'm sure that more people would use more older technology if the device wasn't a radioactive hazard to even be on the same network as modern devices. Imagine a world where manufacturers were required to release their products under a free software license after they no longer supported the product.
