Hello from Vienna Green Expo! #ViennaVA #NoVA #PlasticFreeDMV

Some devices aren’t hard to repair by accident—they’re built that way. These design choices block access, add risk, and push you toward replacement instead of repair. That’s not innovation. That's planned obsolescence.

Which one annoys you the most?
