npub17dkjyc20gclm4tmpnsgjss43e49qlma8wqugg5s4ngav0jsgzl4q9w88tt (npub17dk…88tt) Having opened up some of this stuff, it's striking how expensively overengineered old stuff is, I think generally pointlessly for large appliances, which improve enough that it doesn't make sense to operate a 10+ year old one if you can afford a new one.
A lot of modern things seem underengineered, e.g., I can see where my $100 robot vacuum is going to fail and it could've been made to last 4x as long for another 10c. But, compared to a 50s/60s/70s vacuum, it's still a good deal.
