Two simple way to reduce the likelihood of semiconductor storages *and* reduce the volume of e-waste we have to deal with.
1) Oblige vendors to guarantee N years of useful life for electronic goods, and advertise price-per-year of life alongside purchase price. This could reduce the wastage of semiconductors in disposable electronics, and help people avoid being ripped off by the designer landfill that's misleadingly marketed as being cheaper.
