energy hog in the group
Old is good. It’s been manufactured, it works, probably uses less total resources to keep it rather than buy a replacement. I’m sure there’s a calculator somewhere that estimates how much total energy is used new vs old, if you include manufacturing and replacement energy costs. I mostly use everything until it stops working. My previous phone had a generous amount of clear epoxy on parts of the screen, but at some point there was too much epoxy, and clear isn’t really clear, is it?
