Comment on Smartphones are Designed to Fail Us (and We Have to Change That)

Even if it were true, lightbulbs still last longer and are way cheaper. Whether I have to replace them every six years or every five years doesn’t matter as much.

Light bulbs originally lasted basically forever, is my understanding. The wires were thick enough to not break with use. Then they were made thinner so they’d wear out eventually and users would have to buy more.
