Comment on YSK that you can/should budget yearly for long term purchases
Eheran@lemmy.world 1 week agoBut things don’t just fail because of manufacturing defects. You can lose things, drop them, rip the cable out while moving a chair, … so many ways to break on day one that are not covered. But okay, I understand that you expect things to last at least a year, that is a reasonable minimum.

Yeah, I have dyspraxia which is basically medically diagnosed lack of coordination. I drop my phone at least a few times a day, I bang into walls and benches all the time, and I’ve fallen over so many times I don’t even get hurt any more. Along with the coordination I have lost or broken so many things in just this way, not to mention I am massive and most things are not built for giants. So yeah, a good number of items have been broken or outright destroyed shortly after purchase. No budget can handle that other than to just have more money on hand and to be as careful as possible. Screen protectors, rugged cases, and no open top drink vessels.
