Service with a grudge.
The Verizon-affiliated store here in my small town no longer carries any accessories for the Apple iPhone 12.
A phone I bought in December of 2020.
My response: "Lady I got stuff in my freezer that's older than that."
And they wonder why we hate them. *
* Note to self: Defrost that turkey pepperoni soon.

Read article about why modern things are low quality:
https://english.elpais.com/culture/2025-07-20/the-bewildering-phenomenon-of-declining-quality.html
It lefts me with a strange taste of smth like "victimblaming" — like, I know the fabric of my clothes (cotton and linen); I dunno change clothes, electronics and furniture if they are "out of fashion". And a lot of ppl around me do the same.
Where are these mythical ppl, who buy fashionable things each 2 years? Where they earn so much money?!

I can still do almost everything just fine with my Early 2013 27" iMac, thanks to the (at the time) top-of-the-line model, and OpenCore Legacy Patcher, which allows me to use almost-current macOS versions with all security updates.
Even #Reaper with tons of plugins and DaVinci Resolve still work great.
Two points will make me upgrade in the near future, though:
* X-Plane 12 won't run, because it needs a more recent Metal version, which the hardware doesn't support, and
* #NeatVideo denoising takes ages, but it does such a marvellous job for low-light footage from my almost-as-old DSLR.

Well, there´s your problem!
(This busted TPS54339E step-down converter would explain why my WD 6TB MyBook decided to die exactly 2 weeks past its 2-year warranty).
Sometimes it's hard not to suspect #PlannedObsolescense - this has happened several times for me, especially with #Seagate and #WD hard drives...

This is truly planned obsolescence. A mouse shouldn't die so soon - or not have this problem at all. #plannedobsolescense

More good news: Your Power Button Won’t Last Forever. "You’re close to becoming powerless over your phone, and it all has to do with the little “wake” button on its skinny right side."
