Every waking day of every waking use of the devices I have, I find myself constantly fighting a lot with the shitty input and recognition of said input. Things I swore I clicked once but having to click twice or sometimes three times. Such lag input between the last time I clicked and to the time the function of whatever I had to click fucking functioned.
With phones it is obviously worse, with finger input being either too sensitive or too dulled to register, inquiring more touches just to get somewhere or to type something, along with the separated frustrations aside trying to type on awful keyboard interfaces.
Shit just working doesn’t make money.
*doesn’t make enough money.
Things that mostly work with occasional minor problems that are easily diagnosed and fixed are still profitable… they just don’t maximise profitability.
That’s the problem. Capitalism isn’t happy with making a decent profit. It needs to maximize the profit by cutting everything else.
An answer so simple that you’d think it’d be more obvious, but there it is.
Yep, good old planned obsolence
