Unfortunately, as the article states, these are still expensive alternatives. People will not go that way of a cheaper, faster version exists. I think eu regulation will help increase standards of maintainability though

Agreed. At this point, those of us who want to support sustainable companies are not nearly enough to swing the pendulum. There is no incentive for carriers or manufacturers to produce and support longer lasting devices.

Solving the problem will require regulation.

Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn’t a competition, it’s a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

  1. Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
  2. Be excellent to each other.
