Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

    Such a crazy title. Should say “Longer device lifetimes reduce waste”.

    One reason I use Linux. My workstation was puchased back in 1998 and I do a partial but fairly major update about every 10 years.

    Same reason I have a Pixel with Graphene. Should get 6 years maybe a bit more.

    Partway through, a CEO starts wondering if we should have modular, repairable devices to ease the cost of upgrades and reduce waste.

    Good take once you wade through the clickbait, but ultinately it’s a silly article.
