Dingelingeling! Highly interesting article on the carbon footprint of bicycle 🚲 production and use on my favorite website (the low tech magazine). My no. 1 take-away: in terms of life-cycle assessment a steel-frame electric bike has a lower footprint than a non-electric aluminium-frame bicycle! Read much more here ➡️

Fridge is barely four years old and it's kaput. Needless to say, I'm rather angry about the whole thing. Major appliances just don't last anymore. The fridge it replaced was over 20 years old before it failed.

Sigh.

Repair guy coming tomorrow AM. It'll cost us an arm and a leg to fix, but that's still cheaper than a new fridge.

@TechyDog // Just think of the possibilities...you'll be toasting like no one's ever toasted before 🤣. Dedicated chip on a toaster, this is why we cant' have nice things. #PlannedObsolence.

*seufz* looks like my 14 month old #hp color laser printer is b0rked.

Guess the picture drum is broken slightly over the 1 year warranty time... A new one is about a third of the price of a new printer. Did some cleaning, but to no avail.

Well played... Now Hewlett Packard is fixed on my personal list of #PlannedObsolence.

The hinge of my lenovo ideapad s145 broke its under 2 years old so the warranty is still valid fortunately. Really disappointed that a laptop worth 800e breaks under two years of use especially when it has been stationary on my desk for the six months.
