Many of the younger generations seem to accept that things don’t last/break easily.
I come from a time where there was a wiring diagram for the TV pasted on the inside back cover. Washing machines and other devices often had the schematics included. Repairing your stuff and keeping it running was the norm back then. Even if you couldn’t, you probably had a neighbour who could.
Planned obsolescence is a relatively new thing.
Things should be made to last and not be made to intentionally break after a short time.
how is that a boomer opinion?

Things used to be made like this. Only boomers are old enough to remember buying an iron for life.
