RE: The Old Dog Discusses: Planned Obsolescence Exposes The Dark Side of Product Design!

in #evil7 years ago

Yes we here in the US are very in tune to planned planed obsolescence in many things especially the autos.
Interestingly, I just ran across this and my son did his second all time post about it. We found a brand new looking Porter Cable air compressor. Only thing wrong was a tiny plastic part. There were loads of videos on YouTube of folks having the same problem. This part was clearly engineered to fail.

Very nice article from Ben! It's great to see a father and son doing stuff together!

Thanks Old Dog. I feel its better in my garage ready to work, rather than rotting in a landfill. I already had one, but now I have one downstairs in my shop and one upstairs in the garage :)
