This is what it looks like to me: fairphone.com/en/ frame.work/blog/the-framework-lapt...
Plus trying to buy things that I can sufficiently assess are good quality and can be repaired. For me, it is absolutely linked to sustainability, reducing e-waste, etc. It is also easy for me, tbh, because I do not care about iPhones and what's 'hot'.
Example: I am typing this on my 'old' MacBook Pro 17inch mid 2010. Why is this 'old'? I have furniture that dates back at least 50 years (second hand, refurbished) and still is comfortable and gorgeous. But Apple decided I cannot upgrade this Mac beyond High Sierra. And Slack decided they will not support High Sierra as of September. This way, big tech forces us to buy new stuff. We need to resist this. We have the right to use the products we buy, without our use being restricted or made impossible by the seller.

Yeah definitely, I heard about the Fairphone but have not gone to purchase that because shipping and online retail taxes is really expensive.
I had not seen frame before but it's quite a good direction I guess. I hope with the legislation by FTC that is good enough that it will be used as part of our law in my country for "Right to Repair"
