It’s still very conceptual, but Dell is exploring a modular laptop. I hope it comes to market for real soon. There should be more options for this.

Also when it comes to the world of clothing, the materials are really a minimal piece of the cost. A big portion is the labor that goes into it. Wool sweater of the same material may still range wildly (say, $100 vs $400) because of the ethical labor practices that they take. And sometimes it’s really just because of a brand name and their labor practices still suck.

They’re expensive and heavy but I love Dutch ovens with enamel coating. A good brand and proper treatment will make them last forever, and I think it’s easier to use and a good display piece for dinner parties. I prefer to cook most things in my Dutch oven over pans etc.

Patagonia also does truly focus on sustainability, so there’s a lot of emphasis on repair along with well made. You are likely to be able to get small issues repaired locally.

Don’t own this but I’ve used it and it’s very nice! If you want one that can do a traditional pull through, we have a wusthof set and really like it.

I don’t have a cordless but the shark vacuum is a stick vacuum cleaner so less clunky and has worked very well and is just as easy to store (hangs on a hook). They also sell replacement parts. I feel like it has all the benefits of the cordless with the consistency of a traditional outlet. I have not had it forever but have had no issues in the last 3 years.
