hey Nia. good to see a new edition from you. Repair over everything! But sadly this is on the decline (including for me). As you mentioned repairing is sometimes really expensive. And I think we need alot of devices these days without which we cant function. Like i am always stressed if something happens to my laptop or phone. I know i cant buy a new one or get it repaired. it is like living on the edge. I do try to reuse and be more sustainable in non-electronic items
Thanks, Resh! And yeah, you're right. It's so difficult to find places & people to fix things, it almost seems easier (and cheaper in terms of cost/time) to just buy something new. I recently read about ConsoleFixIt which is run in South India by a family — very cool initiative we need more of in the world. (https://twitter.com/heyayushh/status/1744927659858219309)
