How about your car?
Intentionally about 20 years old and no connectivity.
What happens in 20 years when you need a new car and all of them have connectivity, even the oldest second hand ones?
I’m trying to make the best choices I can right now. In 20 years, assuming I’m still alive, I’ll try to make the best choices available to me then – which will probably be to still drive a car from circa Y2K. Cars don’t just turn to dust after 40 years. People today are absolutely horny for cars from the 50s and 60s.
Fair point
