hope that planned obsolescence is becoming a thing of the past.Would save the amount of stuff junked and causing pollution if that were the case.Also proprietary ability to repair things as in preventing the user or a more general technician/repair shop from doing so.Would think they would need to be steps on the route to a greener world.

I don't play every day but I still use the single French horn I got in 1970. SunRizr dusk/dawn simulator that was a gift in 2000 (happily surprised this still works), in use every day.

My wallet was given to me sometime in my teens over 30 years ago. At this point it's falling apart and needs to be replaced but is still useable.
Ditto, my wallet is 20+ years old, has seen better days but is still hanging in there. A lot of clothes I still wear, jackets mostly, that are a couple of decades old. There's a cardigan I've got that I still wear that I'm pretty sure I got from my dad, which must be over 50 years old, not that I've owned it for 50 years.
