So the idea of “buy it for life” is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment
What are some of the top items you recommend for this?
I’d go a step further and talk about all devices that are built well, and don’t fail early due to bad design, intentional design, etc. That work as intended for the life of the product, as much as possible.
GoRuck backpacks - I have full confidence my backpack will outlive me
Pelican cases - I know they will outlive me, especially the 1510LOC case
Swiss Army Knife - Victorniox, they last forever, the only reason I keep buying them is I lose them.
Quality Laptop (should last a decade!) - I had my macbook pro for 9 years, and now im running a framework.
Gallon of PCP - It will last the REST of your life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnEh0PpUZHI
When I saw gallon of PCP, I hoped it was what I thought, and I was pleasantly surprised.
That gallon of PCP lasted at least the rest of Candace’s life
How is your experience with the framework? I’ve been eyeing it as my next upgrade but it is a bit pricy so I’m saving up for it at the moment.
I’ve had a really good experience with framework laptops. They work well. They’re well built.
I had some issues with my first laptop, and after some necessary debugging back and forth, they sent me a new laptop.
Overall good company I look forward to good things. I’d like them to completely unlock the bootloader and allow the core boot team to work on it. But other than that no complaints
