  I mean planned obsolescence is absolutely a thing, but

  modern [microwaves] are prone to catch on fire

  is a wild take that you better support with some kind of proof. Otherwise it just makes the rest of your (IMO valid) argument look bad.

  Older computers were insanely slow after a couple years. It was insane. Now the machine I built like five years ago still runs insanely fast and can play any game out on the market at solid-to 144FPS. I blame SSDs mostly, but it’s crazy.
