I lost my mouse a couple times and bought an exact replacement, then found the old one. You can see the evolution of the logo(lemmy.world)

I agree, I just factor the cost of my time into the balance of the cost of a fix vs. a replacement. Cleaning doesn’t really count in my opinion, that’s something any device will require. For a $35 thing that lasts a decade and is made of plastic that will have eroded or fatigued significantly over that time anyway, the cost/benefit doesn’t really work it favor of repair, unless like you I enjoy the repair. For most people, the economics of the repair make even less sense.

Well here’s the thing: I can do that repair in the time it would take me to drive to the store, buy a new one, and drive back. People forget that costs time and labor too. And what’s the value of keeping these three mice out of the landfill for a few more years?

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
