The big issue for me organizing. Stuff like USB sticks easily get lost so I never can find one when I rarely need it. I did a little organizing recently and I found 5 of them. I put them in a specific spot and now I know where to grab them. I gotta do it a whole lot more for the rest of my old cables and stuff.
If you got paid for instead of paying for tech recycling, and it was more commonly available, people might recycle their electronics more often.
Here, you have to not only wait for a time limited program to roll around maybe once a year (but no guarantees), you also have to pay a (non-insignifigant) fee for them to take your shit.
You could be fined for throwing such items in the regular trash, but afaik, it’s not actually enforced.
I should apologize. This was me. I got that first USB-C only MacBook in 2015 and spent the next 8 years buying half a billion small tech items trying to connect different things to it.
It will be cheaper/less waste in the long run as lightning cables are meant for single use before disposal. /s
They are real garbage though.
My apple OEM cables have only maintained connection for less than a month of cumulative use if they had to travel or do anything but sit unused on a shelf.
On the other hand, there’s a lot fewer roadkill cassette tapes, unspooling on the side of the road into tangled brown snarls, than there were in the 1980s.
