What about the many, many thousands of homes that have already been bought up?

Have you looked around? We actually have plenty of "housing", however most do not meet the qualities/criteria that make them desirable enough to be "homes".

Lower density, family and pet friendly. You know, the kinds of places that landlords live in. Not the places they are trying to force on others as "inevitable".

or how being locked in to a black box vpn instills a sense of having gained reliable true privacy?

"With lithium-ion batteries offering energy density of 0.8 megajoules per kilogram versus human body fat at 38 MJ/kg, robots face a 47-fold disadvantage that better engineering can't solve. Most platforms operate for just 90 minutes to four hours between charges."

17th iteration in less than 20 years, billions produced. About a billion already 'obsolete'.

Seems fair to ask: what's the expected lifespan of an iPhone these days?

Does anyone here have insight as to what percent of materials used to make them is actually recycled?

umm, you raise a valid concern, afaict, however, e-waste is kind of a taboo word around here, or? Or maybe just another part of the 'inevitable' belief system.

Like, how about that _planned obsolescence_ of a vast majority of consumer electronics hardware? (If that ain't the case, would be happen to learn otherwise from someone with better knowledge.)
