If my 2006 laptop lasts as long as my other machines – if it runs for another 1.7 years – it will have cost me only 26 euros per year. That’s more than 10 times less than the cost of my previous laptops. In this article, I explain my motivation for not buying any more new laptops, and how you could do the same.
Most of the 160-200 million laptops sold each year are replacement purchases. The average laptop is replaced every 3 years (in business) to five years (elsewhere).
The magical SD-card
I have all my data on a 128 GB SD-card, which I can plug into any of the Thinkpads that I own. I then make monthly backups of the SD-card, which I store on an external storage medium, as well as regular backups of the documents that I am working on, which I temporarily store on the drive of the laptop that I am working on. This has proven to be very reliable, at least for me: I have stopped losing work due to computer problems and insufficient backups.
The other advantage is that I can work on any laptop that I want and that I’m not dependent on a particular machine to access my work. You can get similar advantages when you keep all your data in the cloud, but the SD-card is the more sustainable option, and it works without internet access.

European standard EN45554 ‘details ”general methods for the assessment of the ability to repair, reuse and upgrade energy-related products.” In plain English, it’s a standard for measuring how easy it is to repair stuff. It’s also a huge milestone for the fight for fair repair.’

To combat electronic waste and abusive practices like manufacturers legally preventing users from repairing their devices, the EU is preparing legislation that would legalize a customer's "right to repair," and would force vendors to design products for longer life and easier maintenance.
An initial EU report outlining the upcoming legislation — which is available here — would also grant users the legal right to repair products in any repair shop of the user's choosing.
The EU argues that by replacing only the part of a product that breaks down, they'll reduce the amount of electronic waste that's produced each year, bringing it down to smaller numbers that can be easily recycled.

Hello all.
This is an open request : does anyone know about equitable non-smart phones or laptops, ideally long lasting and for the laptops: easily repairable with open-source componants ?
I know about Fairphone, but I couldn't find anything similar for simpler "feature phones".
By the way, I stumbled upon their cost …
