Well this next example isn’t about phones but e-bikes. Unfortunately unwise me bought a fancy designer bike made by a national startup (CowBoy, to name and shame them) and I’m now stuck with a fancy metal frame on wheels because the belt is not in stock. Ordered in February, supposed to arrive 60 days later, I’m still waiting, not even an email received, nothing in now late June.
So… yes my next e-bike will be very VERY boring, in the sense of relying on built that have easy to source replacement part.
Yes, it did take few a first relatively large mistake (even though I did use that bike daily for years already) but that’s what I meant by “only work once”. You try, make painful mistake, don’t repeat.
