Yeah, their suits were disappointing quality, high price tag eight years ago. I doubt skimpflation and pressure from fast fashion improved that.

"Fast fashion" can fuck off to hell: garbage quality, sweatshop production, and a horrible impact on environment because of the materials and how disposable it is.

Newest-ish MacBook Pro, but close enough; how did you know?

Seriously, though: I update mine as needed, and Apple made it very clear they don't want their batteries last for more than 2-3 years - my current iPhone... 11 (?) is on its last legs due to that, so I'll have to upgrade.

Producing clothes that last 2-3 wears and are cheap enough that you can keep buying them weekly, if you wanted to, is a little different. Literal apples to oranges.

The English is not even my second language, so forgive me for misusing the expression (I just saw an "apple" in there, so figured that it was literal enough).
