Podcasts about Planned obsolescence

What would change if you knew the exact date your life on earth would end? Would your priorities be different? Would your relationships matter more? Would your faith deepen? Today's […] The post Planned Obsolescence appeared first on Broken Door Ministries.

I was listening to Alex Elle's most recent Insight Timer meditation series, and on day five of the series, she talked about ways of being and relationships being obsolete- not all in a bad way, but in a “ sometimes you evolve, and that makes things obsolete”.Or maybe this was my reflection as I did said meditation, based on her new book The Company You Keep. Either way, I went down a deep dive of what it means to be obsolete or be made obsolete, especially in this current moment. And since I do care a whole lot about how gentrification has played into that feeling of being obsolete, that's what I want to share with you this week.I share a lot of big thoughts around people, places, and things every week, with the aim to build a culture of stewardship and community, no matter your zip code. Make sure you're subscribed so I'm always in your inbox. And even better, help me get my last few books shipped and more ordered to be gifted by becoming a paid subscriber!So much of the concept of obsolescence is rooted in the idea of controlled or planned obsolescence, which forces us to give up things that are actually good, but not to capitalists and oligarchs that need us spending constantly.Reflecting back on my experience with losing jobs and contracts, which then made me too depressed to go to work, which then made so it was harder to pay our household bills, including our rent, then losing what I thought was a dream apartment, I came to the following conclusion.Gentrification is planned obsolescence when it comes to place and culture.Policy leaders can aid major developers in claiming that a neighborhood is a slum, then tearing it down and building over it, but only because said neighborhood has a lot of Black bodies doing well.Some Black communities have watched lands sit vacant for up to 30-60 years, because those who decided they were unworthy to have community wanted to wait to build on it when the money is “right”.And yes, even when someone loses access to income from a job, it's still gentrification because often the person who is being replaced at work is Black or another undesirable person of color, disability, or gender/sexual diversity. Many companies that think like this will hire someone for said diversity, until the money gets funny because it takes time to build on that diversity, or they do the work better than expected, but jealousy builds up because the racism of expecting your non-white employees to do worse than you was exposed. Then the company dumps everyone back out, and makes them struggle to pay their rent or mortgage; then the landlords and mortgage companies protecting their investments dump them out of their house.And before you claim that racism isn't always a factor, so much of our working world is built on white supremacist cishetero patriarchal capitalism. Anyone trying to contort themselves to fit that mold in the pursuit of not being obsolete, while not being fully embodied as a white cis straight racist patriarchal capitalist, is going to be obsolete, but then possibly spiritually bankrupt!So many of us who lost our jobs in 2025, many with stellar work records and without prior warning, are really feeling this pain. Especially if for a hot minute, you did try to contort yourselves a little bit and you're trying to regain your spirit and soul from the near purging.I'll admit that over the years, I had been taught certain ways of contortion, and they worked for a little while. But, later down the line, I've also been in situations where I've always done the right thing, and it still wasn't enough. Both are painful for us as Black folks.I wrote The Defying Gentrification Playbook especially for you, because I'm determined that none of us will be made obsolete, no matter what kinds of sacrifices we made to try to fit the mold.Take a moment to grab your copy and support my Bookshop storefront. Or ask your favorite Black and/or queer bookstore to order The Defying Gentrification Playbook. Those who ordered way back in November, we are finally shipping and hand-delivering; your wait is almost over!I also don't want us to be luddites, but the way this change is happening is similar to what the original Luddites went through, and it's tempting!Having had this lived experience of losing my job for saying no to being complicit, especially this past year, I often feel like a luddite in the midst of this conversation around how gentrification is supposed to be a net positive.I've heard for years from middle-class Black folks across the diaspora that gentrification is what we need, after we “tore up our own neighborhoods”.Never mind that tearing up came from a rage of being made obsolete, after already having been enslaved into labor that we didn't choose, denied reparations for how said system wreaked havoc on us across multiple continents.And in this current moment, we are supposed to be ok with not being needed at jobs, because we don't look or sound right or we do too much.How the machines are supposed to do us better, at work and selling products on and offline and on music streaming sites.And when it is a human involved, they better be as thin, light, white, and docile as possible.Somehow I'm supposed to make enough money to pay the rent, and then eventually qualify for a mortgage in this environment.If I do speak up for human rights, I need to do it as an ally, or I need to do it next to a white partner or with the bloodied flag of fighting for “my” country or with perfect grammar or diction. Stop stimming so much, so I don't look like one of those people.Or all of the above, all at once; otherwise I am obsolete.And said obsolescence is the plan.Again, I decided that I'm going to build my own plan as a shield. A Playbook. And even if no one else buys it, it's at least my spiritual compass.I'll hold it in the fiery furnace, and neither it nor me will burn down or be put out.We will emerge victorious, smelling nothing of smoke.The machines and their makers will be melted and of ash beside me.Our bellies will be full, and our heads will be sheltered, comfortably.And everyone who refuses to conform to obsolescence and everything that makes this Earth an ecosystem without extraction will continue to thrive!Until next time,Kristen Get full access to Defying Gentrification, Crafting Liberation at theblackurbanist.substack.com/subscribe

Peacewarts: Dept. of Living Roots - Planned Obsolescence & the Logic of War (Class 11) We examine how the "throwaway culture" of modern economics conditions us to accept human expendability. This class explores the link between the Rana Plaza disaster and precarious labor, the role of e-waste in Agbogbloshie, and how military "use-it-or-lose-it" logic mirrors consumer waste. Homework: Look up the term"Planned Obsolescence" and find one product in your house that you believe was intentionally designed to fail or be unrepairable. Write down one question about any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write “no question.” Optional: Journal for five minutes about the word "Disposable." List three things you consider disposable. Now, try to trace where they go when you "dispose" of them. Does that change your view of them? Learning Topics: The transition from stewardship to consumption; The Rana Plaza Collapse: The human cost of fast fashion; E-waste in Agbogbloshie, Ghana, as a driver of regional instability; "Use-it-or-lose-it" military budget cycles; The cultural normalization of "collateral damage."

We're one week out from a new season of Second Nature! Before our season 4 launch, we wanted to bring it back to one of the community's favorite episodes from last season: Why Don't We Fix Things Anymore?Planned obsolescence and perceived obsolescence have us in a disposable consumption cycle. But it hasn't always been this way. When and why did we stop thinking things were worth fixing?In this episode, we get a history lesson in planned obsolescence, visit Adrienne Ferre, who is helping run a Makers Hub in LA, complete with a tool library and repair cafes. And we catch up on Right to Repair legislation with Commons' founder and CEO Sanchali Seth Pal. 

Are you sick of things breaking the second the guarantee expires?From washing machines, phones and other kitchen appliances, are there simple ways to combat planned obsolescence?And, should we all actually be repairing things ourselves instead of forking out for something new?Joining Seán to discuss this is Caitriona Redmond, Consumer Columnist with the Irish Examiner.

This week we expound upon last week's topic and address the idea of planned obsolescence...are most things made with a planned "expiration date"? We also discuss some preseason deer scouting and how some popular thoughts, such as the significance of signpost rubs, may or may not play into your deer hunting game plan. And lastly, we discuss the first Florida bear season in a decade and the opposing points of view that are applicable to all hunters who care about the sport.

We explore the tension between private creative work and public output—why some projects stay hidden in desk drawers, what gets lost when we don't capture ideas in the moment, and how the act of recording thoughts (whether on paper, voice memo, or typewriter) shapes what eventually gets made. The conversation moves through the craft of writing, from Dostoevsky dictating novels to assistants to the question of whether our image-saturated culture has made us illiterate in different ways than previous generations.The second half examines our complicated relationship with technology: the gratitude for AI tools that eliminate tedious tasks versus the frustration when a 2019 truck takes 45 seconds to connect to CarPlay in 2025. We discuss why analog tools aren't about nostalgia but about reliability—buying things that work the same way in year six as they did on day one, seeking friction and discomfort as antidotes to seamless existence, and recognizing that many technological "solutions" only fix problems technology itself created. Through references to Orson Welles films and a discussion of One Battle, we land on the strange appeal of living without constant connectivity, even as we acknowledge we'll never fully escape it. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Alan is joined by the one and only Dr. Brian Baliwas. You might know him better as @sfdentalnerd on Instagram, where he is probably the most entertaining dental follow on the platform! Alan and Brian have a lively discussion about the frustrations of dental insurance, the perils of planned obsolescence in dental equipment, and the importance of transparency in dentistry. They delve into the surprisingly efficient insurance model used for Dr. Baliwas's dog, Xylo and contrast it with the often opaque and frustrating world of human dental insurance.  The conversation also touches on the challenges of running a fee-for-service practice, the hidden costs of dental procedures, and the value of patient communication. Key Takeaways: Dental insurance vs. pet insurance: Dr. Baliwas highlights the stark differences between the transparent and efficient claims process for his dog's insurance and the confusing world of human dental insurance. This raises questions about the role of employers, transparency, and the overall value of dental insurance plans. Planned obsolescence: The conversation explores the frustrating trend of planned obsolescence in dental equipment, with examples like air polishers and intraoral scanners. Dr. Baliwas shares his experience of repairing his own equipment due to a lack of available parts and discusses the push towards subscription models for dental technology. Fee-for-service dentistry: Brian discusses the benefits and challenges of running a fee-for-service practice, emphasizing the importance of accurate cost analysis and transparent patient communication. The value of hygiene: Brian and Alan discuss patient perceptions of dental hygiene and the importance of comprehensive exams in a preventive dental model. They also touch on the use of air polishers and guided biofilm therapy. The importance of company support: When choosing dental products and equipment Brian stresses the importance of excellent company support and customer service rather than simply focusing on the "best" brand names.

In this thought-provoking episode of Your Tech Report, Marc Aflalo sits down with Sandeep Panesar, to unpack the realities behind planned obsolescence and its effect on the tech industry and consumers. The discussion begins with a practical definition of planned obsolescence and its deliberate implementation by companies to encourage faster replacement cycles and sustain long-term sales. Sandeep shares his personal experience with an iPad Air 4 and the challenges he faced after updating to iOS 18, showcasing how software updates can unintentionally or intentionally lead to usability issues. The conversation also highlights the legal framework surrounding consumer rights, touching on Quebec's Consumer Protection Act and its similarities to the stringent EU consumer laws. Sandeep and Marc explore the implications of consumer brand loyalty and how information asymmetry benefits large corporations. They then transition into discussing the digital divide, hinting at the ways planned obsolescence can exacerbate technological disparities. Listeners will gain insights into how companies may influence upgrade cycles, the potential motivations behind these practices, and what consumers can do to stay informed. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in consumer rights, tech sustainability, and the deeper strategies tech companies employ to drive their product ecosystems.

In this enlightening episode of Your Tech Report, Marc Aflalo is joined once again by Sandeep Panesar to delve deeper into the pressing issues of planned obsolescence and the digital divide. Sandeep begins by outlining the four types of obsolescence—systemic, perceived, functional, and technological—explaining how these strategies are purposefully designed to drive consumer spending. He highlights examples from tech and fashion, showcasing how companies use planned obsolescence to influence buying behavior. Marc and Sandeep also discuss the rising cost of technology and how these price hikes contribute to a widening digital divide. While first-world consumers may be able to keep up with new models, people in developing regions face significant barriers to access. The conversation shifts to the broader impact on society, touching on e-waste, resource exploitation, and the importance of moving toward a circular economy that focuses on reuse and recycling. The episode ends on an introspective note, recognizing that while solutions may be complex, awareness and conversation are critical first steps toward meaningful change.

What!? Phones? Cars? TVs? Bulbs? Batteries? ...and much more. Yes, designed with cheap parts, set lifespans, made to be unrepairable. There are lots of tricks to this trade. Corporations design products to break and or fail on a schedule? It's not a conspiracy theory. (Mainstream news if you look.) It's always about making maximum MONEY! No surprise to me, the government does nothing to protect its citizens. (Probably due to the typical cases of blackmail, bribery, and greed behind closed doors.) You will learn what to watch out for when making a new purchase. Learn their dirty secrets. Spot ethical companies with good morals and track records. Support them with your business!! BONUS: Could the Planned Obsolescence process be applied to humans? Toxins are distributed through the water, food, air, medicines, clothes, bath products, emf's, light, etc. Maybe these toxic doses here and there for long enough develops into a chronic disease? Or worse... it kills you 20 years early. I examine the corporate blueprint for making products terminate early and just apply it to people. It's a shockingly sinister idea to share with you. It could very well be true. Remember the more you know... the more answers you have for your betterment.

At least not yet anyway. We're still standing, warts and glaring faults and all. And you can forget the recent glory stories about our renaissance because we don't really need ‘em to validate us.We know who we are. And we know that the perception isn't often favorable. And we get that. But still there's an exuberance and spirit here that no interloper of a CEO can ever capture.It's a Detroit thing, or if you must, a Dee-troit thing, as Bob Seger so aptly put it. And we're proud of what that means.Instagram, Twitter, Newsletter

We generate so much e-waste per year that we could easily fill enough garbage trucks to circle the globe. In this episode we learn about innovative solutions to our growing e-waste problem, the EU's new right-to-repair legislation, and how this shift is challenging our throwaway mindset. Can we fix our way to a more sustainable future?

2017, the year of "Batterygate," when tech company titan Apple confesses to intentionally slowing down older iPhones through software updates, igniting public uproar and legal scrutiny. Is this a mere misstep, or a calculated element of a deeper strategy. Each iOS update, each annual product release, seems woven into a grander design to keep consumers ensnared in a never-ending loop of need and waste. As we navigate this engineered maze of fading batteries and obsolete devices, questions loom large. Could this pattern be more than just a drive for profit? What other forces lie behind this cycle, encouraging a culture of endless consumption and environmental toll?

In the winter of 1924, the Phoebus Cartel concluded that the best way to sell more light bulbs was to make ones that burned out faster. A century later, we're left to wonder, are our products intentionally made to self-destruct? Or is this "planned obsolescence" a myth because consumers naturally want the best and latest products?
