What a beautiful post my friend!
Really many things today are made to be changed quickly. See cell phones.
Ps: About the printer, you can reset the counter and start again
When I started working with sales, it started to become more evident to me. I wanted to sell something that had consumption and reuse.
Despite following this idea that today everything has a useful life, in cases that take time to buy others. For example a bed, a wardrobe (My parents' last one is from 1996 and is still in excellent quality, because of the used wood). Refrigerators for example, today I saw the samsgung advertisement giving a 10-year warranty. However, every day there is someone turning 18, getting married, going to live in a new house and needing to buy a product like this.
And just to finish, I started selling perfumes, something they will always buy. Today I also produce and sell candles. Something you will always need to buy. And finally mugs. But mugs are something that lasts, but they are personalized and there are many people who love collecting and giving gifts xD
Long live the capitalist world lol
Now that you mention about the printer, I remember that it was one of the first things that I began to notice years ago that it had a programmed life, until a short time (3 years) I understood what programmed obsolescence is and who benefits!
Thanks for your words friend, and greetings!
