What’s the BIFL item that you love but everyone around you thinks is ridiculous?
I have a random Nokia merch carabiner that I got for free while working at AT&T before the Nokia Lumia first dropped. I use it for my car keys and has survived longer than any other I have ever had. It’s heavy af and hasn’t lost its springy-ness after ~15 years, so for a free random item, it’s holding up well as my car key thingy - has followed me though 4 cars.

What is the equivalent of "Apple removed 3.5mm jack" of your favorite products ?
Nokia, too. Good, no nonsense, solid phones at a decent price.

What is the longest lasting item you've bought?
Any answer under 20 years is wrong. Look in your drawer, there's gotta be a Nokia 3310 somewhere!

A list of BIFL not made in the USA
I'm following this. For headphones/audio stuff, one of the few categories where tech is BIFL, Sennheiser, Germany is not only BIFL but also way better sound than the alternatives! Meze, Romania are also built like pieces of art and their new models sound like a dream! and Beyerdynamics, Germany are the choice for indestructibility for a reason. For tools, PB Swiss and Knippex, Germany, dominate for a reason. For knives, Victorinox, Switzerland and Opinel, France are not only top notch but also super affordable, and plenty of small French manufacturers if you want something fancier. For clothes, Fjallraven, Sweden deserves the reputation it has, and I'm very happy with my stuff from Seagale, France. If price is an issue, do not understimate the higher end of the Decathlon, France catalogue, it may not be as fancy as the alternatives, but durability is not compromised! For shoes, Carmina in Spain deserves a shootout. Same as Scarpa from Italy for more practical shoes. I know tech is not BIFL but Fairphone, Netherlands makes a repairable phone, and Nokia/HMD, Finland has done some nice repairability upgrades too. Tuxedo, Germany and Slimbook, Spain also sell computers based mostly on Clevo, Taiwan designs that tend to be more repairable and upgradeable than the alternatives.
