Wireless earbuds that still let you hear outside?
There is nothing wireless that’s BIFL no matter what. Batteries die, wireless codecs will change, absolutely none of these suggestions will last beyond a few years at original working capacity. If you have an Apple phone and can swing the money, AirPods Pro are a good product for convenience and ease of use. And I am far from an Apple shill

Stopping the phone upgrade cycle—my wallet thanks me
I am breaking the cycle!! I bought my iPhone 15PM when it came out. I usually upgrade every other year, and I went from the 14 to the 15 for the USB-C. The appeal and shine of “new” is gone. Might be my age, might be my fear of the economy. My current phone is still a powerhouse and I don’t intend to upgrade until this thing dies. Besides, the innovations of the upgrade cycle just aren’t there anymore.

Are Refurbished Electronics a Smart Choice?
I have bought several devices directly from Apple as refurb’s - -very satisfied with them. Mini 6, MacBook Pro M2, and I think a Pro 11. I would not buy Apple refurb devices anywhere else. If you buy refurb directly from Apple, you can buy AppleCare on it.

Are Refurbished Electronics a Smart Choice?
I’ve started to pet much buy seconds hand tech. Tech depreciates a lot fast so it’s frugal in the sense. And you can get really good deals in it. The only cost of buying old tech is longevity. For example let’s say an iPhone has a life for 4 years. You can buy refurbed iPhone 15 pro for like 700 usd and an iPhone 16 pro new for 1000 usd. You save 300 usd and that will run great the next three years whereas the 16 would run great for 4 years. So your paying less to have a phone each year if that makes sense?

What is the best laptop brand for long term use?
So first off, electronics and especially computers aren’t BIFL. Core components will often become obsolete sooner than they actually reach the end of their usable lifespan, making it more practical to replace them than to repair them. If our criteria is using one laptop for as long as possible before replacement, Apple is the clear choice. After a higher up-front cost, an M-chip Air or Pro can offer 5-7 years of upper-tier performance and easy serviceability through Apple Stores or certified third parties. When you’re ready to upgrade, Macbooks consistently retain more of their value on the used market than any other brand, so you’ll pay less out of pocket for your next one. Source: used XPS and Lenovo thinkpads professionally for years before switching to Macbooks.

What is the best laptop brand for long term use?
Windows is getting more bloated by the day with the AI features and built-in spyware, do yourself a favor and make the switch to Mac. If all you do is check your email and watch Netflix, an Air is pretty affordable and will last as long as you don't try to use it as a workhorse. If you're a heavy user (graphic/audio/video editing, 3d work, gaming, etc) the fans on a Pro provide good longevity.
