PSA: A client's stubborn device has me questioning repair ethics.

Debate: repairing cuts waste but new tech saves energy; which side are you on?

Used to always side with getting new stuff for the better efficiency specs. Then I saw my old laptop, that I traded in for a "greener" model, just get shredded for parts. Felt like such a waste when a simple battery swap would have kept it running for years. Honestly, keeping a device out of the dump has to count for something too.

So what actually happens during those trade-ins anyway?
