civilization hath limited resources.
therefore manufactureth things specifically so they breaketh sooner.
horatio why
so people buyeth replacements
what if the old thing still worketh
release an update
what if it surviveth the update
change the connector
what if the owner repair it
void the warranty
what if the owner is content
marketing shall explaineth the improved beige
horatio looketh at a perfectly good object
progress looketh back and issueth an incompatibility warning
