> Because there’s no way a $50-100 coffee machine or printer is lasting a decade.
There absolutely is.
Viz. the no-name drip machine I picked up at Goodwill for $10 and is probably older than me. The heating element makes the water boil, and it trickles over the grounds and becomes my morning salvation.
Viz. the Brother laser printer ca. 2013 for $99 (in, admittedly, 2013 dollars). I had to replace the toner once, it was slightly annoying.
Neither of these items has an app.
Longevity ≈ Quality / Complexity
where Quality ≠ Price
