Please, no. Manufacturers will use this to force selling us new equipment every 2-3 years. It's a very bad solution.

Manufactureres force you allready to buy new equipment 2-3years, by placing codensators near heatsources and other nice tricks (including the famous printer counter).

"by placing codensators near heatsources"

Oh you mean like every power source is designed today?

There are several engineering reasons to do that, they don't do that to spite people

And it's called capacitor (in the XXI century at least)

In Sweden, we call them "Kondensatorer", i.e using the old form. For me, this causes quite a lot of jumbled/mixing of words, as my friends and I typically switch randomly between English and Swedish versions of component names.

Also, even in English condenser mics still refuse to become cap mics.

Capacitors in automotive ignition systems are still called "condensers" too, for some reason.

Ah fair enough

German too.

Hi there, I'm very interested in your comment. Do you have a link where I could read more about the techniques you've discussed as they pertain to forced obsolescence? Thanks!

I have no direkt link, i just had - lets say a lesson at my university where one the teachers (who shall not be named) mentioned that there is a pretty exact science of statistically averaging the livetime of a capacitator with the heat it experiences during the devices operation. So if you want to extend a devices life, you can desolder some condensators and put them in areas of good Cooling.

Not really, you just don't put enough effort in trying to repair them.
