Battery replacement is an issue, but is easily solved with good design. I don’t need the thinnest phone that’s difficult to hold, a few extra mm won’t affect my life negatively. I’d rather have something usable and maintainable.

My biggest gripe however is the built in obsolesce of software support life. Perfectly good electronics are rendered useless by the system not receiving software / security updates after a couple of years.

My problem with ‘likes’ is that it’s so context dependent. My favourite colour depends on whether we’re taking about paint for the walls, a car, a new jumper or the colour of my finger.

It’s the same as for music, my favorite depends on if I’m working, driving, relaxing or wanting to destroy something.

I really don’t understand how people can have ‘one’ favorite and stick to it.

On the excitement front, yeah, I don’t get people jumping around with joy unless they’re a 6 year old getting birthday cake… But then I’m British, and we don’t do that sort of thing. (Edited for typo twice!)
