I was walking through a 1920s house renovation in Cincinnati and saw the original trim work. The miter joints were still tight after a hundred years.

That's the kind of quality you just don't see anymore.

Wasn't there a study about planned obsolescence in appliances?

I get what you mean but honestly my new washer is way better than the old one my parents had. It uses less water and energy, and the clothes come out cleaner. Sure some stuff breaks faster, but a lot of modern appliances are actually more reliable for the first few years. They just have more complex parts that can fail, which makes them seem worse.
