I'm also keenly aware of the impact of creating physical devices. I don't want to just create more e-waste. I want to create things that can truly be owned, repaired, re-used, and re-purposed for as long as possible. I hold in my mind that there is a real moral argument that could be made against creating new hardware at all1, so as I bring precious materials together into new forms I really try to weigh the long-term impact of my creations. This is another reason I choose "withered" technology - it is more easily understood and maintained by others.
