I'm honestly not worried. My laptop battery is at ~70% health, same for phone. It's not great but it's enough to be useful.

Hopefully current companies failing, and yes closing down, might in fact be the opportunity for new companies focusing precisely on different dimension, namely repairability rather than top specs. I have in mind MNT, Pine64, Librem, FairPhone, or projects like LiFePO4wered/Pi+ or battery adapters.

There are new actors that are not computer manufacturers but precisely reconsider the value chain instead of solely focusing on higher specs.
