    By looking at it the wrong way - electronics were unreliable junk until the late 1990s as a whole and any delusion that 'things aren't built to last these days' is 100% down to survival bias and nothing else - old electronics were junk compared to anything modern. Even Aldi/Lidl kit these days is better than high end kit in the past.
