EU should just slap a 15 years compulsory warranty on all electronics, and they'd magically all become so much better.


I think 15 years is too much given how fast technology is churning.

So I think 15y might slow that down (but maybe that's good? I'm not sure). It would also probably increase prod/maintenance expenses, which would likely just be offloaded to the consumers unfortunately.

I do agree with your sentiment, though. There should be a minimum, and something like 6-8 years seems sensible to me!
