So do your best to keep your current equipment in tip top shape, learn how to solder, learn electrical schematics, learn how to replace components on a circuit board and NEVER throw away a broken electronic anymore.

2026 and on might be a way for repair to come back strong, but at the same time, we can't repair without parts, so it's a double edged sword. SSD's only have a 5-10 year life span, so we are ALL screwed and i'm really hoping my new NVME SSD's last a decade.

All gaming consoles and PC's are doomed for the next decade, so hopefully everyone has books, retro consoles, and physical media to consume when their gaming equipment dies as it eventually will in that time frame.
