European Parliament wants more durable products in the EU<\/h3>\n

\"\"European Parliament approved recommendations for hardware companies to make stuff like laptops and cell phones easier to fix, as well as have longer lifespans.\u00a0The recommendations included creating an EU-wide definition of „planned obsolescence,” or the practice of deliberately creating a device to have a short lifespan, so you’re forced to buy a new one sooner than you’d like. The recommendations also suggest a system should be put in place for testing whether a device has „built-in obsolescence.” The European Parliament additionally wants a „voluntary European label” to be considered, which would list a product’s durability, upgradeability, and environmental sustainability<\/p>\n

Amazon’s product stories<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Amazon Spark is a new feature aimed at improving product discovery, which is seemingly inspired by Instagram and its use of shoppable photos. To get started with Amazon Spark, you have to use the Amazon mobile app, as the feature is not designed for desktop use at this time. You\u2019re asked to select at least five interests you want to follow. Using this information, Amazon Spark will create a customized feed of products, imagery and ideas that will relate to the sort of things you like to shop for, or learn more about.\u00a0Once you\u2019ve completed the setup, you\u2019ll be presented with an image-heavy feed of product ideas and other stories. In some cases, these posts will read more like a product review \u2013 someone detailing their personal experience with an item, for example.<\/p>\n
