I get asbestos, but all their devices use plastic, and they encourage you to buy new ones every year.

How is that tied to Asbestos?

It's not. I'm saying it makes sense that they don't use asbestos.

But also, i don't know where the asbestos and plastic came from. I was talking about AI in my comment. 🤷‍♂️

There are many industries that have done worse in terms of exposing us to microplastics than the tech bros. Not saying the filling up of landfill with plastic e-waste isn't bad, but their effects are no where near as catastrophic as other industry's wide use of plastics. For example, plastic food packaging, Teflon coated pans, etc.
