'''Self-destructive design''' is a generic form of product design whereby it is possible that some if not all functions of the device will cease functioning. Self-destructive design can occur unintentionally due to oversights but it can be implemented intentionally. Self-destructive design is split into numerous types: '''discontinuation bricking, digital discontinuation bricking, end-of-life product discontinuation,''' and '''[[planned obsolescence]]'''. All forms of self-destructive design harm consumers in that it reduces product lifetime and increases waste production.

*'''[[Planned obsolescence]]''' is a business strategy where a product is designed in such a way that it will inevitably fail or become obsolete and require replacement with a non-obsolete product.

*[[Whoop]] is a health tracking wristband that measures strain, recovery, and sleep, but without an active subscription it becomes useless.
