[QUOTE="Ryccardo, post: 9267255, member: 361367"] In general I am not a fan of the direction the modern tech industry is going (in fact I bought a top notch 2010 laptop in 2018 and I am sure as hell not changing it until it's totaled, you can't get anything with comparable build quality for 180 € for sure) AND I don't have the time I had as a teen to try two operating systems a week so I may be biased, but: I can't find any Linux distro I would use for more than a week - despite Devuan being the #1 candidate, there just isn't any direct alternative to Paint.net (Pinta, which aims to be a clone, isn't one on the basis of gross instability and different features) and of course all the closed source programs for console modding and assorted chinesium gadgets... [USER=130770]@Flame[/USER] Apple stuff... Yep, as an owner of two iPods (a Mini 2G and a Video 5G) I can say that there are, in fact, good alternatives to iTunes (for music at least, a little less for videos and pretty much nothing for photos, but none of them are as intuitive as "the real deal" As for the examples in OP, I actually have changed multiple times between all three major smartphone OSes - not a big deal (have some paid apps for each, but only Apple has ever got money from me - the others were credit from a legitimate sponsored-surveys-for-digital-money site - and even then less than 25 € total), if anything it has proven that the winner in format wars never is the technically superior one :( Drill batteries - also not a big deal, we've owned one 2004-2012, and a different brand 2015-today, for a grand total of two batteries (now if we were takling laptops...!) I was definitely amused by a friend with a Makita boombox that of course takes Makita batteries, though! I technically still have two 3DS-compatible consoles, but haven't actually played with any of them for two years! [/QUOTE]

I setup a Bitcoin wallet yesterday, and good thing it wasnt with an exchange unlike those beginner crypto normies. The wallet is for my website, as I need to move it to a custom domain at some point.

@Xdqwerty
, Custom domain will be linked to NeoCities. And just in case NeoCities shuts down, I'll move my site pages to the registrar.

Bitcoin isn't recommended for sending less than $500 because there's an additional fee involved for every transaction.
