You’re right, but it does still work.

Downloading music from YouTube will get you MP3s, but they will have gone through the YT compression algorithms.
Use Deemix instead. Downloads MP3s straight from the Deezer servers with all metadata and album art.
Dry roasted edamame. High on fiber and protein without being super caloric. Perfect for feeling full without having to eat too much.
My parents bought me My Neighbor Totoro when I was a kid. I absolutely loved every second of it. Then I came across Ranma 1/2. Next came Kiki’s Delivery Service. It kind of snowballed after that.

Pets are not investments. They are friends and family. Sometimes you’ll do anything possible to save them, even if it’s spending a ton of money.
Everyone else has described the complications that a Mac mini would have. So why not consider something else? Lenovo, HP, and Dell make 1l ultra small form factor PCs and they’re pretty cheap on eBay. They’re also low power. Search for Tiny Mini Micro to find information.
I have three Lenovo Thinkcentre machines - two with 32gb RAM and one with 64gb RAM - running my Proxmox VE cluster. Highly recommend using those small machines instead of a Mac mini.
Hike the entirety of the AT and the PCT.
Go bikepacking more frequently. Or go on a months long trip.
Make art - photography, digital art, linocut.
Help friends and family with projects.
That’s the short version. There are so many possibilities once you remove the need to be tied to a job/computer for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I would love to have the freedom to simply not work. I don’t want to be rich, I just want to be able to exist without having to work.
Huh, TIL. It’s still working just fine, so I’ll keep using it. Guess there won’t be any updates though.
There’s a Linux install of Teams. I’ve never tried it on Debian but it works fine in Ubuntu. Use it for work every day.
If purchasing something doesn’t mean you own it, then piracy isn’t theft.
Exactly. This is a terrible idea. I’m fairly certain that anyone caught doing this would be immediately fired at some companies.
Hah, no. The only time people think of us sysadmins is when something is broken.
Risking sounding like a broken record, I always suggest Tiny/Mini/Micro 1L form factor office PCs. Lenovo, Dell, and HP all create ultra small office PCs that make great low power servers. A Pi will use 5-9w at idle, while these PCs will use 11-13w idle. They also use more standard components such as NVME drives, 2.5" drives, and replaceable RAM. Easy to find under $100 USD used, I’m sure you can find them under 100 euro.
Scion was only available in the US and Canada. The same cars were available as Toyotas in a bunch of other countries though. They just have a lower resale value here in the US because of the “brand”.
Consider looking at Scions - they are Toyotas, just with a different badge. They are way cheaper and still incredibly reliable.
Exceptions: Scion FR-S is a Subaru engine. Scion iA is a rebadged Mazda.
I think it’s a bleedover from car culture - you keep your fun car in the garage and have a second car that you’re okay with driving daily. Especially so during winter.
Look up 1L mini PCs - Dell, Lenovo, and HP have similar one liter mini PCs that would’ve been used as a lightweight frontend in offices. They are easy to find on eBay and can be pretty cheap.
For example, my lab at home consists of three Lenovo Thinkcentre tiny machines. I bought them off eBay for $60-80 USD. They each came with a 500gb HDD and 8gb RAM. I have since upgraded them all to a 500gb NVME, 500gb SSD (they have a 2.5" drive bay), and 32gb of RAM. They run as a Proxmox VE cluster.
I think I might have $500 USD into the entire setup, including my 10" wide rack enclosure.
I personally don’t think e-readers have improved drastically. I also have a 3rd gen Kindle keyboard and recently went through updating all the unlocks and screensavers I set up more than a decade ago.
While I was going through that it got me started thinking about them again. The only thing I think would be a big improvement is a light and more storage. I would also like to read manga on it. For those reasons I’m currently considering buying a Barnes and Noble Nook Glowlight 4 (or Plus) since it runs Android and you can install custom apps (like Tachiyomi for manga reading).
If your current Kindle is still doing the job and you don’t find it lacking, I don’t think you’re missing out by not upgrading.
That’s okay, it had to be done.
