  • I found M ITX on eBay for cheap $50, the ad said used mobo (10 available), but it arrived absolutely factor clean and had CPU cover on, etc. I assume old stock rather than used?? And found a CPU for $40. Monsterlabo fanless case cost me the most at $200

  • Pretty much the requirement for my wife. She really struggled with inconsistency of Windows and how slow it responded. Move to Linux, and she runs it fine with no more complaints, she just wants it identical after a version upgrade or if there is a reinstall ever needed. So for her I went with NixOS and have her config files stored for later.

  • Use an email relay, and don't enter many personal details. While this stuff is invisible to general users, marketers can purchase a paid linked in that allows gleaning that data and making call lists, so it will have your name, email, phone number, job description etc. This is fine if you hope somebody calls you for a job, but it also gets in the wrong hands and you get spam on your phone and email
