What's something people should buy today instead of tomorrow? (lemmy.ml)

Anybody know of anything else that would be quite wise to purchase sooner than later, due to potential (or incoming) regulation that would be regarded as privacy-infringing to enforce? I was thinking about this because I've been pondering a high-quality 3D printer purchase for this reason.

Advice for varying levels of budget would be quite nice, too; I partially intend on this being a post people may want to revisit.

Nothing you can buy can save you if a law is passed prohibiting it. They’ll outlaw possession/usage too.

People should start protesting today instead of waiting for things to get worse.

You are absolutely correct about the second part. But the first? Ehh... out of sight out of mind, lol
