Cant take more than 2-3 months to move Terbium mining to Ohio.

I'd rather go out of my way to avoid buying anything from the US, which is exactly what I have started doing.

I am sorely tempted, but its unlikely my banking apps and very specific work 2fa app is anything but Apple and Android compatible. I am almost at the stage of getting a second phone for day to day, and keeping my old for specific apps

I was curious about the ecotank machines for the cheap ink, I will do more research.

I did update the firmware because it wouldn't connect to my WiFi.

When I checked, the toner I swapped in was from 2019, and the chip had a battery soldered on, so maybe the battery was dead?

But I am also expecting a level of enshitification as their firmware was bricking machines using third party ink.

But real toner is expensive!

I really wanted a Pebble when they first came out, and then REALLY wanted one when they were selling for next to nothing when FitBit bought the company.

I love a smart watch, but hate the daily charging. Im currently wearing a fossil hybrid which has an eink screen under the hands, and I love that it lasts 30 days on a charge, but wish it did more.

So I ordered a Core 2 Duo. I might still cancel the order before December, but no other watch does what I want, and this is the closest.
