SO was thinking about buying a (edit: [insert “new”]) car this year, yeah… that’s not happening.
bike time
Also harder to track you (assuming you turn off all the radios on your phone). No license plates needed, so there no identifier to track, and in addition you can avoid major roads that have CCTV. You can go protesting while remaining anonymous. (But if you are protesting, the better thing is don't bring phones. Bring a camera)
Materials for a home renovation project. I should have bought it all long ago, but better late than never.
Popcorn.
Might get an SSD for my laptop. Resisting new computer. Must ... resist...
Stay strong. The one you have now works well enough. Nothing broken, nothing needs to be replaced.
You can always get used parts in 3-6 months when the economy really crashes and people start losing their jobs. (God, I hope I'm wrong)
Am six months away from my four year cycle of a new iPhone. Bit the bullet last night on a current model while the carrier still offering top dollar for trade-in, and there are no tariffs.
I had some DYI hackable computer kits (ClockworkPI) that I orderd last year, both of them arrived in the last few weeks. Im very glad they made it through customs before most of this shit gets enacted.
