Have you done anything you're proud of lately? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I bought a Pentium II 450Mhz Dell tower for $40 at a flea market recently. It was in great condition except for missing a hard drive. Installed a 32gb ssd with a SATA to IDE converter kit and installed Windows 98. It works! This was my first time doing something like this.

Looking for a good graphics card now. I want a VooDoo 2 but those are like $300 on ebay.

Is gold investing a scam? (lemmy.world)
 

I know people out there who have invested a lot in gold under the belief that in the event of like complete societal collapse or hyperinflation, they could use it for purchasing.

I have the hunch it's a scam, but I haven't learned enough monetary theory, business, or economics to understand why.

I often take the wallet off so I can wirelessly charge the phone, and occasionally I'll lose the wallet that way.

AirTags. I have 7. One for my keys, a Find My compatible third party card shaped one for my MagSafe wallet (also third party), one for my second wallet, and the rest for my bags and suitcases. They have saved me so many times.
