Hmm, this shouldn't affect me, as my Win 7 Pro key is now a Win 10 Pro key, right?

Damn, that's a lot of keys! Lucky alright. Do you use them all at once though? o_O That's a lot of computers.
I'm really not sure why you're arguing with me, and where you're going with this? I feel like you expect me to denounce Amazon and give up all ecommerce platforms, is that what you expect me to do?
Sounds good, maybe I can start with the Pi 4 then!
Just in time when I was reading about Home Assistant. Either I can get a couple of these to play with, or I just find an older Pi 4 for cheaper (and easier availability).
Competition is far fiercer here, they have to contend with Alibaba-backed platforms as well. I also have access to Taobao. It's not going to be as straightforward as it is in the USA.
Absolute tosh, it's an Android phone at the end of the day.
I know right? And the returns and refunds are a revelation in Asia, where it's usually the buy-it-and-it's-your-problem attitude.
Don't own my current home, so am only looking to do so when I move. Though I'll take your advice on experimenting and learning, so I'll have a better of idea what to expect/to do when that day comes. Think Pi4s aren't too expensive to get and muck around with.
Tangentially related to this, but this is something that should be talk about with legislation more often: Will the new law be enforceable? And at what cost?
As someone in Asia where Amazon is trying to break through the market with stiff ecommerce incumbents, Amazon is great. And more importantly, they know they have no real value selling the generic Chinese stuff that has infiltrated US Amazon, so the amount of that is a lot less. The Chinese stuff on Amazon tends to be from the better companies that have tried to brand themselves and sell decent products (think Anker at the start), otherwise it's usually products from established brands. If I wanted cheap Chinese stuff I have way better and cheaper avenues.
Competition is good, eh?
It's really the Fairphone, you don't have many options.
