The biggest crime is in my opinion that Android as an OS was made without allowing the user root access unless they jump through a bunch of hoops. Even if it comes at the cost of a bricked phone, kids should be allowed to experiment with their devices.

Also, from my experience basic graphic design is the newest version of this. The amount of praise I get for understanding basic color theory, as well as not to use JPGs, or Comic Sans for everything is wild.

Take a guess on why people still complain about RAM in the current days of 16Gb being one of the cheapest options

Partially yeah, but atleast Google Drive and Onedrive still have folders to sort and share more than one file, which sometimes gets the kids to actually use those features.

What also killed the basic understanding of PCs, is the way in which everything is now done "in-Browser". No longer do you need to open Word to edit a document, nor do you need to open Photoshop. It's all done in the browser, and if you want to simply "save" a document, well, just don't close the tab and you're golden.

Tbh you can absolutely go "budget" with a VR setup if you want. Joy cons, a Google Cardboard headset and Riftcat (debatable, haven't checked the scene in a while), are the only things you need to pay for. There are drivers to have Joycons be interpreted as VR controllers, and voila you got yourself a cobbled together VR setup.

I've heard they do it sometimes for high risk customers. Though they might have stopped some years ago

The only one in a similar price range that comes to mind is ovhcloud.com, they are a france based company, still not ideal though, as they might require ID.

If money is the biggest factor (which I guess it is), best thing for you to do, might be to move your storage box off of the german servers and onto the finnish servers.

Can't help you, but I have to ask, why Hetzner?

They are a german server hosting company, you know, the country with some of the strictest copyright laws? For example, a kid at an old school of mine was once fined 800€ for accidentally sharing a song on a school hosted messaging board.

If you do anything with pirated torrenting on their servers, they will know, and will come after your ass. And even sharing pirated content can get you in incredibly hot water, they might not have found out yet, but when they do, good luck.

We can't forget that apart from inflation, cost of living has also greatly increased. For example rent has nearly doubled since 2005, as such I advocate for $62 as the new "not gay" standard
