I often hear, "You should never cheap out on a good office chair, shoes, underpants, backpack etc.." but what are some items that you would feel OK to cheap out on?

This can by anything from items such as: expensive clothing brands to general groceries.

Unlike the good ol' malwares that let you know that you're infected by deleting your files or messing up your system, modern malware authors are profit-oriented and will do everything they can to make you unaware that your devices are infected. Then they'll exfiltrate your data and sell them on various underground marketplace such as this one.

Definitely. If you know your device is infected then someone drastically messed up. The new stuff isn't like the old stuff.
