In my experience if Windows decides it doesn't want to talk to your hardware because of some undecipherable 20 year old spaghetticode reason, You've no recourse except reinstalling Windows and it might suddenly work. At least with Linux you can debug and get things working

My bank only has an app, no website option, but luckily it works just fine on GrapheneOS with no Google Play. I barely use it anyway as I pay cash everywhere possible

This is one thing the UK is really good for, all bank owned ATMs and most public ones are completely free to use for any cardholder of any bank. My bank doesn't even have physical branches but I can still use the ATM of any bank lobby for free. There are some paid ones run by private companies but the fee is usually a flat £1-2 max. I've been to ATMs in Europe that have tried to charge me something like 10EUR to take out 30.

It's a private contract between the business and the customer, you are supposed to ensure you have means to pay beforehand.

I'm interested in this, I did buy a small amount but struggling to spend it anywhere? Even when I bought a Trezor hardware wallet I had to use LTC... I know I can pay for Mullvad with it when my subscription expires in two years lol

I also can't find any no-KYC place to buy it now LocalMonero is closed.

They use mobile data over here so it can be very slow in spotty areas, but most populated areas in the UK have full 4G/5G.

Invidious will show you related videos to the one you're watching but not the suggested tab of YouTube. I see it as a good thing though, I really don't need another black box algorithm controlling me.

I really want to buy a Fairphone but even the new one would be a downgrade from my P7Pro at a high price.

Hoping they can make the next one a bit more competitive with current flagships.

This is where the physical write protect notch on SD cards would be useful.

My phone that has no connection, or any USB A / C device that's around? Not saying its likely
