Honestly, it'd just go to stuff I need for the house. There's a lot of canning stuff I want but I need to import it from the US (pressure canning isn't a thing here in Japan and even water-bath canning is super rare so supplies are sparse and expensive). I'd also get a chainsaw and wood chipper. I would pay someone to do a full tune-up on my tractor and maybe get a mower attachment. Anything else, I'd basically put in the account that I use to pay my mortgage and for any home expenses.

I basically do farming at the level of a second job, so I suppose it would be that even though I don't do it commercially (yet).

If your equipment is being squished, your surface may not have enough give.

31 @ 60% here at the moment, but it's a fairly cloudy and mild day. Tomorrow is supposed to get up to 35 with high humidity at least in the morning.

I have a pixel watch I bought around its launch (IIRC) and it's still going fine today. The only issue I've had is, since starting farming, the little dial can gum up a bit, but it can be cleaned.

Yes but also no as Steve von Trig discovered it a thousand years before and of course gets none of the credit.

I never learnt them and don't remember seeing them, but that's neat :)

If the blue pick is a broken toaster oven, I'm still voting for it rather than tump

What, you don't place a wrench in the middle of all your communications for safety? heh, I shouldn't post whilst tired.

Good News! Unless something has changed since I worked in healthcare IT, those systems are far too old to be impacted!

I'm half-joking. I don't know what that kind of equipment runs, but I would guess something embedded. The nuke-med stuff was mostly linux and various lab analyzers were also something embedded though they interface with all sorts of things (which can very well be windows). Pharmaceutical dispensers ran various linux-like OS's (though I couldn't even tell you the names anymore). Some medical records stuff was also proprietary, but Windows was replacing most of it near the end of my time.

One place we had ran their keycard system all on a windows 3.1 box still. I don't doubt some modern systems also are running on Windows which has interesting implications for getting into/out of places.

That said, a lot of that stuff doesn't touch the outside internet at all unless someone has done something horribly wrong. Medical records systems often do, though (including for billing and insurance stuff).

About 10 years ago, I moved to Japan and don't regret it. The only real downsides are that my family is on the other side of the world and the yen is doing poorly against the dollar. Well, that and being a US citizen trying to do something silly like use Japanese retirement vehicles outside of pension (iDECO and NISA) is basically impossible because everything is considered a PFIC by the US, but that's true of many things in other countries as a US citizen.
