What do we even do at this point?

Online banking does not require buying high-end hardware.  But it does unfortunately seem to require newer than Win7 these days.  

In the early 2022, I quit using all online services, I go to physical stores, I pay cash only. I withdraw all money that I get from the military (pension) every month.

I pay with physical papers for the utilities, usually in advance (4-6 months or so). I also refused to install any water counters, so I pay a "normative", which isn't that huge.

By our Glorious French Constitution, no one can enter my house without my explicit permission, and it would be extremely hard anyways, they would have to besiege me with the special ops.

So they had to calculate a median tariff for me.

That's what you all need to do.

A normative water consumption here is about 10 m³ per month per declared resident. That would be enough for taking two showers every day and then some. That is for an apartment without any garden. It is very expensive, especially for municipal hot water. A median or running average is only possible if there have been recent data points, and you've forgotten to hand in a reading once or twice. There are new water meters that have either reporting over radio and/or a limit to how much water they will allow. Since those need to be swapped regularly for accuracy, it can also get expensive, and apartment owners are asked to vote whether to install them or pay extra for lost or stolen water.

Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken gives a numeric signature device for logging in and signing orders. Their website works in New Moon, although with a warning that the browser should be updated.

What not to do? Switching random devices / drivers to MSI mode.

GPUs may do fine in MSI mode, others, it depends.

Thank you, interesting, I don't usually do a lot of reading about Eastern Europe. So, even there it's not worth it, since the modern devices are expensive, and here we mostly got only them, just like you wrote.

Older ones are already rather hard to get, and I'm an active man, I visit the gym frequently, so I take showers frequently, too.
