Stuff like a pretty case with slots for optical drives, a laptop with a shitton of ports and all-day battery life or anything else that seems to go against the trends.

This thread is for complaining about how you can’t find it and (maybe) finding it thanks to someone else.

      Only thing I could figure out (except maybe looking into Chinese payments systems which… No. Just no) is Garmin Pay.

      Once set up, works with the smartwatch and does not use the phone, or the internet, at all.

      I know it’s not exactly what you asked, but its what I managed to do. Garmin watches also work pretty great with Gadgetbridge :-)

          Do bear in mind that not all banks and/or cards are supported. Out of my 6 payment cards, over 3 banks (I know, ridiculous), only 3 are compatible. One bank is not compatible at all, the other one supports the debit card on Garmin Pay but not the credit card.

          I knew that before hand. Garmin has a list… Somewhere.

      but that depends on the vendor. highest chance to do it is with Monero, even considering that basically no one knows it
