My phone and my phone plan. Haven't been that happy with it lately, but there's no need for me to buy a new one yet.

Thanks π₯Ί
Starlink, mostly because of Musk being Musk, but also because the replacement schedule of the satellites is against what I would prefer for a more sustainable service. Yeah I am well aware of why they replace them that often but I would rather they didn't.
I only use the service as I travel in a RV a lot, 4g/5g just cannot compete for high speed internet in the middle of nowhere or even the middle of somewhere, and that's with a proper roof mounted and powerful external aerial. Cost vs. Other mobile satellite services starlink is just massively cheaper for large amounts of data. It seems expensive compared to 4g or 5g but it really isn't when compared to satellite services.
My motorcycle.
It was bought due to a necessity.
I didn't quite get the motorcycle I was looking for, and had to settle for this one from a different manufacturer. During the short test ride the problems were not glaring, it was when I rode it for a somewhat long duration that I came to know how bad it was. What's worse is things changed and my necessity to need a personal mode of transport was eliminated, so I barely need to use it daily anymore. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Tried getting a few modifications done to make it a more comfortable ride, and while it's better than stock now it's still not where I need it to be.
Google drive/docs. I haven't found an actually good alternative (yet) so...
You wonβt have the same look and feel but https://cryptpad.fr/ sometimes works for me. This or a nextcloud instance.

Proton drive is okay but if you rely on editing the docs online... That's a rough one

Fucking Costco. Pay a membership fee to wait in the following lines to buy shit:
Parking, cart, entry, items, pay, receipt check, leave parking. You can't simple stop by for an item, its impossible..

Cars. There is no direct bus to the grocery store from my apartment, so it's way easier to drive than get on 1 bus, transfer to a different line and then go there.
windows. literally the only thing i use it for is valorant. the second they let us play valorant on linux or mac, iβm gone
(inb4 chinese rootkit boogeyman, i donβt care)
One major issue with Linux gaming is anti cheat that actually secures the client. Things like eac or vac have to cripple their client side protections on Linux because they can't put in a kernel level module that can't be replaced by anyone else. On Windows those kernel level modules are signed by Microsoft which then makes it extremely tough to break on that level.
This is likely a reason why you won't see valorant on Linux.

My country's healthcare system
Every console I've ever had. I have a lot of games I like on the Gamecube, Nintendo Switch, Gameboy, etc. but all the games felt misplaced on the consoles that had to be used to play them. The only exception to this and the only one I ever genuinely liked was the Wii U, but Nintendo did a trash job with it and it really messed up how I was able to go about games in the future, since they made the Nintendo Switch overlap with the Wii U in terms of console generation.
