As stated, my reason is that I was paying Spotify more money for less music and I was unhappy with that. You pointed out yourself that musicians barely get by in the streaming era so I would rather support them on Bandcamp (I know it has it’s own issues) or buying physical media whenever possible rather than pirating. Streaming platforms may make music you want to listen to seemingly affordable and accessible but that’s not the case for everyone. This is my personal experience.

Masking tape + a Sharpie has never failed me

Yes! Access to my files via web browser from any machine without having to install software was what initially drew me in, but it’s replaced almost all the CAD software I’ve tried including Fusion260 and Freecad.

Thanks, I did try most of these during the troubleshooting process and still wasn't able to get it writing again. Back to Amazon it goes and from now on I stick to reputable sellers only (and Aliexpress if I'm feeling adventurous 😜)
