Then it's something else, the power supply or the motherboard (I assume it's a desktop computer) and maybe a professional should do diagnostics and determine what the problem is. I also have only 8 GB of RAM, but even when I open two browsers with a dozen tabs and everything else running in the background, I have no problems with slow work or freezing.

It's a 5 year old laptop which originally belonged to one of my relatives. But yes it's quite old. And trying to fix this might make it worst. So I rather use it how it is, until, I earn can effort to buy a new gig. I don't store anything important, so there is nothing to worry.

That was my intention, and you are the first to notice it in a positive sense. It seems to me that some others think that it is not right to minimize their words, but everyone has their own opinion.

I think it's totally acceptable. Since you mentioned me and resized my text, I already knew what I wrote previously. It's not that you are quoting a very old post of mine. So if it's a recent post, then yes, why not?

One place where it should be avoided, (in my opinion), is on hot topics. Because ohers might want to read all the comments there. So, making texts small might make their eyes sore. But if it is a topic like mine, where fewer comments are being made, then resizing is understable.

Another place is where a user is giving technical help or a suggestion. Apart from that, if it's a casual comment, I might resize it to my preference.

I'm one of those who don't want used things, no matter how well-maintained and in good condition they are. I like to buy new devices that have a guarantee and service provided in case there is a need for the same. I assume that there are such laptops in my environment as well, but I have never paid attention to such things.

Unfortunately, not all can effort to buy brand new devices.

It's best to triple-check when you are transacting because you can never know what you are infected with or something. It's still better to have a hardware wallet so you can check the address being sent to on the physical hardware.

Having to reformat so many times is really tiresome and still unassured that you have actually deleted that virus. Be careful.

Where I live, crypto is banned. That's why buying a hardware wallet and shipping it (clearing customs) to my place, can be quite risky. I could face legal issues. Not worth the risk.

It is. It totally wasted half of my days, downloading 6GB windows ISO (Slow Internet speed), making a bootable pendrive, reformatting, reinstalling, updating drivers and so on. Such a headache.
