Primarily, that would be cash.

pieces of paper is certainly better than bank database entries, but it's still fundamentally the same game: you need to work for something that they can print.

A few months ago I bought a scam CPU along with a working computer. The CPU is almost identical in performance to the one they were advertising —it was certainly malicious— but do I deserve $200 for something I didn't even care about in the first place? There an argument to be made for harming the criminals even if you deserve it but it just doesn't vibe with my type.

If it's identical in performance, in what way is it a scam?

It had a slightly narrower cache.

My Nokia 105 has 4G (as well as 3G and 2G) and is definitely not a smartphone and absolutely not an Android. It runs S30+. What do you mean by: > support for VoLTE Emergency

If it can't call 911 you're not allowed to sell it as a phone. Phone calls use VoLTE which is newish technology. Therefore it's illegal to sell older technology as a phone.

Allowed or not, if you bought your phone before the regulations were in place you'd still have no connection on some models, even 4G phones

I wish it were that easy. But you get constantly flagged, questioned and banned from things if you don't play the traditional banking rules. I am trying, that's why I know

You do not get banned from things for paying cash.
