Canadians also use “cheque”, but I’ve got a foot in both countries. Consider me your Bri’ish/'murican translator.

I’ve had others correct me the other direction (specifically decrying the use of “refund” because it wasn’t money owed in the first place). At some point it’s just semantics.

I’m aware, I was simply translating for our colleague across the pond.

You might be getting the wrong idea. We have tax withholding on our paychecks, same idea. Then when you file your taxes, you either send a cheque (if your withholding was less than you owed) or you get a return (if your withholding was more than you owed).

I had looked at those, but the hat alone is over $70. Plus they need an RPi5, because earlier ones don’t have a PCIe interface. For that much, I could get a Beelink or something similar.

The hat is a cool idea, though.

I hadn’t looked at any ODROID stuff, and the HC4 is a cool looking solution! I’m actually even more impressed with the M1S, which has a built-in M.2 slot. Can’t use my existing spinny drives, but for the price of the M1S, I could pick up an NVMe drive to go with it.

A SBC with SATA ports, to use as a Plex server. I’ve only ever found one (the Zimaboard), but it’s a bit pricey for something that I’d still have to find some way to house with an external HDD.

Beelink Mini PCs or ones like that, plus a wireless keyboard/trackpad combo.

If everywhere you go smells like shit, check your shoe.

I did, but I already paid for two years (plus did a bunch of work to migrate files over). So I’ll be here for a bit.

I switched to Proton about 6 months ago.

Wish I had waited. Ah well.
