I honestly regret buying my gaming laptop. I barely use it since I don't have space in my room, so I need to attach it to the TV, every time I need to use, move my series X and unplug it... And I need a wired controller. Then, there's always a pesky update, drivers, stuff... When I'm playing on my X I don't have to worry about any of that, is more of a hassle to use (the laptop).

Ngl I basically bought it because I wanted to play Spiderman and other not available games on Xbox but even like that the regret is there.

Do you know how your email account got hacked?

I don't understand how this happens to people.

So, a hosting provider which I used to rent vps‘ses at, got hacked and leaked data(Adress,name,payment method,phone numbers). A lot. And then from there… my email provider is old and cheap. No 2fa nessecary and the password was old and simple. Additionally while the gaming accounts were gone, my PayPal n banking have been untouched.

But also … I also bought a new Chinese keyboard a few months ago and I can’t get rid of the small and probably unjust fear that there might be a keylogger in there. Would fit the timeline though.
