They are not being manufactured anymore but it is still possible to buy new old stock. One guy is trying to keep them in circulation (he owns floppydisk.com) and I found a somewhat recent article that has some good info as well: www.raconteur.net/…/the-floppygeddon-cometh
Yes. As time goes on, old equipment continues to fail or get recycled so less of it is available, and there are still people interested for numerous reasons. The CT1350 sells for around $70+ USD on eBay at the moment. 486 hardware is getting more desirable.
Or this one maybe, the only model I can find is t746.fr but I’m pretty sure this case design was available in other European countries.
Other cards like Care Credit may offer no interest for a period of time (Best Buy’s Citi card only offers that for Best Buy purchases). Best Buy also used to have two cards, one was a store card that could only be used at Best Buy, and the other one the Citi card. Not sure if the store card is still offered.
Desktop Outlook stopped working too, it’d show a send/receive error or “disconnected”. Seemed to be resolved around 3:36PM Central.
The micro/tiny form factor PCs generally only have space for a 2.5" drive, while the SFF/desktop size PCs can fit at least one 3.5" drive.

Still holding onto the audio jack. My last few phones are the HTC 10 (2016), Galaxy S10e (2019) and Xperia 1 V (got it last year). I commute to work daily and my car has an audio jack, CD player, and PC card slot for playing audio. I’m avoiding adapters for multiple reasons - others here mentioning static, and annoyance/inconvenience (want to be able to charge my phone when needed without more dongles). I held off on giving up a physical keyboard and getting a larger phone but eventually gave in on those. Also not giving up the microSD slot.
Here’s one for the Genesis/Mega Drive: segaretro.org/Wacky_Worlds
