I would buy cheap electronic parts to build something like a Risc-v handheld(or PDA) computer to replace a smartphone with easily replaceable parts. This might help me figure out how to work with mipi dsi displays and how to write drivers for them. :) And besides that, I would stock up on canned food and maybe a solar panel capable of charging a laptop, for example.

It’s not much money, but in Russia I could live decently for ~3.5 years with that kind of money. :)

Maybe Touchpad is interesting but the low-profile switches and the overall design are questionable to me.

I’ve met quite a few people who say that although there were disadvantages, on average it was ok to live in Soviet Union after the 60s. If you asked around in Russia, there would even be those who praised it. Because there were some advantages like not bad free education and free medicine, for example. In some good times, you could even get a free apartment or a piece of land. And now, under capitalism, it is very difficult to earn an apartment in the most developed cities.

And it also causes addiction in some unstable people.
