A few years ago, the Ball corporation released their aluminum take on the standard "solo cup." I bought some, and have one in use here on my desk that I've probably used ~200 times. Eventually I'll recycle it & start using another.
In bulk they're down to $0.44 each.

Why are you doing clock checks, Affinity? (adds dumb steps to running Affinity in a VM)
Why does your *free* app still require login (and therefore tracking)?

Reading about available mods for this old friend. Think SSD upgrade and battery refresh should both be possible with this model.

It's quiet at the moment, but these days keeping the three USGS Kilauea cameras open in tabs for periodic checking is a thing that pays off.
