Hello fellow redditors, I recently celebrated my 25th birthday by taking a trip to the US (Las Vegas), and somehow won a fair share of money. I intend to invest around 85% of this money, and spend the remaining 15% on my dream computer. I can already afford this computer but I hate spending my money which is the reason this is the only time i will ever consider making a purchase such as this in my life.

Anyways, here is my parts list, feel free to give me suggestions about what to keep and what to change/remove, as I haven't ordered anything yet (Wanted to get opinions from others first!):

preferably $30-40.
Must be able to run roblox 24/7 (lowest settings, all vfx off)
External fans + smart plugs will be used (to prevent risk of battery swelling)

4 possible Locations:

Loc 1 - USA (FL, east side (miami, fort lauderdale, orlando, etc.)
Loc 2 - France (Preferable between paris and tours)
Loc 3 - Turkiye (Izmir and/or Istanbul)
Loc 4 - UAE, any city is fine

Current Top contenders:

1. Motorola Moto G (2025) - $29.99
   Specs: -4gb ram (up to 12gb with ram boost)
   -64gb storage
   -5000 mAh battery
   -MediaTek Dimensity 6300
   -120hz display (doesn't matter as I will be controlling from pc)

2. Motorola Moto G Play (2026) - $39.99
   Specs: -4gb ram (up to 12gb with ram boost)
   -64gb storage
   -5200 mAh battery
   -MediaTek Dimensity 6300
   -120hz display (as i said, doesn't really matter)
   Basically only diff with n1 and n2 is the slightly bigger battery size and android 15 vs android 16

also was looking at the A16 but its just more expensive (50$) for basically the same, if not worse specs than the G 2025.

Also, these phones are cheap because they are carrier locked, but idrc about carrier as i will be using wifi on them with proxies. You are free to reccomend carrier locked phones as long as they are prepaid and do NOT require me to activate a plan to use it and connect to wifi (ik verizon does that). Also fine with buying secondhand or chinese phones (as long as theres no malware), as i said before the only goal is for them to run roblox. (this is because im paying like $100+ /yr PER PHONE for cloud phone services and i've burned too much money 😭)

idrc about companies selling my data on the black market, as long as theres no keyloggers or malware installed on the phone

Any suggestions?

Hey there, Idk if this is just for me so I wanted to know if it was bugging out for you guys too. I've been using proton paid for abt a year now as its one of the only vpns that work in Turkiye. But for the past 20-30 mins, its been disconnecting after 5s, and it just doesn't work AT ALL.

I attached a video so you guys can see whats happening:

PS: I was unable to make a support ticket as protonvpn website is blocked here and I cannot make a ticket if the vpn doesn't work
