Also some kind of Machinery. "GameMachine" for my Xbox "BigMachine" for my PC "MiniMachine" for my Phone "MicroMachine" for my Pi
Except my small 2-in-1 Laptop. That's "decepticon". Because it's an Asus Transformer Book.

Or just try to install, and it shows you what the package name is.
I go to the gym 3 times a week to prevent any kind of injuries like back pains, obesity or carpal tunnel. Before I started I was nearing the "severe obesity" bmi value and had constant back pains. Getting fitter decreases risk of illness and injuries.
As for the repetitive motions. I have ADHD so I'm always moving some parts of my body. :/
Isn't that Jayce from Magic The Gathering?
My first car was a 1994 Toyota Starlet. After 20 years it still ran perfectly. I was clueless about cars then as well, never did an oil change and probably never changed the tires as well. It cost 250 bucks at the time. I drove that small hero for 4 years, before I had to sell it, because of financial reasons.
It still drove perfectly then as well.
My second car was a Citroen C4 from 2004. Broke down in a year, and even in that year it was 2 months in the workshop. We did some few things ourselves, because a friend of mine is a hobby car mechanic. Some things in that car were just straight up weirdly placed or so fricking annoying to deal with.
The Auris 2014 is now my third car. Never had any problem until now. Always go to the yearly checkups, nothing found at all. This is the first time I got my car professional car washes in those big automated wash streets. I love that special snowflake (it's pearlescent white, so my wife calls it snowflake 😄)
The same can be said about GOG and Bandcamp items. Most of them are easier to find than physical media, too. Thanks to the Internet Archive!
Digital Media is just another form of Media. It's a lot easier to copy, too. That's why the publisher's thought it necessary to implement DRM, just in the worst way possible. In fact they tried to copy-protect books! Here is a stack question and great answer about this.
"Always Online" form of DRM is the most stupid thing anyone could ever do to a single-player.
Ubisoft and EA Games come to mind.
If the publisher ceases to exist and you lost the CD/DVD you don't own that media as well. Since you lost it. So the point you are trying to make in regards to GOG and Bandcamp is invalid. Those explicitly state that whatever you buy there is yours to own and keep.
GOG only has the convenience that you COULD get it back, if you lost it.
Anyway back to topic: This is the reason why I buy the media from digital distributors, download the media, crack the encryption, which I am allowed to do, because European Laws and this is my own bought copy of this media. I self-host it on a physical server I have access to and give no public access to it. I bought this thing to own, not to own the right of consumption.
I got a Toyota Auris 2 Hybrid (The smaller Prius 2, lol) I absolutely LOVE having all the buttons I have to use daily as physical knobs and buttons, like radio volume, air con and music source selection. Everything else, like dashboard settings, navigation or phone menu, which you shouldn't use while driving anyway, are accessible through the touch screen and can be further navigated with the physical buttons. It's not to distracting and can be somewhat used while driving without distracting you.
It's just Chromium in disguise anyway.
