As you are from Europe, one of the best to start, would be Vanguard FTSE All-World ETF, or in short WVCE. I am mostly investing into it for my retirement.
If you want to feel the market more, you can buy some individual stocks, starting from blue chip ones, or if you want to gamble a bit more, you can take a look at crypto or small cap stocks.
As for platforms/brokers, there are couple of most popular in Europe: Degiro or IBKR. I myself use IBKR for stocks and ETFs.
If budget allows, I would pick RTX3090, if budget is too tight, look at RTX3080 or RTX3080Ti 12 Gb vram models. 10 gb vram models can be too small in the future or if you plan to use it for image processing.
I also am working mainly with image processing and segmentation, we mainly use RTX3080 and RTX3080Ti GPUs.
It should also be cheaper to pick components and build PC yourself.
P.S. Could you tell me more about your trading startup? Any links to check out?
How does it compare to Flask framework?
Is there any plans in the near future to open in other regions?
I also live in Europe. Here some quick suggestions from person who is quite interested in trading and investing:
1. Save few months of cash reserves to have freedom if things goes south.
2. Start reading about investing and ETFs and Indexes.
3. Start invest in small sums in ETFs and or Bonds. There are two ways:
3.1. If you want to transfer and forget, you can try some of the RoboAdvisors, which will buy ETFs/Bonds for you with assigned percentage. I personally use ETFMatic [1] for couple of years without any issues.
3.2. If you want to buy ETFs by yourself, you can open brokerage account. As I read that you are from Europe, we mostly use Degiro [2] or IBKR [3] here. I use IBKR personally. You will be safer with ETFs, rather than single stocks. One of the recommended ETFs, would be VWCE, which Tin short - tracks World economy. As my colleagues say, VWCE and Chill.
4. Try to avoid single stocks, crypto and investment gurus and get rich quick schemes.5. Happy and safe investing!
You can find more information about European ETFs on justetf.com [4]
After some time, you can take a look at more serious projects, such as robot-spiders, or robots manipulators.
Might you also be interested in buying cheap 3D printer, to make the parts such as gears or cases for your hardware projects.
After you are quite comfortable with electronics and hardware, you can make your own 3D printed robot, such as CM6 - Compliant 3D printed robotic arm [1] or WE-R2.4 Six-Axis Robot Arm [2].
Happy building!

I had Amazfit Bip for multiple years until it finally broke.
After trying Android Wear, battery life if very bad, I am looking for alternatives.
Is there any modern alternative to Pebble with all basic functions, such as eink display, battery life, notifications or call muting, but it also could reply to messages/notifications?
So far we have been using charts.js for most of the tasks, might want to update to something new in the future? Might this be an option?
As a person, who played quite a bit with Digital Ocean and would have loved to skip the server setuping, I think it would be perfect for my future projects as well.
After reading multiple real user comments, I do not think I still want to buy it. Does anyone know any other good alternatives for paper notes?
I see multiple people recommending cheap LCD panels, is there any cheaper or simpler e-paper note takers but with multiple notes features?
As I am from manufacturing side, object detection and segmentation models changed product quality inspection for good.
Now multiple cameras with trained models can find defects on any surface or part as small as it can get, before it was multiple operators looking at moving parts 8 to 12 hours a day which was very tiring and repetitive job to do.

I have been looking at it for my future projects for quite some time.
Fees seems to be a bit higher, but it also has both CC and PayPal integrations and can take care of the taxes.
