The irony here is that I'm currently getting over COVID, dealing with long COVID, and could now use the stimulus money they sent me a couple years ago when I wasn't sick during the pandemic and was able to make ends meet. It sucks walking across the house and feeling like I've been working out. My congestion is just awful.
To comment on your sister -- she could probably buy something used from 2016-2020 for $50-$100 that'll last the next decade or so. That's what I did for my mom. Spent $200 on monitor ($75) and a Skylake desktop ($125). AVX, doesn't suck power, SSD, and more than adequate for her needs of paying bills and shopping on Amazon. Only thing it doesn't have is TPM2 for Win11. MS announced that maybe a month or so after we bought that so I didn't know it was something I needed to look for.
