Nothing compares to products made in-house, offer variety of sourcing & in-house. Learn fabrics, check ethics, sustainability and support local screenprinters / seamstresses.
If in USA, people are a fan of fully Made-In-America clothing. Again, would suggest offering a variety to show both global & local support.

Tips

How to learn:


every day pick different topic > look up in encyclopedia / wiki
repetition & memorable experience > music can help
longer study times does not always equate to more knowledge: study, review major topics / points following day, then week
every month pick new book, read. also pick one in foreign language
can also add one book in philosophy / psych
learn things above your skill level: eg pick higher math and learn lower parts as you go
one online skill course / month
every day of week or weekly, new subject: eg: today's my astronomy day, tomorrow science, religion, etc.
art & music creation once / day
practice one language / day: eg: monday-german tuesday-french, etc.; watch foreign movie / day or week
make art or diary entries based on what you learn: if diary translate to each language
language: one month / week of different topic eg common phrases, animals, foods, sports. one month / alphabet grammar topic
music: notes, scales, keys, rhythm, chords, progressions, ratios
art: shapes, form, color theory, topo, 3d modeling can help make more concrete representations, go through years & learn art styles
flexibility: stretches 3 times a day at least 20 seconds / stretch
5 cycles of 10-20 reps / exercizes, 30 - hour cardio daily or 3 - 4 times weekly

Disable camera, microphone, bluetooth drivers via device manager when not in use
Turn off location services / privileges
Secure & password protect all security cameras in household
Have multiple backups of your files, hardcopies of important files
Turn off unnecessary start programs
Task manager to check for suspicious programs from unidentified / peculiar publishers
Vpn, proxy, virtual machine
Linux/Tails if possible
Strong passwords, different passwords for each account, 2fa
Delete temp internet files, cookies, history
Privacy Badger, adblocker, noscript(if site won't load, unblock main site, its cdn, then cloudflare)
Strict Firewall rules: block list of vulnerable ports, or just keep https / http open(close http if can), requests for all apps / publishers
Screenshot instead of saving pictures
Remove metadata from photos publishing online / sharing with others (properties --> details --> remove all properties & personal information, mac: image -> location -> hide location or preview -> tools -> show inspector -> remove location info)
Attempt not to download files off internet / only download from trusted sites
Run downloaded files or websites through sandbox; cuckoo.ee
Turn off internet / devices when not in use

Less apps the best apps
Don't offer too much infomation, don't give people access to your computer remotely, check credentials / websites / trustpilot / whoowns before you do business. If business offer, or person needs btc / monetary / giftcards, check scam forums to find out if scam. A lot of investment / crypto deals are scams. Scam sites usually have a certain feel to them(very basic, little time put in, generic), use a certain form of forumlaic / disjointed form of writing, clickbait, etc. Website quality / safety can decrease over time if sold.
Familiarize yourself with terms like spoofing, phishing, whaling, mal/ransom/spyware, social engineering, brute force, man-in-the-middle, keylogger. Learn manipulation / scam tactics(you're prob being manipulative without knowing it but it's ok as long as you try your best not to be, care and attempt to better yourself)
Check periodically for network / cpu spikes / if your fan is breathing too hard too often when idle.
Your computer broken / have something you can't fix? Try updating your drivers or re-installing windows before you bring it to the store. Chances are, unless it's a hardware issue, this is what they're going to do & try to upcharge you for it.
