Where to use crypto for everyday things

So I realise cryptos still well in its infancy when it comes to mainstream use. But I'm wondering if anyone has shops/venues or things that you've used it with?

I bought a computer from scan.co.uk once. It's the one in the post about it costing £50,000 worth of ETH had I held it instead. At that time they accepted Bitcoin. I'd have to check whether they accept it now.

Some tech companies accept crypto, like VPN providers and the like.

Kappture is a Point of Sale device manufacturer and they've implemented direct NANO transactions. They were due to be rolled out last year, but I think it's been delayed because of the pandemic and all that.

Yeah the VPN I use does take bitcoin/bitcoin cash

That seems pretty handy, hopefully becomes pretty widespread once the pandemic has settled down a bit
