Pricing check — WordPress site → iOS/Android app for an overseas client ?

Solo dev here. Did a project converting an overseas client's WordPress site into iOS + Android apps and want a sanity check on what I charged, from people who know local rates.

Scope:

Capacitor wrapper, both platforms, loading their live site
Native push notifications (OneSignal) with deep-linking
Splash/icon/offline/pull-to-refresh
Full store setup + submission on both stores (org verification, DUNS, Apple enrolment, certs, builds)
Two small custom WordPress plugins to fix push-related bugs

Charged LKR 200,000 (~$600) one-time, client pays store fees + owns accounts, small monthly retainer on top.

Is that reasonable for the scope from an SL freelancer's POV, or did I underprice? And what would you set the monthly maintenance retainer at? Foreign client, so I could arguably charge in USD rates — unsure how much of that to lean into.

RTX 5070 12GB vs 5060 Ti 16GB for gaming + video editing — which makes more sense?

Building a new PC (paired with an Intel i5-14400) and I'm stuck between two GPUs:

RTX 5070 12GB

RTX 5060 Ti 16GB

Use case is roughly 50/50 gaming and video editing. Right now I'm on a 1080p 24" 120Hz monitor (Asus), but I plan to upgrade to a higher-res/refresh monitor down the line.

My main questions:

1.For video editing (timeline scrubbing, exports, effects), does the extra 4GB of VRAM on the 5060 Ti matter more than the raw horsepower of the 5070?

2.For gaming, the 5070 is clearly faster — but is 12GB VRAM going to be a problem once I move past 1080p to 1440p or higher?

3.Given I'll be upgrading my monitor later, which card is the smarter long-term pick?

Budget is a factor but I'd rather buy the right card once. Appreciate any real-world experience, especially from people doing both editing and gaming.

Sony a6400 vs RTX 5060 Ti 16GB — which should a dev/gamer learning photography buy first?

I'm a developer and gamer based in Srilanka , planning to put one big purchase on my HNB credit card (0% installment). I'm torn between two:

Sony a6400 (from Camera.lk) — I'm genuinely interested in learning photography and might do paid shoots down the line, but I'm a total beginner.

RTX 5060 Ti 16GB — for my PC, which I use for gaming, dev work, video editing and etc

The camera would be a new hobby I'm testing into it.

For someone in my situation, which is the smarter buy right now? Should I commit to a mirrorless body before knowing if photography sticks, or upgrade the GPU I'll definitely use daily? Budget-conscious takes welcome.
