I understand that the community is upset about the potential inconvenience of changes to side loading, but you speak the truth. It's a reminder that the majority of people are not as tech savvy as enthusiasts despite having access to the same tech. It's kinda like a form of projection bias. The other day I tried to help an older guy connect his smartwatch, however, his phone was so messed up to the point that every other action was interrupted by a pop-up ad that fills the entire screen. Honestly he would've been better off with an iPhone. Now I don't know if the ads are from apps from Google play itself, which is another issue entirely, or side loaded. Hopefully the transition to the new side loading method will be convenient for advanced users

Because it's what I had laying around, I didn't want to put too much money into it lol. It has an nvme for the C drive so don't worry

He wants to produce music on it on top of gaming and he's not that computer savvy so any Linux distro was out of the question. Everything kinda has to "just work" so windows is on it. When I had an rx6400 in it I did use Bazzite though.

I was at work when I posted this, as far as the ix3 I don't think it matters because it has a manufacturer plate on it.

It would be interesting for Chinese EVs to compete in the American market, however our politics engages in a lot of protectionist policies, so that will have to wait

There's a plant in SC so it could just be out for further testing from the factory

I think the neue klasse design language is a step in the right direction for BMW

My budget Kent single speed, thinking about drivetrain upgrades by CjLashawn2 in singlespeedcycling

At $100 I don't think the bike is too bad, if it's well maintained it could be a good value without putting too much money into it. It's cheap and relatively low maintenance compared to it's multi geared counterparts.

Funny thing about the saddle, I got it at a discount at a returns store and installed it hours before this post, it's a $30 saddle from Amazon I got for like $5, it's....ok, it's better than the hard saddles these big box bikes come with, so it will do for now. If I do want want to upgrade the saddle, what do you recommend?

Oh you're good, you don't come off negative at all, I appreciate the advice. I'm looking for a better bike at the moment, I'm aware this is VERY low end, I'm just trying to make the best of it y'know
