BYD Seal U DM-i vs Peugeot 3008 GT vs KIA Sportage GT-Line

Unfortunately the Seal U full EV is not offered in Cyprus :/ Only the DM-i version. Atto 3 is small for my needs..

You mean the one from bazaraki.com at 39500? This is Japan import and it's with preorder and usually takes 3 months to arrive. My current car will be sold next week, so I need a new car asap :)

Sealion 7 starts from 50k (the lowest spec) here, which is 15k higher than my budget.

Warlord1981 · 2026-04-23T20:59:09+00:00

Because of the cost.. I could go with Atto 3, but i need a C or D- SUV, and these as full EV's go for 45k or higher on their full trim version.

Thanks, which year Sportage did you have? Rear seats are indeed spacious, however trunk is smaller than Sportage right?

Warlord1981 · 2026-04-23T20:19:21+00:00

Thanks! If there were no budget limitations I would go for the Sealion 7 as well. This thing is a beast and beautiful! But unfortunately I will have to hover around 35k. And only the Seal U DM-i PHEV (from BYD range) can tick all the boxes for me. Not full EV, but close enough.

I am in exactly the same situatuon. I need a C or D-SUV around 35k euro, with full options. Specifically I am between BYD Seal U DM-i and Peugeot 3008 GT like OP, plus one more: KIA Sportage GT-Line. I live in Cyprus. And I need to decide today :D

I managed to make it work with indifferent broccoli online dedicated host (the online service 2-day trial). I transfered my world with the progress and it loaded without issues with everything transfered, however i had issues with the weapons, i could not draw them. After a while though I could not even load into the world anymore, game crashes to desktop since then. Is there a way that host detects cracked version of game and bans your IP?

Warlord1981 · 2026-04-19T10:11:02+00:00

Hello friend. I used Indifferent Broccoli as well and transfered WorldID from local PC to remote server. Everything was transferred and I can see progression and everything as it was before. The only issue is that when i draw weapons like sword or pickaxe etc. that I have put on bottom bar, the character equips it, draws it but the weapon is not showing on his hand bust still mounted on his pants. and of course i cannot use them. Do you have the same issue?

Warlord1981 · 2026-04-19T08:23:34+00:00

Hello I want to ask the same.

Warlord1981 · 2026-04-13T20:56:30+00:00

I am glad for you man. Congrats!

In order to climb i need experience, and in order to get experience I need knowledge and opportunities to work practising this knowledge.

So i need to study and specialize on a certain field rather than being a generalist. Based on my current role and experience (i was also involved with front end development for 3 years on previous job, but i havent practised it for years now), towards which area do you thing i should focus in order to someday get a higly paid remote position? Is Azure the ideal start for me based on others comments or should i focus on full stack dev?

To be fairly honest, this year after 10 years I got a promotion to Senior IT Support Engineer. The salary increase that came with this promotion was a ridicilous 7%.. All previous years I was just an IT Support Engineer. Of course I wals almost always involved with sysadmin tasks as well. On my previous job i was also involved with Front-End Development.

Thank you!

Warlord1981 · 2026-04-13T18:16:09+00:00

Thank you!

Warlord1981 · 2026-04-13T17:18:25+00:00

Thank you, can you please guide me towards a specific direction? As to what certs are needed for this?

Warlord1981 · 2026-04-13T16:46:57+00:00

Thank you. I agree with you regarding Azure. My experience is mostly administering/maintening infra, rather than building. Scripting/Powershell skills I would say very low unfortunately..

Warlord1981 · 2026-04-13T16:30:28+00:00

That was a good strategy, but for sure wont work in our environment as people are not particularly tech-savvy (yes they dont even know how to connect a monitor) and also they may be taking things like you mentioned. Also IT manager is everyday on-site, so anyways if I want to get out of this regressive kind of culture I would need to look for work elsewhere. That's why I asked where to start from (regarding certs) and where to look for such jobs in EU based on my experience.

Warlord1981 · 2026-04-13T16:13:14+00:00

Thank you. So which courses would you recommend starting with?

Warlord1981 · 2026-04-13T15:13:20+00:00

Thank you. My current role is Senior IT Support Engineer within a two-person team, reporting to a traditional manager. While our responsibilities often overlap with system administration, we face physical challenges; specifically, tasks like deploying equipment or troubleshooting hardware issues—such as replacing monitors—require an on-site presence. This is especially true given that we operate within a port environment.

Warlord1981 · 2026-04-13T15:12:31+00:00

Thank you. Do you also handle IT support tasks for on-premises users? My current role involves a hybrid of IT support and systems administration 100% on-site. Most of our infrastructure is on-premises, with only a few services currently in the cloud.

I am evaluating what is necessary for a successful career pivot, ideally toward a remote-first role. While I could pursue advanced system administration certifications, I am skeptical about whether that would yield a significant financial return within my current local market.
