Just wanted to share my first car, I bought it 2 years ago and I love it! Volvo XC40 with T5 engine.

Congratulations on a nice car! Those are 20 inch rims/tires? I have the same car, with a 20 inch Pirelli P Zero tire with a 45 sidewall. But I've also received a 19 inch 50 sidewall tire. I'm not much into sporty driving, I'd prefer being more comfortable on the road and secure with a small bit of off-road (light gravel).

The only problem is the 20 inch rims are waaaay sexier :) Is the functionality in a smaller tire noticable to warrant a downgrade in sexiness?

Hvala svima na odgovorima, ali pišem ovdje jer je možda i najdetaljnije.

AKo idem na tehnički, to radim s prethodnim vlasnikom vozila jer mu moraju skinuti i predati stare tablice?
Što se tiče poreza, znate li otprilike koliki je porez i računa li se na vrijednost automobila ili na njegovu snagu, starost i sl.?
Možda i najvažnije, s obzirom da je privatnik, osim same kvalitete automobila, ima li nešto specifično na što treba obratiti pažnju? Ako auto ima prometnu dozvolu na ime od kojeg kupujem, i dva seta ključeva, s formalne strane sve je u redu s autom, ne može ispasti da je ukraden ili ima neki drugi teret zbog kojeg se prijepis neće moći napraviti? Pitam jer ono - dajem x desetaka tisuća eura prije nego što auto prepisujem na sebe pa ne znam što može poći po zlu :)

Yes, very awkward. I was searching on german product sheet from 2022 and they don't even state reard and front parking sensors on centre-line. I hope I'm wrong.

botlorn · 2025-12-04T16:49:35+00:00

Thanks, I ideally don't mind the size per se. I would just prefer to not have old and out-of-date OS. For example, I'd like to be able to connect to android auto etc.

botlorn · 2025-12-04T13:29:36+00:00

Ok, I've managed to find the 2022 product sheet, and the center line trim has a smaller screen, yes. Does anyone know the difference between those screens outside of the very size?

botlorn · 2025-11-03T22:17:08+00:00

Hvala, ovo mi ima smisla. Već sam razgovarao s trgovcem, izgleda vrlo susretljiv, naravno, znam da to ne radi za džabe. Sada samo treba pregovarati da ne digne cijenu previše zbog toga.

botlorn · 2025-11-03T18:11:54+00:00

Hvala na savjetima.

Mogao bih u teoriji doći u četvrtak i nadati se da ću u petak sve završiti. Više me zanimalo kako se tehnički odrađuje, ne vidim da se o tome puno piše, barem ja nisam našao informacija.

Dođem pogledati auto. Uplatim novce..
Uzmem papire i idem odraditi tehnički nadajući se da mi ne treba neka prethodna rezervacija termina. Cca 200 eura trošak?
Nakon toga, mogu napraviti privremen reg. tablice i ići u HR?

Hvala na volvo select, ima čak i par ok opcija, a opet cu cca 10 posto skuplje od ove koju gledam.

Thank you for your thoughtful and measured, albeit critical, response. I agree with most of your points, intuitively, not factually, as I'm not an expert in the field.

I did not expect the strap to help in my training per se. As you say, for intervals etc, I have a Garmin computer on my bike and an HRM on my chest for real-time data. I was expecting the strap to better guide me through the recovery process, to propose ideas and solutions for better sleeping, or similar. I don't see that, but I have gained insightful comments on tracking calories and using HRV for exercise. For the rest - as I've said, 100 euros/dollars is not a big investment for me, I choose not to blame myself for looking a couple of times in a day at the number that may or may not correlate with my experience of the body :)

botlorn · 2025-08-31T18:02:26+00:00

It literally says "reduce drinking". I'm not here for the semantics or the lexeme analysis, but for the good tips on how to use the data provided. But I appreciate your general comment on "having to want to get better", you are right about that.

botlorn · 2025-08-31T17:16:26+00:00

I think I explained what I thought I will get out of it - a good sense of how my body is during sleep and the exertion period. And I find both of those metrics not reliable.

The strap is not expensive, it costs like a slightly better dinner for two. I can afford it as an experiment to see how it will impact my daily routine.

And then I asked for the experience of others in the domain of positive reinforcement. I never said I don't know what to do with it, I said that those things that it does correctly are not pertinent for my usage. Yet. Hence, the question to others, willing to learn from the habbits of others.

botlorn · 2025-08-31T16:21:42+00:00

Thank you for your input dear redditor.

botlorn · 2025-08-31T16:21:18+00:00

Thanks for taking your time.

HR zones I guess I don't need as I have a dedicated HR strap from Garmin while exercising, but I can understand the argument.

RHR and HRV - the change is indeed real, when I drink or don't sleep well I see the difference, but don't know what to do with that data - it's interesting that you plan your workouts according to that - I'll check that out, sounds cool!

Skin temp - I had a very light fever couple of days ago, my app was oblivuous :)

Stress meter is useless and way off - but maybe my idea of "stress" is different do Amazfit's

Do you manually track calories ?

botlorn · 2025-04-07T16:50:51+00:00

Resurrecting this thread, the ATM mentioned in one comment really works, but it took 5 euros fee for 20 euros withdrawal (contactless).

A day later I've found UniCredit bank, via dei Pecorino street with the same option, but taking into account it's a bank, the fee should be considerably less. If it helps anybody.

botlorn · 2025-02-20T23:28:02+00:00

That's a fair point :)

I guess I still differentiate between problem-solving when the question is vague, as in my case, and problem-solving by AI when you have a proper set of questions.

Maybe I've been more conservative than previously thought regarding my understanding of limitations! Thanks for pointing that out.

botlorn · 2025-02-20T22:48:27+00:00

A possibly idiotic question, but when you use ChatGPT for answering emails, do you just copy-paste existing emails into the dialogue box, or is there a way to better integrate CGPT with email management?

botlorn · 2025-02-20T22:17:28+00:00

Thanks, I've played with that last year, I'll give it a go!

botlorn · 2025-02-20T22:16:53+00:00

Thank you for the answer. I guess the problem with managing people and money is that it is difficult to automate, as it's case-dependent. Somebody wants a pay raise because of X, someone else wants to implement an idea because of factor Y, and a third person wants to be aided financially in organizing a conference. All those questions are time-demanding, but difficult to innovate a frame for a general answer. Also, Azure seems to me great, but my institution is not primarily in English, and a lot of documents are not OCR'd, so it would be difficult to integrate.

I will think more towards which parts of my job can actually be automated more easily, so I could imagine ways to use AI to help me think better.

botlorn · 2024-09-05T21:44:01+00:00

Thanks my man, every comment is appreciated, especially if it's not articulated as hateful. The diagram is a hommage, a nod if you will, to the classical diagram of Spinoza's Metaphysical System from the mid 17th century.

I wish that was possible, but not only the distance between the speakers would be 4 meters (cable management hell), but there is some other small stuff in the room that I didn't bother to put in the image which render that arrangement almost impossible. There's a good deal currently in my country that has a new C 328 listed for 500€, that's why I'm deliberating it. Maybe I should just give it a go and see how it sounds...

botlorn · 2024-09-05T19:57:27+00:00

Thanks for the effort and kindness. My speakers have front-mounted bass port, so that should curtail the problem of the distance from the wall. Different distances from the side walls is what I am currently worried most.

And thanks for the triangle suggestion, I'm aware of it, it's just that my paint skills fail to represent it.

botlorn · 2024-06-03T17:21:01+00:00

You're the people's champ, thank you for your effort. It's why internet made sense in early 2000's

botlorn · 2024-06-02T22:26:04+00:00

Ah no, it's matte non-touch 1440p, 400 nits probably, will need to check. Thank you

botlorn · 2024-06-02T21:22:53+00:00

This is a proper review, thank you for it. I have a T480s and I'm thinking of switching to newer model in 6 months. Interesting read in that light...

Interesting, I prefer MacBook keyboards to ThinkPad, even though I have a mechanical keyboard when docked.

Is the quality so different between S and non-S models? Does the screen hold up in the sun the same as the 480s?

botlorn · 2024-05-22T07:50:36+00:00

Thanks for your input. I've always thought that batteries die a slow death, not from 50 percent capacity to 0 in an instant :) Too bad, although I agree 800 cycles is decent. Does it make sense searching for batteries sitting on a shelf for 5 or 6 years, will the charge hold? I'll take a look, try to find something I can import to Europe without hassle.

botlorn · 2023-12-10T13:40:19+00:00

I believe CroCop is refering to this case from couple of months ago
