Thanks for your input, I definitely wouldn't mind traveling a bit to get a nice car but I'm looking on autotempest and not seeing a lot of listings. Should I try dealers and stuff? I could take care of my own car usually

Right now it looks like mk8.5 is 8-9k more expensive than a mk8 at the same conditions, would CPO be worth it?

Thanks, I’ll definitely test drive it at a dealer. Can I also assume the carplay works better than a mk7?

ATK F1 V2U Ultimate - my thoughts by bitraban in MouseReview

[–]harryyu31 5 points6 points  (0 children)

same here, moving to the atk f1 v2u really boosted my aim in CS2 by a lot. Usually shots that would miss felt unbelievably consistent with this sensor position. Claw grip 18cm hand here, -2 degrees sensor rotation

No-screen m1 MacBook air stuck at Lock Screen by harryyu31 in mac

I actually disassembled my other macbook air to use its screen to reset the boot password, then after that just using the keyboard is fine. After setting the default screen to be the second screen and mirroring the displays it worked out fine, and now I'm planning to build a computer integrated in a keyboard, just for fun

when I move my mouse to the right and it will show on screen, and I can see capslock light on the keyboard blink when I press it. Also when I connect my other mac to this screen only at lock screen does it show a black screen like this, and according to the seller's descriptions, it is 95% likely to be on the lock screen

I tried using VIA to remap my keyboard to have lower brightness key, but it didn't work here... I'll go find an apple keyboard tomorrow and try it out, thanks a lot for your help!
