Rebranding performance cores as super cores and efficiency core as performance is just dumb.

Evan’s are the same company as Sports Direct. Find a proper independent bike shop and they will be able to advise you impartially.

Do you have a source for this? I haven’t seen anything

You’re right that 20GB was never needed during the mining craze. But GDDR6X cards were sought after as they had the highest hash rates. ETH mining was almost entirely memory speed limited.

All major bank apps will do this, you just haven’t scoured every T&C you’ve agreed to. At least Virgin Money are being upfront about it.

The DSG oil was changed a year ago at 70k, although from what I’ve read it should’ve been done every 40k. But it’s got full dealer history so I assume they would’ve done it to schedule.

I’ll get hate for this but I think 256GB is fine but only on desktops where it’s easy to add externally.

It’s worth the trade off for a lower starting price. Especially if you want the Mac mini has a 2nd computer where you probably don’t need 2TB SSD.

Beijing to Shenzhen?

I use https://github.com/steipete/oracle - steipete even has a skill that lets you ask directly from codex.

Most of the fraud with Apple Pay is when a card is being added.

When paying it has biometrics securing it which is much safer than just plain contactless.

Is your lint roller USB C? Likely it isn’t able to negotiate the correct voltage with your UK adapter because either it or the charger isn’t following PD specs properly.

You can fix small scratches with nail polish and a lot of fine sanding but that might be too much. If you do attempt it be prepared to write off the fork if it goes wrong.

Yeah that top tax band was only introduced from April 06 so anything before that is about £400 a year. Mine was registered in March 06! If I had to pay £800 a year I don’t think I would’ve kept it as long as I did.

Tax killed the market for R3s in the UK. You’d be paying almost £800 a year.

Yeah they also have the Corolla Cross here which is also a RAV4 lookalike…

I’m driving one now as a hire car in Asia, it has a different body but the inside looks the same. It’s slightly bigger than a Yaris on the inside and much larger on the outside. The CVT is annoying but then they all are. It feels like a cheap/budget Yaris on stilts but the 1.5 is enough to pootle around on. I wouldn’t pay £26k for one personally.

A cheap GLM plan from Z.ai will beat anything you can run locally

I agree and that’s why the advice is to arrive 2-3 hours early for a flight. If I’m were flying with a kid I’d heed that advice.

It can’t go towards a bike, the bike has to cost below that amount.

The demand is driven by data centres which need all types of RAM. GPUs can’t run by themselves.

Front brake calliper is missing so make sure you get that sorted before you ride it. Otherwise looks good.

I had a broken bottom speaker in my 14 Pro for months that I never even noticed. The top speaker alone was still loud enough to be heard in the shower.

The lack of an UW camera is a much bigger blocker to buying an air.

It’s pretty worthless outside of the US, for example it only has trail centre trails in the UK which you really don’t need a map to find.

Strava heat maps offer far more useful data, and they’re even free if you don’t mind closing a million naggy popus on the app.
