Valve's approach to the Steam Deck has been a refreshing approach in all this. It is a well-built product and replacement parts are a few clicks away https://www.ifixit.com/Parts/Steam_Deck https://www.ifixit.com/Parts/Steam_Deck People keep asking me why I don't like Apple products. I actually like most of their actual products, but their attitude as a company is frustrating. I don't want to pay a premium to feel limited.

I recently ditched my OneWheel for an EUC because just look at this awesome stuff: https://www.myinmotion.com/pages/parts-and-accessories https://www.myinmotion.com/pages/parts-and-accessories

  You mentioned a wheel in the context of Apple and I thought you were talking about the Apple MacBook Wheel. https://youtu.be/9BnLbv6QYcA https://youtu.be/9BnLbv6QYcA

  I was always surprised at how good the one wheel after market parts stuff was. Like you could replace almost everything besides the front foot pad, brains, and motor. I guess most of it is just injected molded plastic bolted on with screws but still it was nice to have the option of different rear foot pads, fenders, tires, etc. How have you found the switch? Still enjoy riding as much? I had to sell my One Wheel because I moved and the new area the roads were too annoying to cruise on. I've been considering it since the bigger wheels might make it easier to ride on the rougher roads.

    The learning curve is significantly steeper. I am already (2-3 weeks) feeling a more frequent urge to go for a ride, compared to the OW, but they say it takes about 6mo for it to really click and drag you in. It definitely doesn't feel as cool, though, and doesn't start conversations.

  How is the EUC on slightly rougher roads? The roads around me aren't as well maintained as some places. It's not horrible, but bad enough that my one friend with a OneWheel doesnt like riding around my neighborhood. I have been considering the EUC as an alternative.

    The larger wheel definitely handles challenges better than a OneWheel, it's one of the "known advantages" of EUCs. That being said, the advantage only applies in the forwards/backwards axis. Ruts and hitting things from the side may challenge and newbie. Many EUCs have shock absorbers.

I feel you. I want Apple's privacy advantages but every single time I use an Apple product I just feel like I can barely do anything useful with it. Do you still have to jailbreak your iphone to set a custom ringtone? Edit: I just checked and amazingly, yes. Unless you have a mac from a specific time with specific software to maybe help you out. If it's a song available on itunes you might be able to buy it as a ringtone but if it's something like your own recording, and you don't have a mac, basically go die in a ditch. Embarrassing.

  Jailbreaking isn’t even possible anymore on the newer phones. The latest iOS bricks your device if it detects any changes to the filesystem.

    Since it's software, it's never be a perfect so someone will find a bug sometimes to break the restriction.

  You can’t still use GarageBand on the iPhone to make custom ringtones on device?

    I think you can, I know I have a custom ringtone and I forget how I did it, but I didn't jailbreak or pay.

  It’s always weird to me when I hear people with custom ringtones on their phones, it feels super boomer and a bit embarrassing. I’m not sure I’ve even heard my iPhone 12 ever audibly ring, vibrate or gtfo.
