As far as I can tell, there are no drivers - this OS runs on QEMU only. I guess if you are lucky, you can get it to boot on a real system accidentally. This is the opposite of Haiku-OS, for example, which tries to provide at least the minim

E-bikes are limited to 25kmh in Europe (and that also applies to the UK - for now). If you are seeing e-bikers doing 25mph (are you really?), then those are illegally modified. They exist, but are a distinct minority. Also, e-bikes are typi

This is a really bad take-home exercise, because it is way too vague. This vagueness makes it very hard for me to decide how much time to devote to it, and what task is complex enough so that you will consider it, but not too small so that

Hm, the XPS 13 base model is a bit cheaper than the Air base model (in Austria), the screens are comparable (FHD+ is lower res than Retina, but then 4K is far more, so there is no direct comparison). I do have a 13" XPS and I can tell

Amazon for bikes or bike parts? I don't understand this, it must be a US thing. Here in Europe, Amazon would be the last place I would go to buy anything bike related. We have _specialized_ large online retailers, like CRC in NI and Bi

Here is a list of what changed in the last ~20 years or so in MTB technology: - geometry: slacker head angles and longer reach, steeper seat tube - wide handlebars - dropper seatposts ^^^ these 3 above fundamentally transform your ability t

Well, on a MTB you are changing your position _all the time_. Regardless of your handlebar setup. You move your body around, up and down (you have a dropper seatpost, of course), fore and aft, left and right. If you don't do this, you

There is an important change in the angle in your hip, so leg vs torso. Modern MTB geometry puts you in a more upright position, and that opens the hip angle. This means for climbing you use more of your glutes and less your quadriceps. Thi

When you rent you usually do it via a Makler (real estate agent), who is going to ask for 2 months of rent as his/her fee. This is not the deposit, which is usually 3 months, and not the first month rent, this money is gone forever. So
