I've done that once. Then I made the mistake of updating past the Android version it came with. Suddenly it was no better than most of the cheap androids I'd owned before that. It was the Oneplus 7 Pro and it just started lagging like hell 2 years in.

I'm now 2 years into my iPhone 13 mini, have also kept up with software updates and it hasn't slowed down at all.

I'm actually looking at something else for my first bike, but it does have a forum because it seems to have a huge fan base - I'm looking at older Ducati Monsters, particularly the 620.

Nah, the Complex instructions are ridiculously complex and the Reduced ones can still do a lot of stuff.

ARM and RISC-V are entirely different in that neither one is based on the other, but what they have in common is that they're both RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) architectures. RISC is what makes ARM CPUs (in your phone, etc) so efficient and hopefully RISC-V will get there too.

x86 by comparison is Complex Instruction Set Computing, which allows for more performance in some cases, but isn't as efficient.

Cars too. Lots of marque or model specific forums still kicking it.

Not to mention many of them probably have been you; out of shape, showing up to the gym for the first time.

Lifelong iOS hater who moved to iOS 2 years ago here. They're different strokes for different folks.

If you're like I used to be, get an Android! Flash a custom ROM on it! All the freedom is amazing.

Now I have an iPhone. It may even lack some features Android has. It gets them slower. But the experience is ridiculously polished and consistent. This is a device I can't have fail on me.

I still use Linux on my gaming PC and one of my work laptops. I love it. I love fiddling with things. I just want my phone to be an appliance like my fridge now. I buy it and forget it for the next few years.

Perhaps one day it'll just be systemd at this rate

Stop and go city traffic isn't all that sustained, because of the stop part.

None of my cars so far have had any issues towing ~2 tons, I'm not sure why 2.5 would be that much worse.

Of course, they've each had 400 newton-meters of torque out of their dinky little diesel engines.

I believe you can already play games on the Tesla's screen.

I do hope they're disabled when driving...
