I’m waiting for the price on used i5s to drop a bit before I trade my car in for one. Since they’re only a year old, they’re still super pricy. i4 is a bit small for me if I have people in the back.

The 530e is pretty perfect for me in the meantime. Only 20 mile range on full electric, but that works pretty perfectly for me since I can charge at home and at work. On longer trips I can still burn dinosaurs, but I only fill the tank up a few times per year. I think I’ve put gas in it 6 times this year, and that includes a couple ~3 hour trips.

I’ve thought about Tesla, but there’s so much I don’t like about them.

I think they are very mistaken about the options requiring a subscription and their price. Most of the options you could get a subscription for also are available as a one time purchase… the same way they were in the past. Heating and air conditioning aren’t among those options, they come standard in every car.

BMW did drop the subscription for heated seats after backlash. That one was stupid. The other options I’m a little torn on. There are costs associated with developing the software used for most of the options like driving assistance. I have no problem paying for that development, and the subscription lets me try it for a month to see if it’s worth it. As long as there is the ability to outright buy the option instead of locking into a perpetual subscription I’m chill with it. I also hope that once unlocked, the option is still available when resold. This part I’m not so sure about, but mine seemed to maintain the options purchased by the original owner.

It’s not a super recent article, but a list of options and pricing is available at the bottom of this page: https://www.kbb.com/car-news/bmw-quietly-launches-in-car-subscriptions-in-u-s/

I returned my first oled because of this. It was maddening reading and writing, and made any graphic design impossible.

Bought a new one this year and they seem to have solved the problem.

God damnit, now I want to try to carbonate pasta sauce.

Are you able to say anything but that?

The iScroll!

I love my bmw plug in hybrid. I don’t see myself ever paying for a subscription though. Maybe if it comes with pizza, but even then it’s unlikely.

They replaced my 13900k after about a week of back and forth with their support department, after getting transferred between like 5 agents for some reason. It took a lot of patience to get through that process. RMA took 3 weeks. I bought a $150 i5 so I could still use my PC. I’m not sure how much faith I have that the new one won’t fail as well.

That said, the amount of troubleshooting and wasted time that it took to figure out that the CPU was responsible for months of random crashes while gaming was frustrating, to say the least. Even a complete refund would barely dent the cost of my wasted time. My next PC will be rocking AMD.

That’s the fun part. They’ve made it so the windows don’t break now either. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6tnEDH1HfD0

Found the bezel hater

You know, I was using my iphone 15 the other day and was extraordinarily bothered by its thicc bezels. Thank god apple is innovating solutions for problems like these.

Now I’m super curious. All of their comments have been removed.

Do not want.

For me, my cad software was always windows specific. I think they have Linux versions now though.

Gaming is the other reason.

I haven’t had the same experience.

Did you mean to type “off this reply”?

This is what I came for! Party in the zuccerback!

They replaced my 13900k for exactly this reason a couple of months back. I bought a full contact cpu frame and tossed a new AIO cooler on it, and we’ll see how it goes…
