(tho there are probably also some other solutions that I don't know of)

If you can yeah do it

That's a good option if you can afford it

Apparently 'it's just a bug'

According to twitter at least

They *could* use a foreign number for their verification though

Since those are mainly political dissident I expect them to have at least that level of security

Isn't it gay month? <:thonk:288060975775612929>

Does Adata qualifies as a chink brand for SSD? I'm hesitating between the 'top' ADATA SX8200 Pro and the Samsung 970 Evo Plus. According to UserBenchmark they are about the same on average but Adata is way better at sustain write/read while the Samsung is better (though sometimes slightly) on everything else. https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Samsung-970-Evo-Plus-NVMe-PCIe-M2-500GB-vs-Adata-XPG-SX8200-Pro-NVMe-PCIe-M2-1TB/m700020vsm638791

(but I can also buy 1TB Adata for almost the price of 500 GB Evo Plus)

What should I use then?

Yeah but was asking more like 'which one would be reliable'

Or is it just 'avoid Userbenchmark, every other is valid'?

Also I need a samsung evo performance because I have a small dick

SX8200 is nvme

Adata claims to be on par with Samsong top nvme SSDs

With this one

I do but not that often

Hence why I'm tending to think of the more 'budget friendly' adata

It's not like everyday, but once every week or more

I was thinking more along the lines of 10s/100s GB

True, but then again, it's not like this 'premium' is gonna cost me that much anyway

From where I live I can get and SX8200 Pro 1TB for 170 deutschmarks, on the other hand a normal 1TB Sata SSD will cost me around 100 deutschmarks

Sure is, but remember that I have a small dick

For this price tho the SSD is gonna be quite low end, being only TLC and barely reaching SATA 3 top speed

Well rn there's a truckload of deals on SSDs

And my main SSD is kinda dying rn

(I meant to say in my area of course)

Thanks

I got a few mainland China friends and they are not shouting China #1 so I wonder if that's just you having a bad sample or me

Well there's a wide spectrum between China is shit and China is #1

My friends are more like "Yeah China is good/fine"

I visited China though only Beijing, was fun but wouldn't spend more than a week

I would quite like to visit the Great DPRK but I can't due to work...

There's stuff relevant to my personal interests

I'm into planes

And stuff that flies people

And DPRK got some planes that aren't flying anywhere in the world as of now

LPG is pretty much dead in my country

Well it never really catched on

Frankreich

It got pretty much out of hand if you put the yellow vest protests in the equation

Well even without it, diesel price makes it really not interesting

Yeah, I say that but it'd probably have happened for another reason, albeit a bit later

And now I'm glad I'm running on unleaded

Though I'm starting to look into EV

Because this price trend doesn't really looks like it's gonna change anytime soon

Blue is unleaded, Black is diesel, Red is the difference between the two of them

The Zoe is shit

Pricewise

It got a really bad quality/price ratio

Well it's more like it's almost the only one in that range

In France at least it's either cheaper but way smaller (C-Zero, Smart and such)

Or more expensive but bigger (Nissan Leaf, Opel and such)

I'd be fine with the C-Zero if it wasn't that old

It got 0 modern equipment

Yeah it's quite old even if you don't put it relatively to other EVs

What do you mean by that?

Errrrr

Slightly?

It's like almost 50% more expensive

idk where you are but here nah

Starting price for Zoé in France is around 20k

(without any bonus)

Kia e-Niro is more like 35k

So sure it's better, but it's like... not "slightly" more expensive

As for me I was looking into the Leaf

But it's on par with that Kia

And I'm not about to fork that money

Also

I'm ok with buying second hand

Zoé second hand is cheap, but Leaf isn't

If possible but even previous gen would be fine if it's in the more expensive models

Well shiet... it looked nice on the paper >_>

Apparently it's still air cooled on the new models

They just say it's "better prepared"

Not sure what that means

But then I'd probably be using this car for commute and short/medium length travels (< 100km)

So I'm not that much concerned on battery issues unless it's very severe

I'd have thought the opposite?

Since longer running time -> more likely to pack more heat

Never saw that many Kia in my country, but then, France, buying french car just because and getting raped by servicing is customary

Well I can book for a tesla drive

There's a shop like 10 minutes (on foot) away from my workplace

But that price...

Sure?

Oh I forgot to tell you

I'm half asian

So I don't understand either

I'm gonna say that's the reason

It's gay af

To be fair though there isn't much on the road except for very specific locations

The only place you'd spot 'a lot' of them is central Paris

Because it's nice to ride there and it'll be less of a pain to park

But that's it

Wow

Well that's a decent usage of it I guess

Hahaha

Yeah that's one of the selling point of the Zoé, the whole "no noise inside" shit
