They have amps you can connect to dumb speakers I believe, that might be an option

No, do not even give them that. The FTC has done plenty of research on this. There is absolutely no difference in data safety when an "approved Technician" is fixing your device and a third party technician is fixing your device.

In fact common sense says the third party if established will actually be much more cautious and handle your data a hell of a lot more safely than some dude working at the genius bar that had a 15 minutes breakdown on how to see water damage and tell you "nothing we can do" as the third party establishment has to uphold their reputation while the the genius bar guy can just go get another job.

But this thing costs more than many electric fat bikes alone, and doesn't even come with its own motor. It's just a really bad deal. Again, this is without a motor, something from what I've seen other companies include, and costs more than other options including an entire electric bike on its own.

A sled can handle deep snow too, I don't think this could do anything better than a similarly priced electric fat bike.

You should talk to a doctor if a bike frame is turning your bones into powder. I'm actually really curious how your skeleton can support the weight of your own body in that case.

>The S-Trax Snowbike Conversion Kit sells for €2,499.99

At that point, just buy a used snowmobile or something, cheaper ones are at that price. There are so many better, more cost effective options.

It just seems like a poorly conceived idea being marketed towards success. A lot of "technology" or ideas that aren't that great get bought and marketed as this cool new thing that will totally change X industry, despite everyone in that industry knowing exactly why it won't. The sad part is, many are successful because people fall for it, like those things you plug into your OBD or "essential oils".

Edit: HOLY FUCK

>The S-Trax Snowbike Conversion Kit sells for €2,499.99

That's as much as a (cheaper) used snowmobile from what I see. It also apparently doesn't even come with its own motor, which other conversion kits do too.

You thought the ghost of Steve Jobs was going to put up with this bullshit? He didn't design the IPhone so that some 17 year old living down the street could fix it for 60 bucks.

It’s the nature of money in politics.

You’ll get voter referendums/initiatives that get deadlines pushed back and wording changed as soon as the politicians have to codify the law change already voted in my people.

Robots would do a better job at this point

“ok google, family room light on”

like have we really devolved to this point lol. do you think i should start saving up for my wall-e scooter now or just take out a loan when the time comes

And yet I can't stop an alarm when I'm standing directly in front of it yelling.

Not, u cannot. U r not gonna be able to put it together the same way so u do not lose IP6 protection . The case will be loose and clumsy. The battery thermal cover u gonna need to rip off so there is no way to put it back the same way .

Tested on the last 3 generations of LG phones

I just don't ee the appeal of these things at all. I've been to friends' houses where they have shown off the capabilities... and it's not very impressive at all. Sure "Play salsa music" will get it to play salsa music, but... who cares?

These things are largely solutions looking for a problem.

A quadroplegic in the other hand.....oh wait no hands ✋

I put mine back in the box like 3 months ago mainly because Google Assistant has gotten so bad lately to the point of being kinda useless.

The bill got fucked ; https://youtu.be/7xGBB-717AI other news outlets are praising New York when in fact they should be concerned

It passed and then was amended after the fact, effectively breaking the language needed, which should be illegal.

You can still replace those batteries you have to learn to split the case.

That’s how all politics/legislation in New York works, especially the city. Trust me, I’ve spent my whole life here.

You can get parts anywhere, have to have resources, and also not for nothing. eBay has a wealth of parts.

ITT: People who didn’t read the article and freaking out.

The article gives step by step of what happens in order for this to occur. And it involves the “hacker” being in close proximity, forcing google home to disconnect from network, adding the google home to their own account, and then calling the device which has visual cues that’s the device is in a call.

Given that the infiltrator has to be physically present I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. No one would actually do this if they had malicious intent, they would just set up their own listening devices if the wanted to hear inside your home.

> The bill also won’t require OEMs to provide “passwords, security codes or materials” to bypass security features, which is sometimes necessary to do to save a locked, but otherwise functionally fine device.

That part I understand at least. If anyone can access locked devices there's not much point for locking it.

But the part about selling component parts is bullshit

Bet you own a cellphone though and don't give it a second thought.

It was a case 8+ years ago. I was fixing all my friends phones , like screen , batteries , usb. And then at some point i was unable to. No parts , solidified design that prevents repairs , build in battery etc etc
