AirPods are the only wireless earbuds I've used that handle 2-way Bluetooth audio between multiple devices well. They also sound okay, although I have $20 wired IEMs I imported from Shenzen that are more comfortable and sound just as good.

I also think the iPad isn't terrible, although it's a bit on the expensive side.

As of about five years ago gccgo was slower for almost all workloads: https://meltware.com/2019/01/16/gccgo-benchmarks-2019.html

Yeah... I've gotten quotes with that kind of spread between "old man" bikes and very fast sport bikes. IIRC if you buy a cruiser or certain ADVs the insurance company expects to never hear from you with a claim, while certain sport bikes, the insurance expects you to total it within 18 months.

Mine is the SM, which is a little shorter, but is ultra-maneuverable, far more so than a normal street bike.

A 1300GS has significantly higher horsepower than an R6, variable valves so it pulls across the rev range, and yet still costs a fraction of an R6's insurance cost; it would appear that the riders have a much larger role in the premium than the engine.

Weirdly, an adventure bike with higher horsepower will have cheaper insurance than a race replica with less horsepower.

I got one for my birthday! What a great product. It does exactly what it says it does, and has no more complexity than required.

Not really. Outside of a few groups at places like Virginia Tech, motorcycle safety studies don't get much funding. Too niche.

You can use insurance rates as a loose proxy- sportbikes are between one and three orders of magnitude more expensive to insure than adventure bikes, touring bikes or cruisers. But I suspect that has more to do with the average age of the riders.

Sportbikes are lower, but they're not typical. Sportbikes sales trended way down over the past decade, with models being discontinued entirely in some regions. Current sporty-style bikes are generally more upright seating and share engines and platforms with non-sport models. Dual sport/off road bikes have trended upwards, even for riders who never go off pavement, because they're cheap to run and very practical as general purpose motorcycles. More recently, there's been a trend towards large touring bikes as well.

An F750GS and a DRZ400SM are my main bikes (out of an entire garage full of stuff). For trucks I'm talking about F-150s and similar.

When I am sitting on my motorcycle I am taller than most people's sitting position in their trucks. While filtering I can look down into their vehicles and see what they're doing on their phones.

There's no secure way to do that. You have no guarantee that the computer won't copy your key or keylog your password.

You can mitigate it by using an MFA method that requires confirming on a separate device like a phone, but that's down to one layer of defense.

I use an SSH app on my phone for remote access, and I go over a VPN. SSH is not exposed to the public internet.
