This has nothing to do with guilt from 80 years ago. What are you even on about?

This is being done because Scholz is a spineless wimp, trying to appease the far-right in an attempt to steal back votes from the AfD (which will not work and will only further alienate the SPDs voter base). It’s a political move and the people being deported are being used as pawns.

The 840 uses different firmware to the 520 and you can’t disable the VP at all. You can however access the file system as you described, so my workaround was to edit the XML files for the map themes and make the arrow for the virtual partner 100% transparent. The VP is still running of course, but that does fix most of my gripes with it.

I’ll have to check if I can do something similar for the sounds, but I’m not sure it will be possible since it’s just a beeper and I don’t imagine there are ordinary sound files that can be edited.

I have a Garmin Edge 840 bike computer and I do like it (more than the Wahoo ELMNT Bolt v2 I had before), but man some of the design decisions are just baffling to me.

Like why can’t I have tones for my notifications (for refuelling), without also having them for navigation? And why do notifications close themselves after 5 seconds? I always miss them because I either have the tones silenced and happen to be looking where I’m going instead of my head unit when they pop up, or I have the tones on I miss them because the navigation tones are so obnoxious I just learn to ignore all the sounds.

And why can’t I disable the virtual partner, and why the hell is the arrow on the map for the virtual partner bigger than the one that represents the actual rider?

All you’ve said is that it’s fine because you can run Windows 10 on old hardware, but somehow being able to run a fully supported version of macOS isn’t good enough.

The point was that Windows is the same.

Apple supports current macOS plus the previous two. If he’s on one of those ( which it sounds like) everything will work just fine.

There are videos on youtube that can help. Tom Scott did one where he learns to ride a bike as an adult. He seemed to get the hang of it pretty quickly.

Do it. I took up cycling last year (although I learned as a kid) and now it’s literally my favourite thing to do ever. I’m also the fittest I’ve ever been.

Drugs are honestly pretty meh. I’m not saying they can’t be fun and or that they are evil or anything, but I feel like you are seriously overhyping them.

I used to a lot of drugs and lots of different kinds too. Sure I had fun and I don’t massively regret it. But since I quit all drugs (including alcohol) several years ago I really have to say there are plenty of other things in life that are just as fun as drugs, if not much more so. There’s only so much you can experience with drugs and it gets old fast.
