I am the IT department, but have had mostly good experiences with FOSS stuff, although you do need to vet the licensing: Not all licenses will allow for a company or institution to use it.

Also, you need to make sure it will work reliably, doesn’t pose any security risks, etc. but that should always be SOP for any software FOSS or proprietary, free or paid. If a tech department isn’t vetting stuff, then they’ve already fucked up before deploying anything.

FOSS isn’t necessarily bad in an enterprise environment though, sometimes it’s even the best possible option (most web servers run some version of Linux, for example).

There’s also Greenshot if people dislike the built in stuff, it’s free, open source, and works pretty well.

It depends on how the app you were using was written. If it was written correctly, it’ll work, if not, blame the company that made it (especially when it’s Microsoft themselves!).

Power Toys has a feature that will force it to work in every app, I highly recommend it! There’s all sorts of helpful features in Power Toys.

I read it as that electric dirtbike in particular is obscure, but yeah, limited capacity is a deal breaker for a lot of folks. The trade off is more capacity = more weight, and the less nimble the bike becomes.

One day when we get better energy density with less weight, we’ll have some really insane electric dirtbikes capable of some really impressive stuff.

Power Toys FTW!

I can believe it: Stuff like this is not very well advertised to users so tons of useful shortcuts go unused regularly.

Bonus hotkeys:

WIN + X will also bring up a more helpful menu and allow you to do things like shut down, restart, sleep the computer using only a few keystrokes instead of clicking around.

WIN + right or left arrow will snap the screen to one side or the other, WIN + up maximizes, WIN + down will minimize

CTRL + SHIFT + V in Windows pastes without formatting

Get a Sunklock Chemical: Even if a thief tries to cut through it, they’re not going to finish lol

Are you fucking kidding me?

Smart move not getting them a monster scooter

Damn, was your son ok?

Ha! Right you are Ken!

Now over to Guy LeDouche with Sinkers and Floaters!

Oh, different Ken?

Sorry.

Sounds like that could get sketchy fast, you ever crash?

Now I’m wondering if both things happened and they were two separate people from Segway…

Here’s the cliff guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimi_Heselden

He just bought the company though, he wasn’t the inventor.

Either way, damn.

I thought it was the CEO but yeah, wild stuff: Accidentally rode off a cliff if I recall correctly.

That is unquestionably safer, but PPE is still a great idea.

Motorcycle shops will likely happily sell you gear, but be wary of Harley lol - they are like the Snap-On of motorcycles in terms of cost.

Micromobility includes motorcycles though they aren’t as popular as ebikes lately.

Brands may also vary by market so if you mention if you’re in UK, US, EU, CN or whatever, that might help in terms of vendor and brand suggestions.

Not familiar with the tires on that bike, but it might not be a bad idea to have some inserts in those tires to help prevent a catastrophic blowout at speed. I use Tannus Armour in my efatbike, it reduces the range but protects from flats and provides limited run-flat capability.

Maintain your bike meticulously, because an accident at that speed can be life altering or even fatal. Be safe!

You don’t say…

What bike and what tires?

I’d go with full SNELL/DOT/ECE rated gear though, dress for the slide and all that.

Be careful of the sellers you go with too, Amazon sellers may or may not be reputable but some have been known to sell expired gear (helmets have a shelf life), used gear as new (never buy used safety gear), or outright counterfeit gear that will not keep you safe.

Quality safety gear has saved my life, it is not worth taking chances with.

Oh yeah, they work just fine, as long as you charge them anyways lol. I just like the idea of never worrying about a battery, ever.
