How do you decide how much to spend on a car?

I live 20 minutes on a bike from work. So I never really needed a car other than some annoying times like a bad winter day, or when I want to have an impromptu plan with friends or go on a vacation. Now I have saved around 100,000kr. But I am really confused on how much I should spend on a car. I can buy a used car under 100,000kr paying the full amount in cash. And my salary is also good enough to afford a loan on cars like Ioniq 6 or Tesla model 3. I would prefer to have an EV just on principle. And I can get a used EV on loan with whatever is the going interest rate or I can buy a new one where a lot of time they offer 0% interest loans. But then there's also insurance and other costs to consider. It's all so confusing. I am single and live alone, no kids. On one hand I want to continue saving money and investing but at the same time it feels unnecessary to work so hard to make a good salary and still live a frugal life.

So my question is, how do you decide how much money you want to spend on a car?

Investing in property or stock market?

I live on rent in Aarhus. I have been investing in the stock market and ETFs using my aktiesparekonto. Now I have enough savings outside my aktiesparekonto to put a down payment on a 2-3 million apartment or a house. I don't really mind moving a little outside of the city as long as it's a quiet crime free neighborhood. But doing some research, I am reading how the property prices have increased dramatically in the last 2 years. With more push towards building new social housing and other construction projects, it is not expected for the property prices to increase more than 4% annually. Do you agree with this opinion? And in that case, isn't it better to just continue living on rent and keep investing in the stock market since the returns are much better? Especially with the government's plan of increasing aktiesparekonto limit to 500,000kr. Or is this all speculation and still property investment is the best type of investment?

Flashing crosspoint on e paper development board?

I just found this development while trying to buy xteink or Murphy e reader. Has anyone considered or tried buying one of these development boards and flashing crosspoint on it? Isn't xteink also just a development board like this with a 3d printed case on it?

Can I add spare parts to my 13 pro preorder?

I want to buy some spare parts with my 13 pro order so that I don't have to pay shipping when I need it later. For example a thermal pad. I would also like to have an extra keyboard module with a different layout so that I can hot swap when needed. But I don't see any options to do that. The website doesn't allow this on existing pre order. And if I add the parts to the cart and try to order, it creates a separate order with shipping charges.

Is it possible to do this by contacting customer service?

If yes, then why is it not possible directly from the website?

Places to visit in Sweden on SJ trains from Malmo

I travelled to Abisko last winter for northern lights. Unfortunately my train was stuck in the middle of nowhere for 20 hours. Because of this I got a coupon voucher from SJ as compensation. This year I was planning to hike a few mountains in Sweden. I saw that Jamtaland triangle is a famous hike and also found trains tickets available to get there on SJ app. Then I decided to do the full Sylarna circuit and booked hotels accordingly. When I finally started booking the train, I realized none of the trains on the route are actually SJ trains. And if there is no SJ train in the journey, I can't use the voucher. Since I have already booked the hotels, I will anyways book my train to storulvan. But I was wondering where else I can go in Sweden to use the voucher? I can either add it to my Sylarna visit in september or i can also plan a completely separate itinerary since the voucher expires in December and I will have 2 more months after september. I have already been to all the big cities.

Why are there only like 3 reviews of 13 pro on YouTube?

Since the embargo was lifted and the first review of 13 pro we got was MKBHD, I was really happy to see big YouTubers reviewing 13 pro and was expecting to see many more. But since then apart from Linus and Just Josh, I don't see any new reviews on 13 pro. Does anyone know why?

Making a case for buying 32gb RAM at whatever price framework offers instead of accepting 16gb downgrade

As someone who was also affected by this downgrade, I've spent a lot of time thinking about this and I feel it's still better to buy the 32gb RAM at whatever price instead of accepting 16gb.

And if you can source 32gb LPCAMM2 from a 3rd party, tou shouldn't even think about it.

My whole argument is based on the resale value of RAM. I feel the people who ordered 64gb and we're downgraded to 32gb will still be able to resell their 32gb RAM if and when they decide to upgrade. But since dual channel LPCAMM2 doesn't exist, it'll be very difficult to get rid of your 16gb RAM if you decide to upgrade later. If framework ordered the new RAM at double the price in Q2 and they expect the prices to go up even more in Q4, I don't see the points of accepting 16gb

A weird question about Seroquel

I know nothing about Seroquel and today is the first time I've ever seen its name but I found out about it in a very strange situation. So I have a few questions if someone can help. I was walking on a sidewalk and saw two thrown away strips of some type of tablet. While I was walking on I noticed there are still 2-3 tablets in the pack. I found it weird that someone would throw it away and so I went ahead and checked the name out of curiosity. Turns out it's for schizophrenia and bipolar and sometimes used for insomnia at lower doses. And an actual prescription from a doctor can range anywhere between 25mg to 800mg. So that makes it even more confusing. It's 25mg Seroquel, 10 tablets in each strip. And they weren't expired. So I immediately started thinking about all the crazy possibilities. So first of all I want to know if someone is prescribed 500mg, are there 500mg tablets or do they just eat 20 tablets? Or is it just people getting high? If 25mg can help with insomnia then how do patients who are prescribed 500mg, 800mg even function? And my biggest worry, could it be spiking the drink kind of situation? Should I contact the Police or am I being too paranoid and I should just forget about it?
