2027 Motorola Signature with GrapheneOS will be the best phone on the market

Top notch screen, cameras, battery life, charging speeds, build quality, chipset, with respectable repairability AND the freedom to actually OWN the device and be private and secure. What more could you ask for? This should be the norm really, but we really are living in a dystopian black mirror type of world. Very excited for this, things were looking bleak with Google's iron fist over Android and we do not have Linux on mobile yet in a usable enough state, this move from Motorola definitely helps, can't wait to switch to it from this Pixel 9 pro which does not have the best hardware (Tensor really sucks)

Porsche fanboys are by far the most insane meatriders I have ever seen, worse than Supra kids or the Tesla fanboys

This is the only company where I actually see unpaid individuals unironically parrot their marketing "Porsche, there is no substitute" slogan like this. Imagine if people hyped up McDonald's with the "I'm lovin it" slogan, and how ridiculous that would look. The fanboys think it is the best car in the history of cars, they would literally choose a shitty base model carrera with more plastic in the interior than Kim K's ass over a Koenigsegg. They literally do free marketing for Porsche in a way that is so exaggerated and over the top it is insane. If they could replace F1 cars with bloated heavy 992 911s they would.

Excluding the GT3 they sound like vacuum cleaners yet they hate on EVs for being soulless.

Honestly more insufferable than the Tesla and Supra fanboys to me, hell, look at the comments of carwow drag race videos on youtube, you will see way more of this Porsche meatriding nonsense than with Tesla. Even if the Porsche gets dusted the narrative goes from "wow the engineering on this god of a car" to "well it only has 650hp so it is still the best for performing this well".

Which is the most repairable electric bike?

Big advocate for right to repair, and the buy it for life mentality, which bike is it easiest/cheapest to do a battery replacement on? Like as in replacing the electric motor? I don't intend on using the bike as a primary vehicle so I am willing to entertain dirt bikes too like the stark varg or full blown motorcycles like the Zero SR/S. Won't be offroading much but would be a nice to have, but ultimately I do want it to be easy enough to repair so it does not end up as e-waste at some point while I am forced to move onto something else.
