      There is plenty of different Booleans for those situations, but there’s not many new inventions in the last 5 years.

        There is in bikes.

        I didn’t really want to get into details of the particular thing that prompted this post, because then there’s going to be too many people posting suggestions they think are helpful, and that would be missing the point. Suffice it to say that I’m cobbling together pieces from YouTube, forum posts, and old Reddit threads that, IMO, I would expect to see more consolidated. In times past, I think it would be. I do think I’ll get there in the end, but it feels much harder to get everything together than it used to be.

          Other than more brands and types of e-bikes? Most have existed for quite a while, just not at a consumer level.

          And e-bikes are just circuits, or otherwise proprietary components. You’re gonna be following manufacturer guides, or likely videos, so use site results to specify.

              A gear shift is a gear shift, a brake is a brake, a motor is a motor…. Sounds like your ignorance is the issue here. A fridge with new tech is… is still a fridge, if it has a screen, well there’s ways to diagnose a screen, and ways to test the leads between them. The information IS there.

              The tech isn’t new dude, you just can’t figure out how to find the information and want it spoon fed to you, you don’t want to learn. You want stuff on a silver platter, and you’re exactly why Google has shifted this route. Wow.

              Google is and has always had features to help wade through crap, the main page is what the masses “want”. Within that tool is advanced features to further help those that want different results (what you want). Can’t have your cake and eat it too mate. Learn to use the decades old advanced tools, and stop whinging.
