PayPal Pay In 4, Paypal 12 months (sometimes), Amazon Affirm, all no interest. Unless you miss the payment. Then bend over for it. Interests rates vary from 8 percent to 32 percent retroactive, depending on who you get it through. I’ve used BNPL several times, but always made sure I can afford the payment in the monthly budget, and only when it is zero interest.

The speed difference is double, but you will only really notice if you’re pushing something memory intensive like a game of Factorio, a video render, or an AI model.

Mine’s 5th gen, so it’s bigger than the one he’s got.
Mine’s also stick. 5th gen (2017-2023) is the last gen with the manual. Other than the WRX and the BRZ, all the new ones are auto only.
Also, 155k, still on the OG 5 speed. Had to put new center diff (limited slip component was not limiting slip properly), but otherwise still good. Yes it has gearwhine, it’s had it for 100k miles now.

Ironically, my 2018 Subaru is more mechanical than this. 2/3 dials are mechanical, cable-driven flaps / valve for heat and vent control. Only the fan is an electric dial.

OCR is a very, very old AI system that for decades we’ve scanned documents and saved to pdf with. The old system is far from perfect, but it does work well enough in most cases. If an AI recognition model can do the same job with less mistakes, that is an improvement.
