Its not a bad lock. My new hobby is lockpicking so I'll always take an interest in any locks mentioned on boards.

Provided you have enough meat in the locking system to prevent the lock being attacked with bolt cutters you've done about as much as you can. Very few thieves if any will look at a lock in terms of how easy it is to pick (unless its stupid easy).

If you lost the key and called out a locksmith they would just cut it off with an angle grinder ;-)

a sturdy U-lock is fine for a cheapish run-around bike - there's so many nice bikes locked up with crap cable locks, bike thieves will generally go for whatever is the quickest to remove. Crap-looking bike with a half decent lock is as theft proof as you can get, just make sure to lock up next to a better looking bike with a worse lock.

personally I wouldn't lock a decent bike on the street in Dublin with any type of lock; even if the lock is really resistant to attack you run the risk that some gurrier will have a go anyway and damage the bike in the process (or just steal your components).

@Seattle I'd be surprised if it would take that long for the phone to be delivered. The other thread is a no chat thread. It's decent value for a budget phone and you can check the specs on Kilmovil.

I'd hope it wouldn't take that long but there's no guarantee I suppose.

I doubt that somehow unless you're comparing it to an iPhone 17

If i recall the antutu was about 240

Those fones are fine for general use. Looks like the res might be low and 5G? , it has NFC

It's those things I'd be checking on cheaper fones

my wife has a xiaomi redmi (note 12) and it’ll be the last xiaomi phone we buy.. constant issues with it, from alarms not going off, to frequent and now consistent issues with any form of online purchase that requires verification
