PVY Z20 Plus review: An inexpensive and powerful e-bike with great features bar one major flaw

PVY Z20 Plus review: An inexpensive and powerful e-bike with great features bar one major flaw

Powerful fully-equipped off-road bike. The Z20 Plus is PVY's new foldable bike which is also supposed to be suitable for off-road use. We observed: The model is comfortable to ride, but it could run into some legal issues depending on where you are based. Update: Do not purchase PVY bicycles. They are not EN 15194-compliant and thus not legal to ride in the EU. Returning one will be difficult to do, too.

PVY Z20 Pro review: Convincing, extremely affordable and foldable e-bike with potential for improvement

PVY Z20 Pro review: Convincing, extremely affordable and foldable e-bike with potential for improvement

Very cheap and well equipped. With the Z20 Pro, the manufacturer PVY offers a new foldable bike with an electric motor at a really competitive price. Our everyday test shows that the manufacturer delivers a strong overall package, but the low price requires compromises in several areas. Update: Do not purchase PVY bicycles. They are not EN 15194-compliant and thus not legal to ride in the EU. Returning one will be difficult to do, too.

Tennessee legislators pass ELVIS act to block use of a person’s voice as well as technologies that reproduce a person’s voice without permission

Tennessee legislators have passed the ELVIS (Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security) Act into law to counter the troubling ease of which AI technologies can replicate a person’s voice. This Act protects each person’s voice with civil remedies since it is now a Class A misdemeanor to use or replicate voices without authorization.

Alienware m18 R2 laptop review: Jumping from Core i9-13980HX to i9-14900HX

90% Alienware m18 R2 laptop review: Jumping from Core i9-13980HX to i9-14900HX

Sideways step for the series. It may be called the Alienware m18 R2, but it's more like the Alienware m18 R1.1. The CPU and GPU perform identically to last year's model for no major year-over-year improvements. Save yourself a few hundred dollars by opting for the m18 R1 version instead.
