I know John from way before he started DSOGaming or english articles. I do not agree that he is particularly clickbaity, nor do I agree that he does 0 reasearch on his articles. I am not reading DSOG often, but I remember a lot of well written and researched articles from him
I have a TrueNAS server at home and thought I could easily connect it to my phone (Pixel 7) as a network drive but was surprised to learn that Android doesn’t have a built in feature for that....
I had the S8+ and moved to an S23 Ultra, the difference is huge to be honest. The S9 surely is better in that regard thanks to the extra gb of RAM, but still you will see a big difference compared to an S24 Ultra (which doesn't mean that you phone isn't perfect for your needs as is)
They are great for taking your sweat away from your body. The problem is they also get you skin oils as well, which is why the smell a lot more than cotton for example that only holds onto the water part of your sweat
Personally, I love merino wool t-shirts. Try one out, a summer one that is thin
It really is super impressive though. There are only a handful of fabs internationally and I think all of them outside of China use machinery made from 1 company only for advanced processes.
Since at least 15 years ago, a ton of SMS were included in the contract or add-on packages for your phone, and data were much more expensive comparatively. In my country specifically, unlimited data has only been a thing for 1-2 years, and we have cheap data for less than 5-7 years. But we always had something like 1.500 SMS included in even the cheapest contracts for 10+ years
Envision Entertainment is sending out emails for the closed beta even if you didnt get a key. I guess they're letting you know its started but at the same time its letting people know they also didnt get a key if they didnt get another email. Bit strange to make people feel excluded I must admit....
The language has nothing to do with what you describe in your last paragraph. There are a lot of reasons what that was happening, and using Java is not one of them. Just the openess of the OS and how it was written was enough to justify such a difference vs a closed OS with a fraction of the possibilities
Also Android is not using just Java, otherwise you would be able to run any normal Java app without "hacks"
That makes sense. Companies in Greece VERY rarely pay for staff training (and only in technology fields when this happens), the training programs of OAED (Greek ‘Organisation for the Employment of the Workforce') are usually laughably bad, as are the majority of public IEKs (Institutes of Vocational Training), no one wants to invest money in personal improvement when they can barely get by....
Unfortunately, the numbers are very realistic, and very sad...
How is performance with modern hardware? Would love to play it again, but I remember having a lot of issues with the PC version a decade ago through steam

I really like the concept of having to build a city with defined production lines (e.g. hay to animal farm to tanner to clothes to soldier production), need to feed your people and troops in a tavern, battles etc

You can already guess the third sentence: the servers have been a disaster at launch, with players forced to queue for long periods just to play alone, if they can manage to play at all. It currently sits "Mostly Negative" reviews on Steam - that's 31% positive after almost 19,000 reviews....
It's not that they try to reinvent the wheel, it is that they allocate resources for X amount of players that they expect on a daily basis, and on launch they get 5X players. So everything crashes
One of the big winners of the Unity debacle is the free and open source Godot Engine, which has seen its funding soar to a much more impressive level as Unity basically gave them free advertising.

It's been a clear decade since the last entry in this co-op crimeathon FPS series, so I was interested to play Payday 3.

A statement from a Google employee, Dov Zimring, has been released as a part of the FTC vs Microsoft court case (via 9to5Google). Only minorly redacted, the statement gives us a run down of Google's position leading up to Stadia's closure and why, ultimately, Stadia was in a death spiral long before its actual demise....
