Watch “The Handmaid’s Tale” excellent TV series. Happens in good ol’ America but you’ll get the idea.

I’d prefer they worked on running Android apps on regular Linux.

Ha ! Good joke.

Nice writeup. I was surprised by the lack of performance of the Bevy solution, especially the fact that it didn’t scale. In fact I was a bit saddened Bevy has no existing way it doing fast whole-objects collision detection.

This was a bit of an odd comparison because, while the Ryzen 7 9700X and Core i7-14700K are priced as direct competitors, we wouldn’t actually recommend buying either. The 14700K is priced at around $380, and the Ryzen 9700X is $340, but right now there are two other CPU alternatives that make far more sense.

If you’re seeking the best gaming performance, it makes more sense to spend a little extra and get the 7800X3D. However, that’s easier said than done, as availability is currently very poor.

So in the event that the 7800X3D isn’t available, you can save money and opt for the 7700X, which you can grab for just $250 on Amazon, making it up to 26% cheaper than the 9700X. This is a much better deal for roughly the same level of gaming performance, regardless of the operating system, Windows 10 included.

Hey. You’re describing me.

TL;DR: NAMBLA, it sucked.

Note that this advice doesn’t work for SSDs. The little bastards hate being powered off for too long. They prefer always-on to have their self-correcting routines work continuously.

Say what ?!? Is this real ?
