Looking back at my [previous post] , I thought that it would be a mandatory thing to do, just to safeguard you from playing complete junk. We’ll start with the good things.

[yes, it is nicely arranged, and all genre requirements are met as they should be] Quite a “large” list of PROS, huh?

Previously it can be done by means of [SAI application] . MIUI optimizations should be turned off in the Developer settings, but with new autocratic and restrictive Android versions > 15 it just disappeared. Luckily we have a nice workaround. Developer options should be turned on. At the very bottom there should be a section called Autofill. Tap multiple times on setting Reset to default values. Turn off system optimization.

Back in time i was fond of [Jet’n’Guns game series] and i decided to find something similar and solid. Because i just can’t stand gameplay disbalance, repetition and greed of Sky Force Reloaded.

[Empire Ears Raven] scored around 90% of [Sennheiser Orpheus HE-1] top of the crop electrostatic hi-end earphones. Not a bad result for portable devices considering substantial difference in the price and size! I totally understand that it is a synthetic comparison, but at least now i have understanding approximate audio quality of my setup versus top-notch professional hardware.

Before covid, before f#cking wars, before all these politics sh#t of recent days a great movie [The Platform] was filmed. This creation precisely shows the barebone framework of the countries with autocratic regimes, where ruler is not changed for years. Also it brings high ethical and philosophical topics for thought to the table. Tremendously solid acting, and intriguing story line hold you in a tension right till the end of the video narration.

For the very life of me i cannot comprehend why most of commercial websites look like pale and completely uninteresting sh#t? What could possibly be worse than a look of utterly boring template for a chosen framework? A simple question keeps wandering through my mind: Why were the 80s and 90s characterized by such vivid colors, whereas nowadays we lack them at all? I am unable to grasp the primary concept and put it together.

Full-fledged cameraphone benchmarks are aimed on screens > 1280px width. So almost any desktop or laptop should be fine. Smartphones are not supported, in favor of pixel-peeping convenience. CURRENTLY TEST IS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR MOBILE VIEW! IMAGE WIDTH > 1280px IS RECOMMENDED! ▒ DIRECT COMPARISON Today’s rival is [Huawei Pura 80 Ultra] , equipped with nearly the same sensor size on its periscope camera as found in Nokia 808.

Here are some fresh screens from the development fields featuring improved GUI and overall ergonomics with dark/light theme and custom cursor. Currently there is no any github repo because i work on the project locally. Maybe in the upcoming future i will share the source code online.

Let’s quickly compare results from the most popular AI chatbots to estimate approximate real life picture. I think that weighted average would do the thing here.
