Oh and yep God said you’re not allowed to drink alcohol /s

He was pretty clear in Quran on that topic.

Not just license. You also need to link to it as a shared library and allow users to replace it with their own build of the library. Meaning you can't use stuff like DRM and anticheats.

Google-certified Android TV devices aren't known to receive security updates either.

Algorithm favors videos that are highly upvoted or downvoted. Anything that gets emotion/reaction out of you - doesn't matter whether positive or negative - is brought to the top.

Kaspersky is closely tied to Russian government. The dude himself (founder and CEO) has a government position as one of Putin's advisors or something. Also he believes that anonymity should be purged from the internet, and every user should be personally indentified, enforced by the government. In the name of "security", of course.

Isn't this how series production works normally? If they wait until it airs then production will be interrupted for too long and they can't / don't want to do it for logistical/contract reasons or whatever. Real decision whether to continue happens when greenlighting season 3, based on season 1 reception.

It's shitty code bound. Sometimes no matter how powerful your hardware is, software will perform poorly because it just doesn't scale. Writing complex software like game so that it can fully utilize current hardware AND actually run faster with better CPU/GPU can become very difficult once a certain complexity threshold is reached. It's easy enough to do for a small linear game even if it has exceptional graphics, but an open world sandbox game like ones that Bethesda makes is a completely different story.

That doesn't mean that it's impossible of course - Bethesda absolutely should have made a better job, but it's by no means an easy task.

This happens on most Android phones, including my Google Pixel with 8gb of RAM. I noticed that it starts doing this when battery drops below 50%. Which is weird because it surely takes more resources (and thus drains more battery) to cold start an app every time instead of just keeping it in memory (provided that app doesn't do anything nefarious in background which is easy to detect). There is plenty of RAM for that.

It's not outlook, it's reality. Russian leadership doesn't have the will or incentive to expend billions launching dozens of missions to perfect the technology and learn from their mistakes like USSR did back in 60s (in fact USSR was launching them several times a year and there were many more Lunar missions them than official "24" number. Failures were simply not reported to the public like now).

They wanted a quick way to somewhat repair Russian patriots' pride in their country by reminding them that Russia was "first in space" and so they are superior to the filthy westerners. That failed so they will just instruct propaganda machine to distract people with something else (plenty of that around) and move on.

In a decade or so there will be some other political cause to remember about space exploration and next mission will be funded. Of course there is no way to for engineers to learn from their mistakes and accumulate the necessary experience when it's done this way.

Hopefully this doesn’t set them back too much

Well so far they have been doing these missions once in a decade and none of them succeeded. So see you in another 10 years I guess.

Manned lunar lander is a mich complex piece of technology which needs to be developed from scratch. It also needs a much more powerful rocket which Russia don't have either. It's at least a decade of extra R&D time even if they get all the funding they need and magically get rid of corruption (which obviously won't happen).

It's unmanned not because they chose it but because they are literally incapable of making a manned mission (at the very least for a couple of generations).

Not only standard itself, but also low quality implementations both in hardware and software. And while major OSes' BT stacks continue to gradually improve over time they won't help you if you Bluetooth hardware or device you are trying to connect to (again both hardware and software) are trash. It's a curse of every open standard, no matter how good or bad it is by itself - there always will be shitty implementations. And if there are a lot of them (like in case of BT) then majority of them will be shitty.
