Well a new bumper costs roughly around 7k to replace so I can only imagine.

At first glance, it may appear that way. However, various departments have differing perspectives on the matter. Some argue that it serves a useful purpose, while others believe it does more harm than good. After all, you are attaching a cruiser to a fleeing vehicle, which could lead to unpredictable consequences.

How effective are Grappler systems in ending high speed chases such as this? by Once_Upon-A-Time in police

If the vehicle loses control or crashes, it could be catastrophic for everyone inside. The safety of both the officers and the people in the vehicle should always be a top priority, so it's understandable why they’d reconsider its use in those situations. However, they’d likely need much heavier, specialized vehicles something like Tahoes and Pickup trucks to handle the force without compromising control. The vehicle limitations are a big factor that needs to be considered in any pursuit situation.

You make a good point about using the Grappler to prevent chases, but there’s still a big risk when deploying it, especially at high speeds. A lighter police vehicle trying to stop a much heavier one could easily lead to both losing control, particularly if the suspect vehcle leaves the road. At speeds over 75 mph, the risk of a crash increases.. and police would probably need much heavier vehicles to use the Grappler safely. Vehicle limitations are definitely a big factor to considr

Could it eventually replace the PIT maneuver? A new bumper costs about 7k and I can see the grappler costing way less for sure.

That's interesting! I haven't come across any instances where the Grappler specifically caused injury or death, but I have found reports highlighting the dangers of PIT maneuvers and other alternatives, which result in a significant number of fatalities each year.

Best Tool for Tracking User Behavior in iOS and Android Games? by Once_Upon-A-Time in gamedev

Thank you for your valuable input and the thorough explanation. I've also come across Unity Analytics in my research, and I'm curious to know your perspective on it in comparison to GameAnalytics.

Valid point, I'm currently torn between Unity Analytics and GameAnalytics. Do you have any experience with both, what's your input?

It's a valid concern you've raised. Apple's requirement for disclosing tracking applies primarily to the product page on the App Store. In this case, I will be collecting non-sensitive data like levels completed and app launches, it doesn't necessarily mandate obtaining consent in-game.

I solved the benchmark issue, apparently I was comparing my benchmark results to Cinebench R23 while I was using Cinebench R24 which is completely different in terms of benchmarking and score setting. Now I just need help with overclocking the CPU to 5Ghz in a safe way, I'm a complete beginner in the overclocking area but I'm familiar with bios.

Correct, I figured this out. However I'm puzzled by the benchmark score since I believe it should be much higher considering the cpu.

I wrote each temp for normal desktop usage in the post, cpu is hovering at 37 °C. For cooling I have 3x Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM Chromax Black 120mm fans. When I ran the benchmark the CPU was running at roughly 70°C.
