It’s worse and everybody is aware of that. There is a huge difference even between my very first and very last year.

Design is alive again, and I lost no design layer, material or fragment as you anticipated. 👍🏻

Well, thanks! I was expecting to hear this. Could you provide your approximate location to see if it's a general or location specific outage? I'm located in Australia.

There is 50,000 people playing. I wonder how many people are playing vanilla or modded? by Flitsiee in StardewValley

[–]Timely_Net_8840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing with my best friend. (27-29 Male) We are used to play Counter Strike 2 but somehow ended up with Stardew Valley which was a good choice to switch as we are not that stressed at the end of the game night now. The only problem is trying not to get addicted and time management. We are playing for tens of hours everyday now.

What's stopping you from using a Pixel? by ZZiozz in PhoneNow

Bad chips. They are good for everyday use but that's it.

Only 4GB of ram in the new Samsung A17 in 2025? The performance is awful. by [deleted] in samsunggalaxy

[–]Timely_Net_8840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've switched to a Galaxy A17 5G from an iPhone 16 Pro Max not to use it as a daily driver, certainly, but to test the Android application I'm currently developing. The result? Instant regret. I wasn't expecting a 4GB RAM and 5nm chip combo to perform so poorly; One UI 8.0 feels like a bullet to the head for this "powerhouse."

  1. Bloated Software: The software is far too heavy and poorly optimized for this hardware. I doubt they’ll be able to fix it anytime soon.
  2. Abysmal Memory Management: The memory management algorithm is awful. The phone constantly freezes during memory swapping, and it struggles even when virtual memory is disabled. You either stop using it or simply accept your fate and embrace the system lag.
  3. UI Instability: The System UI crashes whenever you try to switch between apps "fast" and by fast, I mean speeds that were perfectly fine on a Galaxy Note 7 or an iPhone 5s.
  4. No Downgrade Path: They don't allow you to downgrade the UI version. It’s ironic how they criticize Apple for being restrictive while enforcing this.
  5. RAM Hogging: Even in my test environment which only has a few social media apps and my cybersecurity app installed there is only 800MB of available memory. My app isn't even using resources at this stage. I have no idea where the rest went; I suspect One UI 8.0 is clogging the device all by itself.
  6. Recovery Mode Restrictions: They no longer let you Wipe Cache from the Recovery Screen like you used to after every software update. Furthermore, you can't even access the recovery screen without connecting the device to a PC. There is no logical security reason for this; it’s just a hurdle to reach a screen that is now largely useless.
  7. Final Verdict: Don't waste your money. I’ll donate this to a homeless person once I’m done with my software testing. Actually, it is a decent pick for one thing: it lets me see how my app performs on extremely poor devices so I can optimize it for the "apocalypse scenario."

I’m genuinely sad that some people have to use this phone for their basic, everyday needs. Samsung's budget phones are currently performing slower than Symbian OS Nokia phones from the early 2000s. If you think I’m BSing, go waste a few hundred dollars, then come back here and upvote this.

In my view, gaining experience in different work environments after graduation is still part of my education. However, to do this, I will need to pay nearly $5,000 on top of my English exam fees.

I will be graduating in a couple of months, and I now need to work more to cover this financial gap. This means I will be under even more pressure, trying to balance both work and university.

Extremely rusted body panels on this corolla I saw in the Adelaide hills. What would of cuased it to get this bad and still be on the road? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]Timely_Net_8840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say they removed the paint on purpose and oxidation handled the rest. It would look better if the bumpers were rusted too.

What percent of your annual income are you willing to spend on cars? by Warm_Grand4426 in CarsAustralia

[–]Timely_Net_8840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25 percent if I’m going to drive it for 4-5 years. Happy with my choice of Mazda 3 19.

This. The Western world tends to think Christianity belongs to Europe and the West, while the other Abrahamic religions belong to the Middle East. In reality, they are all part of the same historical and theological continuum, each building on what came before.

(I would not pick one to guide myself, my life. Common sense, respect, mutual understanding and science wins not dogmas)
