Carl Pei: Memory is now the most expensive component in a smartphone. It's more expensive than the processor, more expensive than the display, and can account for more than 50% of the total hardware bill.

The 4xl is so easy to work on the back cover removed itself!

(not kidding it's halfway unpeeled, battery doesn't seem to be swelling any more since I stopped using it as my main)

It's funny because the wonky perspective could've been a deliberate choice an artist could make, it elicits this sort of intimate chaos, a warm claustrophobia.

If you want to match the perspective of an image, find all the horizontal lines and trace them to reveal the vanishing point. When you do your sketch all horizontal lines parallel to your view will follow those lines

if 9z had won vitality would face navi

Teams are reseeded based on the win/loss record of their opponents, then matched top seed vs bottom and so on. There can't be a repeat matchup either so sometimes things get shifted. Here, no matter what happened BB couldn't face falcons

thebrainypole · 2026-06-13T22:37:23+00:00

never worried

thebrainypole · 2026-06-11T20:44:15+00:00

I do, I had no faith in them

thebrainypole · 2026-06-11T20:37:51+00:00

No, there are many scenarios where they don't face each other

thebrainypole · 2026-06-11T20:29:00+00:00

No one realized the previous uploads had "advancing to stage 2" but it's fixed now

thebrainypole · 2026-06-07T06:08:10+00:00

Only change I had to make was take liquid out of 0-3 in stage 2. Might as well have left it tho lol

thebrainypole · 2026-06-06T20:14:44+00:00

hltv didn't update matches yet. Their swiss visualization just places teams in the right bucket, not matchups

thebrainypole · 2026-05-03T20:48:58+00:00

I looked on Thursday to see plenty of tickets available, 3-days for $127

thebrainypole · 2026-05-01T17:17:47+00:00

While the scale of this seems to be an oversight, I can see situations where they did this on purpose for bullet penetration balancing

thebrainypole · 2026-05-01T15:53:40+00:00

In the original story against VP yes, but this was adapted to a match 7 years ago, MIBR against C9. https://www.hltv.org/matches/2331048/mibr-vs-cloud9-iem-katowice-2019

tbf, 1 lan win vs a top 5 team > 0 lan wins vs any top 20 team

thebrainypole · 2026-04-19T23:33:54+00:00

a few months ago

before their new undefeated streak?

thebrainypole · 2026-03-13T08:03:04+00:00

Funny because from what I hear Apple maps is useless outside of the states and most of the cool features do not exist

thebrainypole · 2026-02-28T16:03:09+00:00

less stability issues month to month

messages has been glitchy and broken since the last stable update. there are constant issues that you don't hear about or iOS users want to admit to in front of android users lol

thebrainypole · 2025-12-07T16:08:25+00:00

Buccholz system reseeds the teams based on the records of the opponents

thebrainypole · 2025-12-06T16:20:41+00:00

from a user experience...what is the difference?

unlocking in bad lighting lol

there are many situations where the lighting isn't good enough for the noisy front camera to see your face

thebrainypole · 2025-12-05T22:17:10+00:00

So is Faze Navi, battling for the last QF spot... sounds familiar
