The most important components in an Android phone for gaming are the processor, RAM, and thermal management. The Snapdragon 8 Elite series and MediaTek's Dimensity series are recommended for processors, while 8GB of RAM is a good middle ground. Proper thermal management is crucial for sustained performance during gaming sessions.

Bill Gates’s ‘kind lesson’ that Windows developer, now a billionaire, took to Sea when he built his $500 million Yacht

Gabe Newell, co-founder of Valve, created a custom-built superyacht named Leviathan, delivered by Oceanco. The 364-foot yacht features a glass wall etched with the names of nearly 3,000 contributors, honoring the collaborative effort behind its creation. Leviathan includes luxurious amenities like a 10-meter swimming pool and operates as a sophisticated oceanic base, equipped with a dive and scientific workstation, a laboratory, and 3D printing capabilities. The yacht also has an entertainment lounge optimized for holographic displays and a soundproof suite for music and video editing.

I ran a single command and found more garbage on my Windows 11 drive than Storage Sense cleaned all month

On Windows 11, the Storage Sense feature can reclaim space by cleaning user-level files, such as temporary data, items in the Recycle Bin, files in the Downloads folder, and cached OneDrive copies. It recently reclaimed approximately 1.67GB of space in one morning and a total of 10.2GB over the past month with default settings. Storage Sense only activates when the storage drive is nearing capacity unless the user adjusts the schedule. It can be configured to run daily, weekly, or monthly, and users can set parameters for emptying the Recycle Bin and deleting files in the Downloads folder. However, Storage Sense does not clean the entire drive or access the Windows component store, which holds outdated system files. The component store was found to contain approximately 11.84GB of data that Storage Sense cannot clean up. The total size of the component store is 20.14GB, with a significant portion comprising backups and disabled features. Users may need additional cleaning tools to manage the data that Storage Sense cannot address.

Ashly Burch, voice of Horizon’s Aloy and star of Mythic Quest, is currently obsessed with Slay the Spire 2 and thinks videogames have too many stoic characters: ‘I want more sh*tty little b*tches’

Ashly Burch began her gaming journey with a Donkey Kong knockoff on her mother's typing practice computer and was significantly influenced by LucasArts' Day of the Tentacle. She gained recognition through the online sketch show Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin' and is known for her voice roles as Tiny Tina in Borderlands 2, Chloe in Life is Strange, Parvati Holcomb in The Outer Worlds, and Aloy in Guerrilla Games' Horizon series. Burch is currently working on a YouTube comedy series called I'm Happy You're Here, which aims to make mental health discussions more accessible. She is currently playing The Incident at Galley House, a detective game, and has uninstalled Fields of Mistria after spending many hours on it. Her Steam Deck still has Kentucky Route Zero installed, a game she hasn't finished due to its abstract nature. Burch has logged 270 hours in Slay the Spire and considers League of Legends, especially its ARAM mode, a game she will never uninstall. She uses Audacity for voice auditions and maintains a tidy desktop to support her creative process.
