I won't say exactly where I live, but I live in a war zone, and I can 100% assure you I'm a civilian.

I've known about Meshtastic for a long time, but I only started looking into it in more detail this morning and was amazed by its capabilities.

Question: How quickly would I be arrested in the situation I'm in if I build this thing and use it? Given the constant use of electronic warfare and signal intelligence (SIGINT) systems.

I basically resigned myself to the situation, I simply decided that there would be no more Samsung in my house and there was no point in waiting for the master to take pity and give back what rightfully belongs to me.

But I'm still surprised by the people who are running around posts where people expressing their bewilderment and dissatisfaction with this decision by Samsung and telling how wrong they are and how stupid they were to wait for 8.5 on their not-so-old phone.

In my language there is an expression: "Piss in the eyes is all God's dew." That's you, chat. Good luck with this attitude towards life.

This is my third Samsung phone, and the sixth Samsung purchased within the family on my recommendation.

So here's what I want to say. If I don't get this update, this will be the last Samsung phone my family buys.

Besides the fact that I wasn't entirely happy with the direction Samsung's software policy was heading, Samsung was still one of the leading Android phone manufacturers.

But that's history—it's a betrayal and planned obsolescence. My phone is fine; it doesn't lag or overheat under normal use; it's completely ready for the update. Samsung just decided not to release it.

I should probably introduce myself first. I discovered Steam around 2010, and it's been my favorite game ever since. I've played thousands of hours off Steam and just as many on Steam.

I've always loved building things. When I was little, I loved building my own base, outfitting it with automatic turrets, which I made using a wire mod following a YouTube tutorial, and automatic hydraulic doors.

When I was a teenager, I enjoyed building thruster engines, suspensions, and my own little cars. But when I was in my 20s, things turned into something closer to full-fledged game development. And I've always known that if I want to relax at the computer but don't want to play games, I can pop into Garry's Mod and have a good time. And now, besides computer games, my favorite pastime is making my own little pet project in Godot, which is how Garry's Mod raised me.

I was waiting for S&Box. I knew it would be a different game, but I saw potential in it. I was in the closed beta and thought the game was unfinished in every way, from performance to the overall concept. Now I've finally decided to buy it despite all the negative reviews, and the game is just garbage.

Performance has improved, but from my perspective, Source 2 is definitely not the peak of optimization that can be achieved. The concept still hasn't been fully fleshed out, and all the gameplay mechanics are jumbled together. There are a huge number of bugs, my interface is clipping everywhere, and errors are constantly popping up, which is terrible.

By the way, the developers made a bold move, and I can't return the game because the time I played in the closed beta counts as the reason I can't return the game. I'd do this purely to show Newman I'm unhappy and to buy it again once he fixes everything.

But maybe the game has potential? I don't need to justify the purchase; it was pretty cheap, but I still see how, in theory, it could become something cool. All the problems aren't fundamental; they can be fixed, and knowing FaceSponge, they don't abandon their projects. Plus, the community can do a lot for the game. I've already seen something similar to Sprops and hope to see something similar to Presence Alignment and Wire Mod. That's enough for me, really. And I haven't touched the editor yet; maybe that will change everything for me.

So I guess I'll just calm down and wait.
