We've just received very important information from our sponsor @Manal from Shadow Hosting that affect the VPS 5 Plan.
VPS 5 holders please take note that you need to take backups and remove the content of your VPS as soon as you can but not later than end of Sunday, 25th of October. Shadow Hosting is in the process of upgrading VPS 5 to an advanced spec node which means that all data on the current node will be deleted and lost. We apologize for the inconvenience, but I'm sure you'll agree this is excellent news at the same time. The node will be upgraded from 32 GB RAM to 128 GB RAM along with other spec upgrades that will be announced shortly. I'd say that is super impressive for a VPS Plan that was already one of our top VPSs spec wise, many thanks @Manal.

Manal Wrote:Due to running out of stock for both of our nodes, we're working on bringing in the advanced node, replacing the first node of 32 GB RAM with 128 GB RAM, and much more optimization. With that being said, we'll be deleting our 32GB RAM node, on which VPS 5 is running. We'll begin with the process in 2-3 days and all data would be lost. To avoid any important loss, please tell the VPS 5 users to take a backup of their data.
We'll be back with the VPS 5 within a week with a much powerful node. Further specification will be provided once the node is setup. We're sorry for the inconvenience caused.
I have had computers for such a long time but started using a cordless mouse only three years ago. I bought this wireless mouse for like 1 USD from a sale. Tested and it worked so bought it to keep it as a backup mouse. After all, it was just 1usd so cheaper than a corded mouse. I had to start using it just after 2 months. I was so impressed with its performance because it was light weighted but responded so well. Next 2 and half years I used it. It worked so well and only had one problem. That mouse was a battery hog.
Needed to replace it's AA battery once in 2 months. So needless to say I wanted another cordless mouse after that one. That's when problems started. The next mouse was about 6 USD and worked perfectly at the shop. At home using it was like driving a manual steering truck. and stopped working after like a month. Next mouth was working well but then it started to stop working too. Like it was working one hour then nothing. So now I'm back to corded mouses again.
A couple of weeks ago I bought a Logitech corded mouse for about 4 USD. This is works so well and I don't need batteries either. The first few days were not so great because. It seems to be a gaming mouse and a bit heavier than all those I used for the last 3 years. Now I'm used to it so all great. So, I won't be going back to a cordless mouse anytime soon.
What type of mouse you guys use?

Hello there,
I was actually just going through the shoutbox where i actually saw a discussion going through of iPhone repair and stuff, So thought i should open up a thread for it.
So, I'm not actually a huge fan of iPhones actually i don't hate it, I actually like the iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone X!
Talking about the old models like 6 - 6s , 6s+ , 7 and 8.
There are things which are good there are things which are not that good.
1. Battery : Battery in old models is way too less. In iPhone 8 is maximum of 1821 mAh, There was one time like my friend had is 4G on without opening any apps while i had 4G on my mobile which is a Huawei Y5 like my battery went from 90 85 while his iPhone 8 straight went to 97 to 51.
2. Pricing : Pricing are still high for even older models. The parts even are expensive, I went to buy a charging cable from a shop for my brother, It costed mee thrice than the price of a android cable.
3. Repair : Repairing of an iPhone in Pakistan (Not sure of Other Countries) cost as much as buying a new phone itself literally.
Well coming on good things i would firstly say the camera even the older models like 6s+ camera picture quality is way better than some of the latest i would say phones like OPPO (not talking SAMSUNG or any huge but yeah in some cases).
Second thing is the performance in my personal experience i have not much seen iPhone hanging especially with 2GB of RAM, The performance is smoothness is quite nice though!
Looking to hear your opinion on iPhones in your country!

Yup you read that correct! One of the most anticipated games of this year, Cyberpunk 2077 has finally gone gold!
What does this mean?
It means that the developers are finally finished with the product, the "Gold" refers to a mastercopy from which all other copies are made, I think this news is really exciting! Mainly because this game has been notorious for delays, I really hope the game actually delivers the hype that CDPR started building all those years ago!
Hello everyone,
i would like to share with you something. i am soon 18 years old and this is my last year at school. for the last months i have volunteered in my school to fix computers and take care of hardware and tech issues.
today i have faced a problem which does not make any sense no matter how much i have tried to fix it. i have got a computer with a temperature issue. every time you turn on the pc. the cpu temperature going to 70. when you enter a game or something like that. the temperature going to 100-107. i have cleaned the computer completely. replaced the cpu thermal paste. and formatted the pc. i have entered BIOS to check temperature and i saw it is on 93. the cpu is not old enough to stop work and i think it is i5-3470 intel. when the pc showed that the temperature is high. the pc didnt even felt like it is hot or something. that is what confusing me the most. also when programs are being used. the cpu usage jumps to 100 and the computer getting really stuck. do you think is there anything else to do?

Documentary Recommendations Thread
![[Image: WeUnQoi.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/WeUnQoi.jpg)
Hello Community!
I would like to introduce you to some very interesting and great documenatries that I have watched over the years. At the same time I would also like to give you the opportunity to share your own collection of documentaries alongside your opinions. This thread will hopefully serve as a compilation / collection thread where we all can make a superb list of the greatest and most interesting documentaries.
Let's get started. Below you can find my list of documentaries. You may notice that my fair share is mostly based on content from Netflix. I can freely and happily admit that Netflix introduced me into some really interesting and very entertaining documentaries. No matter how controversial they might be I really like them and can happily recommend them.

The Devil Next Door
![[Image: 343430_banner_optimized.jpg]](https://dyncdn.me/static/20/tvdb/343430_banner_optimized.jpg)
Description
Quote:The Devil Next Door is a documentary series of five episodes by Netflix about John Demjanjuk, accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity carried out while serving as a guard at Nazi extermination camps during World War II, who spent years living in Cleveland.
Opinion
Quote:In my opinion this is a great documentary that is a) reminding about the horrible crimes that were done by the Nazis and b) that shows how witch hunts still exist nowadays. You have to see yourself to understand what I mean. Regardless of the final verdict the whole process is / was a very interesting one. The stories by the victims and witnesses. Everything simply was very interesting and it kept me watching and finishing it episode for episode in one day.
My rating 7.5/10.

The Staircase
![[Image: o1BXhUc.png]](https://i.imgur.com/o1BXhUc.png)
Description
Quote:The Staircase a Netflix documentary series of 13 episodes follows the indictment, trial, and conviction of crime author Michael Peterson for the death of his wife, Kathleen. In December 2001, she was found dead at the bottom of the staircase in their North Carolina home. Peterson was the only person in the house at the time.
Opinion
Quote:This in my opinion is a very great documentary about a case of an accident or murder(?) that shows every aspect and side of the defendant and prosecution. You get to see experts from both sides reconstructing the whole process and explaining everything. At the same time they try to discredit each other in order to make the jury believe their own story and disregard the other side. The detail in investigation and the things that get revealed is really interesting and also heart breaking. See it yourself. Some things I simply couldn't even believe and still wonder how could the jury believe it when they got a lot of information that would proof the opposite??? Honestly... the American justice system is very often questionable to me (being from Europe).
My rating 8/10.

Making a Murderer
![[Image: 314848_banner_optimized.jpg]](https://dyncdn.me/static/20/tvdb/314848_banner_optimized.jpg)
Description
Quote:The Netflix documentary show of two seasons (10 episodes per season) tells the story of Steven Avery, a man from Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, who served 18 years in prison for the wrongful conviction of sexual assault and attempted murder of Penny Beerntsen. He was later charged in 2005, and convicted in 2007, for the murder of Teresa Halbach. The connected story is that of Brendan Dassey, accused and convicted as an accessory in the murder.
Opinion
Quote:The story of this documentary is still unbelievable to me til today. This again seems like a huge witch hunt or conspiracy theory against one man. The insane things that happen and the horrible work of the US justice system... watch it yourself. How the police was doing their work and etc... ignoring certain laws and so on. I don't really believe that the two main characters are actually guilty.
My rating 8.5/10.

Wild Wild Country
![[Image: 328743_banner_optimized.jpg]](https://dyncdn.me/static/20/tvdb/328743_banner_optimized.jpg)
Description
Quote:Wild Wild Country is a Netflix documentary series of 6 episodes about the controversial Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (Osho), his one-time personal assistant Ma Anand Sheela, and their community of followers in the Rajneeshpuram community located in Wasco County, Oregon.
Opinion
Quote:A hell of a great documentary about a hell of a dangerous cult and their leader. What can go wrong if a cult forms in the US? Well, we know this isn't the first horrible story about a cult in the US. Dangerous minds mixed with a country where a weapon is available legally at ever corner is a really explosive mix. Where else would such a thing be possible (again)? Watch it and decide for yourself.

Description
Quote:Evil Genius is a 2018 true crime documentary series about the death of Brian Wells, a high-profile 2003 incident often referred to as the "collar bomb" or "pizza bomber" case. It was released on Netflix as a four-part series on May 11, 2018.
Opinion
Quote:I will keep it short and simple. This is a great documentary about a crazy bank heist and its absolutely sick story. You have to watch it and witness it yourself.

Description
Quote:The Confession Killer is a 2019 Netflix American true crime documentary miniseries directed by Robert Kenner and Taki Oldham. The plot revolves around the 1983 case of Henry Lee Lucas who confessed to over 200 murders in the United States. Years after his admissions, they turned out to be lies.
Opinion
Quote:Would you confess to hundreds of murders even if a huge part of them never happened? Why would you? This kind of questions are answered in this documentary. It was really interesting to see the persona "Henry Lee Lucas" and his story. Most may know about this guy and his history. If you don't know - watch this documentary.
My rating 7.5/10.

A Perfect Crime
![[Image: pycDdyn.png]](https://i.imgur.com/pycDdyn.png)
Description
Quote:A Perfect Crime is a 2020 German docuseries released on Netflix on September 25, 2020. It centers around German politician Detlev Karsten Rohwedder, head of the Treuhandanstalt, who was assassinated at his home in Düsseldorf on April 1, 1991.
Opinion
Quote:The first German documentary by Netflix that has hit the right tone. It is very interesting and intriguing. The murder remains unofficially unsolved til today although it is written off as an successful assassination attempt by the RAF. The persona of Mr. Rohwedder is really interesting. It shows how much power he received from the Germany government and almost zero proper protection. He was basically used as a scapegoat if this can be said so.
My rating 7/10.

Amanda Knox

Description
Quote:Amanda Knox is a 2016 American documentary film by Netflix about Amanda Knox, twice convicted and later acquitted of the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2016 and on Netflix on September 30, 2016.
Opinion
Quote:What a love story. Twice convicted! Finally cleared and free. A great documentary movie. Not to be confused with a actual movie based on the story of Amanda Knox (which I don't watch due to its rather bad reception).

L.A. Burning: The Riots 25 Years Later & LA 92

![[Image: srhDLdH.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/srhDLdH.jpg)
Description
Quote:L.A BURNING: The Riots 25 Years Later is a 2-hour documentary film exploring the lives of the people at the flashpoint of the LA riots, 25 years after the uprising made national headlines and highlighted the racial divide in America.
LA 92 is a 2017 American documentary film about the 1992 Los Angeles riots, directed by Daniel Lindsay and T. J. Martin. It premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 21, 2017, opened in theaters on April 28, 2017 and aired on National Geographic Channel on April 30, 2017.
Opinion
Quote:Both documentary movies show the riots in L.A. 1992 that were started by the beating of a black man by several police officers. We all know this subject is very iffy nowadays in the US and recent very similar cases that ended with the death of the victims have lead to yet another wave of riots all over the US that are still on going! Georg Floyd and many others... have been brutally killed by US police forces or extremely beaten up. You should watch both. Start of with L.A. Burning and after that watch LA 92. LA 92 will provide you with a lot of additional information and views from other perspectives. Racism in the US is part of their culture and history repeats over and over again. Once again the US justice system is very corrupt!
My rating 8/10 for both.

What is GDevelop? It's a remarkably simple, very intuitive 2D game engine that allows you to create a game for free without any knowledge of programming. I'm a newer user, having played with it for a few months, but it's been actively developed for 4 years. Current version is 5.0.0 beta100
The game editor consists of 2 main parts: the scene editor, and the events editor.
The scene editor allows you to create the objects which will be used in your game. You can create sprites, tiling sprites, text objects, text inputs, particle emitters, light emitters, and light obstacles. Objects can be organized into groups for executing events on multiple objects, and placed into layers for creating a variety of display effects.
On the left: object properties. On the right: objects and object groups. At the bottom you can show or hide your layers. And in the center you can lay out your objects as you please.
The events editor is the heart of the engine, where all the magic takes place. I'm not going to explain all the different things that can happen in the events editor because 1. I haven't discovered them all yet and 2. You can just go to the GDevelop site and read the docs. Instead I want to talk about what makes GDevelop so intuitive and easy to use for beginners.
Here's another screen shot because it's always useful to have a visual reference.
The events editor is set up in a very simple format of ACTIONS and CONDITIONS, which can be related to IF and THEN in programming terms.
On the left you create your conditions. On the right you create the actions to be executed when the conditions are met. When you click to add a condition or action a searchable menu pops up to help you find what you're looking for. There's an expression finder that knows what ways you can manipulate different types of objects and presents you with available options and helps prevent syntax errors. For example, a text object has different options than a sprite and a sprite has different options than a particle emitter.
There's support for most basic programming functions such as AND, OR, and condition blocks which make it easy to do things like FOR, WHILE, and REPEAT(x times). There's an assortment of variables: scene variables, global variables, values, strings, instance variables, and variable structures (which work like an ARRAY)
What else can it do?
There's a math helper for things like SIN, COS, TAN, and a physics engine for creating things like TORQUE and FORCE.
It uses PixiJS for a built in graphics editor, which is great for making simple pixel art, but if you need something more powerful you can import images in most standard web formats, although GDevelop prefers RGB instead of grayscale.
The most recent update brought multiplayer functionality - something I need to experiment with eventually. It requires an npm server to use and has a limit of roughly 250 connections. Because it's open source, it's easy to contribute, and over the years extensions have been added for cool things like gamepad support. The upcoming release is scheduled to support firebase for database functions.
There's a number of pre-made examples that give a template for constructing different types of games: shooters, platformers, top-down isometric games, racing games and more.
The community is very friendly and helpful to the new and inexperienced. There's an online editor (a bit slow to run online) if one wants to try it before downloading. You can export for free to Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, or HTML in just 1 click - iOS is planned for future updates.
Who should use GDevelop? I think it's geared more towards less experienced or people who want to learn programming or try their hand at game development. Someone well experienced in something more powerful like Unity or Unreal might be disappointed. Because it's written in Javascript and has simple HTML5 export, it's possible to use it also for web development.
I thought this was a good place to put this review, but feel free to move it to the gaming forum if you feel that's more appropriate
