Summary

The first major topic centers around the recent news surrounding Apple's Vision Pro. We explore rumors about its production status, fueled by speculation suggesting that the first generation might be doomed. Notably, we dissect the implications of the reported production cuts and what this means for Apple's trajectory in the VR/AR landscape. Tim Cook has referred to this device as a product for early adopters, and we analyze whether the current narrative around its perceived failure holds any merit. Marty and Chuck offer insights into the media's tendency toward clickbait while alluding to historical parallels with previous Apple products that faced similar criticisms early in their life cycles.

We also highlight the exciting developments anticipated for the Vision Pro, including upgrades to Vision OS and the introduction of the M5 chip. The discussion highlights the importance of app developers in shaping the future ecosystem around the device. We agree that while the Vision Pro may have niche appeal, this is merely the beginning of a broader journey into immersive technology. Our conversation weaves through articles declaring the Vision Pro to be the product of the year while simultaneously being labeled 'doomed,' showcasing the contradictory narratives surrounding Apple’s flagship device.

Next, we pivot to Apple's performance in the hardware sector, noting the end of a 13-year streak of new product releases. Our panel speculates on what new innovations may emerge in 2025. Topics range from potential updates to existing products like the AirPods, to exciting new ventures in the home automation space. Patrice brings up the possibility of new HomeKit devices, while others share their predictions about Apple’s foray into security cameras and advanced HomePods. Chuck and Marty advocate for an integrated device that improves home interactivity and automation, paving the way for the future of smart living.

Following this, I share my recent experiences at the Apple Store, where I dealt with a screen replacement for a family member's iPhone and technical issues with my AirPods Pro. My visit illustrated the efficiency of Apple’s service, showcasing the new express replacement program and diagnostics capabilities for quick resolutions. The discussion underscores the effectiveness of Apple’s customer support and how such experiences shape user perceptions.

In a lighter segment, we touch on the utility of the Tips app available across Apple devices. I champion its often-overlooked potential, highlighting how users can access manuals and locate helpful guides for their products. With many of us frequently forgetting features, we emphasize the value this resource provides in navigating Apple’s ecosystem confidently.

We conclude the episode with some engaging banter, tying together our insights for the year ahead, and casting predictions not just for new Apple products but also for the evolution of technology in general.

When Not to Use Flutter: A Complete List of Cases

In the field of mobile app development, Flutter is rapidly taking off. It has drawn the interest of developers and companies alike because of its reputation for producing aesthetically pleasing and highly functioning apps across various platforms. But is it the answer to every problem with mobile apps? This all-inclusive guide seeks to answer that query.

In addition to delving into the settings where Flutter excels, this article examines the shadows where it might not be the best option. Flutter is no exception regarding the idea that a single development framework might be a one-size-fits-all solution. Advantages and drawbacks are also present. When navigating these considerations, hire Flutter app developer who can strategically leverage the framework’s strengths and mitigate potential limitations for optimal application development becomes crucial.

Flutter’s Drawbacks and When Not to Use It

Though Flutter has many benefits, there are several situations in which there might be better options. Understanding its limitations will help you make the best choice possible for your project.

1. Restrictions on the platform

Wearables devices: While developing apps for wearables, especially for Apple Watch, you might not be able to utilize the speed and functionality of Flutter fully. Android TV and Smart TV: Development apps for these platforms requires an in-depth rethinking of control logic. Android TV is mainly controlled by remote control input, while Flutter is designed to work with touchscreens and mouse clicks. The difference leads to more excellent development times and maybe inconsistent user experiences. Play Market with instant apps: Instant apps must have rapid reactions. Even with optimization, the inherent size of Flutter apps frequently exceeds that of native apps. Google has established a strict 10MB limit, so Flutter apps with many features or packages may find it challenging to stay under this limit.

2. Size Consideration

Size constraints may be a concern when considering Flutter. Flutter apps can have a larger file size than native applications, impacting download and installation times, especially in regions with slower internet connections. Additionally, if the app requires minimalistic functionality or specific platform-native features, the overhead introduced by Flutter might outweigh its benefits. In such cases, opting for platform-specific development could be more efficient. To navigate size considerations and ensure optimal outcomes, hiring a skilled Flutter app development team becomes essential for strategic decision-making and efficient utilization of the framework’s capabilities.

3. Connectivity and technical issues Bluetooth connection issues: There are occasionally several issues while utilizing Flutter to connect to hardware via Bluetooth. Developers may experience issues with connectivity and performance as Flutter does not directly use the device’s native Bluetooth capabilities. Compared with native frameworks, it makes the app development process more complex but still accessible.

Challenges for web development: Although Flutter for Web created a lot of excitement, a few things could be improved with SEO and loading performance. Furthermore, programmers who want to develop complex web experiences may need help. 

Flutter’s restricted WebView supports different new system features: As operating systems develop, new features are added that application developers can take advantage of. Compared to native SDK alternatives, Flutter’s cycle for implementing these capabilities is noticeably slower. One example is that after the release of iOS 13, which enabled dark mode, it took more than two years for the half-baked launch of the Dark Mode for iOS in Flutter. In the same way, Flutter has yet to provide performance on pace with the 120+ Hz screens found on modern smartphones.

Using Native code: Kotlin or Swift are examples of native languages that must be used to recreate some native UI elements in Flutter. For instance, Flutter implementations of video players may look different from system ones, particularly on iOS.

4. Increased Development Costs

The cost of Flutter development tends to be higher than that of Native development. This is because creating cross-platform applications with a unified look and feel requires particular knowledge and is challenging. It can also be difficult to find senior Flutter developers. Although the community is expanding, it is still relatively fresh, and as a result, experienced professionals in this field are in high demand, which may result in higher prices.

Suitable Applications for Flutter Development

Flutter’s strengths make it particularly well-suited for developing the following types of mobile applications:

1. E-commerce Apps: Flutter’s ability to create visually appealing and performant interfaces makes it ideal for building e-commerce apps that provide a seamless shopping experience for users.

2. Social Media Apps: Flutter’s cross-platform capabilities and declarative UI framework are well-suited for developing engaging social media apps that connect users across various devices.

3. Gaming Apps: Flutter’s high-performance rendering and cross-platform compatibility make it a viable choice for building casual and mid-core games that can run smoothly on a wide range of devices.

4. Educational Apps: Flutter’s declarative UI and interactive capabilities are ideal for creating engaging educational apps that provide a rich learning experience for users.

5. Productivity Apps: Flutter’s efficient development process and ability to create intuitive interfaces make it suitable for building productivity apps that streamline users’ tasks and workflows.

Thus, Flutter’s strengths in cross-platform development, high performance, declarative UI, and a rich ecosystem make it a compelling choice for building a diverse range of modern mobile applications.

Why Flutter is a Good Choice for Mobile App Development?

Flutter is a fantastic option for developing mobile apps for the following reasons: Fast development: Flutter is a framework that enables developers to write code for both iOS and Android platforms using a single codebase. This can significantly reduce the development time and cost of mobile apps. High performance: Flutter apps are compiled into native code, meaning they can run as fast as native apps. This contrasts with other cross-platform frameworks like React Native, which can have performance issues. Rich UI: Flutter provides a wide range of widgets and tools for creating rich and engaging user interfaces. This makes it a good choice for developing apps that must be visually appealing and easy to use. Hot reload: Flutter’s desirable reload feature allows developers to see changes to their code reflected in the app without restarting it. Flutter’s hot reload capability streamlines the development process, saving valuable time and effort for developers. Large community: Flutter boasts a vibrant and thriving community of developers, fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and continuous framework improvement. This means that a wealth of resources is available to help developers learn and use the framework. Google support: Google supports Flutter, meaning it is a stable and reliable framework. This is important for businesses that need to develop apps that many users will use. Open-source: Flutter is an open-source framework that is free to use and modify. This makes it a good choice for businesses wanting more control over their development process. Hence, Flutter is a good choice for mobile app development because it is fast, performant, and has a rich UI. It is also a good choice for businesses that need to develop apps that many users will use.

Wrap Up

Flutter emerges as a powerful and versatile framework for mobile app development; it is crucial to weigh its strengths and limitations for optimal decision-making. Understanding when not to use Flutter is as essential as recognizing its advantages. Size considerations, platform restrictions, connectivity challenges, and potential increased development costs are vital factors. To navigate these nuances effectively, partnering with a skilled Flutter app development company in the USA becomes imperative. Choosing a reliable development partner ensures a strategic approach, leveraging Flutter’s strengths while mitigating challenges for a seamless and successful app development journey.

.

Androxus

it’s not a phase, mum

“i don’t care we don’t have healer, i’m really good at him i swear”

.

Ash

you are level-headed but in a scary way

you will hold the point solo even if it costs you your streak

“get on the point” “guys get on the point” “attack the objective”

you’ll ult to save yourself 99% of the time

good leader

.

Atlas

you probably used to main lex or androxus before he came out

“he’s like a flank, but a tank, he’s great!”

you chase after solo kills instead of sticking to the point

healers hate you, flanks and damages fear you

your favorite mode is death match

.

Barik

you’re a former/current tf2 player looking for something fresh

you don’t like working too hard so you spam turrets on the point and hope for the best

“healer stick to me i’m boutta ult”

actually really nice between rounds

but you don’t communicate much mid-game and kind of do your thing

.

Bomb King

you’re a really old player. you have the beta makoa skin and you were there when lex was first released. veteran’s discount.

your favorite maps are the old ones and they barely show up any more

the team always underestimates you

“who plays bomb king in 2021 lol?”

you need a hug

.

Buck

“wait, he’s a flank? i thought he was a tank??”

you’re also a veteran in the game

you’re a dying breed. i like never see you. do you even exist?

you’ve been here since like the first day of the game

buck gets so many skins and you want all of them but the best you have is a random recolor

.

Cassie

sweetest person alive

“we can do it guys! let’s try to all rush the point this time!”

you are the bane of every flank

the opposing team hates you, your own team kind of doesn’t notice you’re there

*casually gets a pentakill*

.

Corvus

you know those weirdly political kids who like ww2 and know the details of every tank to ever exist? yeah that’s you

but like that’s corvus. as a character.

but no one ever plays him.

like i never even see him do you exist???

you are a cryptid.

.

Dredge

yo ho you’re a hoe

no seriously the other team views you and they FEAR you

“yeah i just got a penta kill” “YOU WHAT?” “eyes on the point mate don’t get distracted”

hella good at the game and hella casual about it

you like onslaught on the one sea map the most

.

Drogoz

another veteran, are we?

you’re either useless or can wipe out a whole team in seconds. there is no in-between.

you always have a really cool skin.

dovahkiin, dovahkiin...

“i don’t care about the point i gotta get them trips”

.

Evie

you bought her because you thought she was cute, admit it

*turns into ice right before dying* *turns into ice right before dying* *turns into ice right be

your personality type is identical to her. no question about that.

always buys faster reload and better speed

strangely good communication with the team

.

Fernando

gay gay homosexual gay

“he’s kinda hot if you look at him the right way”

fernando is the tank for gay people

you are gay people

i don’t have much more to say

.

Furia

mum energy. not as much as inara mains, but still, mum energy.

will protect every member of the team with your life, even the flanks

you’ve been maining her since she was first added

i bet you didn’t even know she’s canonically seris’ sister

“we’ve literally failed to capture the point the last 3 times we might as well give up and go to another game”

.

Grohk

“yeah i have a gremlincore tumblr blog, how could you tell?”

i honestly have no words

you’re kind of like a catboy but a racoon

do you even heal the team or do you just pretend

you were there when lex got announced and thought he was cringe, now everyone finally agrees with you

.

Grover

he was your first purchased character and he’s stuck around ever since

he’s the only healer you can play well

“i am groot lmao”

you would never say a word to your team

would give your life for the tank but that’s about it

.

Imani

daenerys targaryen on drugs

your favorite anime is my hero academia

your husbando is todoroki

you see where i am going with this

“team protect me i’m gonna ult” *dies 5 seconds into ult*

.

Inara

BIG MUM ENERGY

your team is your family. you will protect them with your life.

can only hold your own with a good healer so you have good teamwork going for you

*cutely places wall in front of your ult*

useless in tdm so you stick to onslaught, siege and koth

.

Io

are you a furry, furry, or a furry?

“victow! dont ult on my tweam pwease! uwu!”

you 100% find her attractive in some way shape or form

you are either a 30 year old redditor who enjoys loli content or a 16 year old teen who is playing a shooter for the first time

she’s kind of cute, i guess

.

Jenos

i can never tell if i’m going to absolutely destroy you or if you’re gonna kick my ass

*cutely holds you up so the whole team can shoot you to death*

kamehameha

you’re a healer??? i guess???

your character has such deep lore and i bet you don’t even know half of it

.

Khan

one day you were playing and your team desperately needed a tank. you picked the first one you saw. suddenly, you’re lian’s foot stool

despite 2 layers of heavy armor, you’d still let this man walk all over you

“this skin is really cool, wish it wasn’t behind a pay wall...”

YEET

you actually know the game’s lore, for some reason

.

Kinessa

i never trust people who are good at a sniper. if you’re bad that’s natural and you’re 99% of the population. if you’re good you are definitely up to something

you’d sell your sister for 5 pennies if you could

you’re missing from the team all game and somehow have the most kills

“we have a kinessa???”

you are an urban legend to your team

.

Koga

someone’s been watching naruto

you are so shit at the game. like i’m sorry. no one’s good at koga i’m so sorry

how do you have so many skins for one character???

you’re always missing from the point

healers hate you. so does the enemy kinessa.

.

Lex

quit the game /nm

“who mains lex in 2021??? lmao???”

wall hacks, aimbot, and it’s all legal for you as an ability. you are a hacker in a world of puny vanillas. you like it easy so you go for the easy min max character. have fun getting hated

you think he’s hot and press on his loading abilities just so he can scold you and you can hear him being mad at you

*bonk* go to horny jail

.

Lian

"she could step on me”

you used to main some sort of healer but switched over when you got sick of everyone being needy

you can hold a point all on your own for a really really long time but the moment your team gets there you start flunking

you wish you had more skins for her

you don’t

.

Maeve

so imagine this. it was like 2018 and you were just chilling playing the game. you kept getting killed by maeve. in every game. she was in every game you went to and she kept killing you over and over and over again. you got frustrated, snapped, and bought her to see if you could do the same to others. you are now the maeve in every game. the cycle repeats.

your whole team doubts you but then you casually get a quad kill and they just sort of look away

you die a total of two times each round and 99% of the time it’s because you go too fast and fall off the map

you repeat everything she says in her accent because you think it’s cute

“welcome to ze meant streets, kitten!” “can you shut the fuck up” “i hate to cut and run, he-he!”

.

Makoa

you have the plushie skin or the beta skin, otherwise you don’t main and only play casually stop lying to yourself

“attack turtle go brrr”

you’re really good if you get paired with a good healer

otherwise you’re useless

you wish you could get better teammates because you could really thrive with an organized group. but on paladins you won’t get that, i’m sorry-

.

Mal’Damba

i always forget this guy is even in the game

you’re definitely under 6 foot IRL

you have an older sibling you always fight with

you’d love to have a snake irl

you’re really chill outside of the game, but when playing you hella rage

.

Moji

you are so precious

but also such a little shit

you annoy me but i also want to give you a hug

“let’s go guys!! to the point!! wheee!!”

please never change but also get out of my sight

.

Octavia

you always main the new character until the new person drops

somehow always have enough credits to buy the new champion whenever they come out

you don’t like having a stable main cuz you get bored

you like hanging out at the training rage

hate siege and love team death match, you like your games quick

.

Pip

you are the worst and best thing to ever happen to this game

you only pick him to heal yourself and hardly ever heal your team

no one notices you there until you ult

then you get focused

honestly you just seem like you wanna do your thing and i can respect that

.

Raum

you probably go to therapy or desperately need it

“BIG MAN BIG. HE IS BIG. BRRRR”

you always love the demons in media

you like being in charge of the team and wreck the point any time you are there, you like fighting on your own but having a healer nearby is nice too

you probably have daddy issues

.

Ruckus

you think ruckus’ and bolt’s dynamic is cool and that’s one of the main reasons you started playing him

he’s the only tank you can play

you used to main either inara or ying at some point but chose violence instead

really short irl. you physically relate to ruckus and spiritually to bolt.

“funny goblin man :)”

.

Seris

certified girlboss

you can hold an objective all on your own or heal your whole team no problem. either way you are SLAYING

“alright. who’s ass am i kicking today?”

mum energy is inferior to inara but still kind of there

i’m like 50% sure you have a foot fetish

.

Sha Lin

*pointing and chanting* incel, incel, ince-

whether that’s about you or the character you can decide

you like minecraft bedwars on the side

“if i don’t get this headshot i am literally going to spontaneously combust”

really useful when there’s no other long distance people - otherwise a nuisance

.

Skye

AWOOGA *jaw drops to ground, eyes roll out of head* BOOBA BOOBA BOOBA

you bought her for the tiddies, didn’t you?

she’s actually really satisfying to play once you get the hang of her, but can be real tough on rough days

you need a break i think - maybe play some other game for a bit?

*casually gets team kill with ult*

.

Strix

you own at least one pretty knife

you played him when he was unlocked on rotation, fell in love, and spent a whole evening collecting credits to buy him fully

“haha bird man”

i’ve said what i said about snipers. if you’re actually good at him you are hiding a body somewhere. i fear you.

why does everyone ship him with viktor????

.

Talus

little furry child

he reminds me of tommyinnit because he is small and annoying

if you play him you are tall and intimidating 

i’m friends with a tall scary talus main

i can’t say bad things please spare me

.

Terminus

you always ult at the worst time and just get killed again 5 seconds after

“hey losers watch this” *goes on the point, dies, revives, kills one person and dies again*

you’re only a good tank if you cooperate

you don’t

on your own you’re a pretty good player

.

Tiberius

*sigh*

you think the cat is hot, don’t you?

“his accent is kinda cute tho hehe”

you saw that one ending scene in zootopia with the dancing tigers and it CHANGED you

you are probably a furry. if not your awakening is coming. be ready.

.

Torvald

you’ve been playing this game for too long

you’ve seen skins rise and fall. you’ve seen nerfs and buffs. you’ve seen reworks and remakes. you are ancient. older than the dragons and wiser than makoa. respect.

people see you on the opposing team and get really annoyed

“the point is really crowded, we can’t move in” “don’t worry guys, my ult is charged up”

you’re really good at all the characters but you like this guy a lot because you think he’s funky fresh

.

Tyra

you’re either new to the game or have been playing for too long

either way you can KICK ASS but you need to keep behind your team to do the most damage

flanks are the bane of you, especially the fast jumpy ones

you really want one of the cooler skins but you can only ever get the basic ones. such is the curse of maining one of the OG characters.

“bite me”

.

Viktor

you are level 100+ guaranteed, and everyone fears you

“oh shit they got a victor. flank focus him”

you probably play COD and CS:GO normally and wanted to go with something familiar and easy. your skill from the other more advanced games DWARFS everyone else

but why are you playing “guy with gun 132″ in a game with magical elves and fairies. like come on bro.

you don’t have any in-game friends because paladins is your guilty pleasure game you would never admit to

.

Vivian

“step on me” syndrome cranked up to 100%

this woman could spit on you and you’d still respect her more than your own mother. good for you

“i’m not a simp. i’m just tier 3 subbed to pokimane ironically”

you sweat the game hardcore. former victor main or he’s your secondary.

you’ve got her on level 50+ at least

.

Vora

like the maeve mains but somehow worse

bought her out of spite or played her while she was on rotation, now here you are grinding credits for her a day after she became unavailable

honestly you’re really good at the game i have nothing else to say

you enjoy the newer characters more than the OGs - you’re either a former vivian or lian main

you miss the play of the game feature in the game because you’d get all of them with this girl

.

Willo

you seem like the moji mains at first but show your true colors soon after

“fuck you” x50

you are a trash talker on max overdrive. you need to sit down, do some breathing exercises and have a drink.

you hate your own team more than the opposing guys

when you see a willow on the opposing team you make it your sole goal to eliminate her as many times as humanely possible

.

Yagorath

i bet you didn’t know she was canonically female until you read this

you don’t like sweating too much so you pick the tank that leaves you heavily relying on your healers and damages

you can hold a point really well so you like siege and onslaught

“are vora and yagorath connected in the lore somehow and do i really care?”

you have a friend who you always party up with to be your healer, otherwise you might switch to another character

.

Ying

“tanks love me, flanks hate me”

you are too powerful. literally. how are you so strong

you’ve mastered the most difficult healer in the game. the others are really easy for you to play but you have trouble with seris

motivate your team a lot but start shading and trash talking if they don’t cooperate

you’ll gladly play someone else for a long while and like taking breaks from her

.

Zhin

this is your first main after switching over from overwatch. we can smell it on you.

you’re really annoyed with his personality and voice lines but the character is too good to play for you to pass him up for that. you respond to his voice lines aloud very aggressively to let him know he’s an ass

“YES ZHIN HEALERS AREN’T USELESS YOU SELFISH PRICK”

you try your best but you’re not a great team player

infinite trips on a good day, die repeatedly without kills on a bad one and you switch over to vora or skye for a bit.

.

this took me hours to write out pls leave reblog and note thanks uwu

The Plutonia Experiment

32 maps megawad.

By the brothers Casali.

1996.

https://doomwiki.org/wiki/The_Plutonia_Experiment

Level 1: Congo

Iconic beginning that presents us one of the most popular tricks of Plutonia: Chaingunners, Archies and a lot of pain. Pretty hot start that delivers quite greatly.

Level 2: Well of Souls

An elevator styled entrance that delivers quite the punchy level with some awesome ‘‘congo’‘ vibes more than the actual congo level.

Level 3: Aztec

Iconic beginning that presents us one of the most popular tricks of Plutonia ''invisible bridges'' I'm not a fan of them but I can see the charm in this first level.

Level 4: Caged

Surrounded on all sides and ready to die The first level of Plutonia that presents the classic style of difficulty but keeps a nice balance between exploration and combat.

Level 5: Ghost Town

We are moving to a tighter and more traditional format but one that remains constant though somewhat simpler.

Level 6: Baron's Lair

One of my favorites. A medium size level but with a more interesting layout that reveals different areas of combat and a dynamic and entertaining progression.

Level 7: Caughtyard

Another of my favorites and one of the icons of the set. This is a simple square map sand style but with a pretty hot gameplay that will take blind-players by surprise. It still has a good quality of play and is fun to play with at all times.

Level 8: Realm

A bit punishing at times but with a fluid design.

Level 9: Abattoire

Quite open and with a more bloody combat. This is one of the first big maps and takes us through a somewhat different but acceptable adventure.

Level 10: Onslaught

With a design that makes more use of exteriors, this level combines a beautiful design with an attractive and challenging gameplay.

Level 11: Hunted

Oh boy. This is probably one of the most iconic maps in history. A great labyrinth where the only enemies are nothing more and nothing less than Archviles. What does of this one a quite destructive and frustrating adventure for moments, but the simple originality of the concept does of this one a fascinating map.

Level 12: Speed

Moving is the key, although not as fast as the map indicates. A high design and a few surprises make this a nice and drastic adventure.

Level 13: The Crypt

Towards the depths of a tolerable map.

Level 14: Genesis

Smaller than normal but with a closed circuit design that allows constant movement and gameplay that flows like the wind.

Level 15: The Twilight

(Exit to secret level)

Things get hot. We need good moves and a bit of strategy to advance a more tactical map and with a less merciful gameplay but always maintaining a solid quality.

Level 16: The Omen

A small level with a lot of intensity. Developed in a simple system of capture of keys which are at first sight and without major problem. The combat, however, is developed as a system of constant surprises in which the player will be ambushed at every given opportunity, creating an intense level that despite having a duration of about 6 minutes manages to deliberate an entertaining gameplay with a design that, even if it is simplistic, does the job in a good way. Some areas can be a bit annoying (deliberately) and makes it a bit difficult to get around, but Plutonia has far harsher maps and this one feels more like an intermission that lets us rest a bit.

Level 17: Compound

Another short level that follows the same visual theme of this chapter. What we have here now is a more intricate design with an entertaining layout that combines a bit of traditional style with certain abstract structures. With a more fluid but equally hot combat, this is a fast level that enjoys a good flow.

Level 18: Neurosphere

Interestingly fluid, dynamic and quite intense without necessarily being destructive. This is a level that has a very entertaining flow that allows to appreciate the combat of a more dynamic way at the same time that it stays stable and balanced before the player, taking into account the difficulty of the most famous maps of this game. I could say that this map feels more like a MAP01, or at least it could have been very successful as the first map.

Level 19: NME

Hot and short in size, but well packaged. That sounds weird. This is a pretty intense map that sees us in a tight fight and requires a little more anticipation to survive, as well as a few surprises that can take us by surprise. With a nice design but a bit stressful combat, it is a solid map. All the maps have been pretty solid, actually.

Level 20: The Death Domain

Something a little more traditional but welcome, with a good collection of Chaingunners and a circular but constant layout.

Level 21: Slayer

A circular map with an intricate design that takes us through an intense but entertaining combat.

Level 22: Impossible Mission

Square and designed based on rooms with different boxes. It follows a somewhat sporadic flow and can be slightly lost but maintains a solid visual warmth to compensate. Combat stays normally-balanced up until the end. But overall, fun enough.

Level 23: Tombstone

Long and with a complex design. A little bit of unnecesary backtracking at times but it makes up for it with an intense and fun gameplay.

Level 24: The Final Frontier

Fantastic small enigmatic map with an abstract design that will make us go through a little trial and error until we find the victory. Playing this map with the MIDI pack is orgasmic.

Level 25: The Temple of Darkness

Long and with multiple monster closets as well as tight and tactical combat. A nice, intense and full of adrenaline map.

Level 26: Bunker

Simple style and even has some touches of Heretic but with good combat although a bit of a puzzle/lost layout.

Level 27: Anti-Christ

Great, fun and hot. With a dynamic combat and varied heights, which gives good depth to the fight and makes us go through a well-balanced and entertaining challenge.

Level 28: The Sewers

Enigmatic. It leaves somewhat disturbing airs which gives it a good presentation. With a somewhat lost but well structured layout manages to create a slightly longer adventure with good action.

Level 29: Odyssey of Noises

Iconic for different reasons and controversial for others. This is an attractive map with an urban style like Sandy, combining abstract buildings with a little more attractive architecture. With an expansive and big layout, the map is quite long and a bit lost, but it compensates with a good gameplay and open combat.

Level 30: The Gateway of Hell

The end of Plutonia. A decent IoS fight with a bit of foreshadowing and good build up to the final battle, which has a few tricks up its sleeve. Overall, decent, but definitely one of the best IoS of the IWADs, if not the best.

Level 31: Cyberden

(Exit to super secret level)

Interesting gimmick map with a few Cyberdemons to keep us company.

Level 32: Go 2 It

The iconic Go 2 It. It doesn't need many words other than to say that it is a pioneer of a particular style and features a gameplay and layout as violent as it is fantastic, though unfair and cruel at times.

End.

» Overall:

The Plutonia Experiment (1996)

By Dario and Milo Casali

In 1996, history was made. Final Doom, the last expansion of the classic Doom, is finally released and with it brings to our eyes two of the most iconic megawads in history. The Plutonia Experiment is one of those holy or not so holy grails that we adore to this day. Considered by many as an irreplicable milestone in the history of Doom and by others as an outdated and particularly cruelly designed work. Whatever the opinion, we can all easily accept that Plutonia came to stay sedimented among the most influential megawads in history.

Made by the brothers Casali in an almost speedmapping way, almost indeed, the Plutonia Experiment, or simply Plutonia, is one of a kind, specially during the 90s when the world of WADs was still in a very primitive, almost baby-like state. Of course, things would change quite quickly but not until Final Doom hit the shelves, and oh boy did it also hit the Doom community. Of course, it is such an iconic work that it is practically as famous as the original Doom 2 or Ultimate Doom itself, bringing with its different mechanics and creative tricks that would later be replicated several times in other distinctive and fantastic ways, creating a cycle of improvements and approaches to new ideas. Plutonia is nothing new, not at all, but it's something I've barely gotten to discover properly. While I played it a long, long time ago, I could barely remember the first five levels, much less the last few. I wanted to give it one more spin, one where I could fully appreciate the creation of this magnificent specimen. I did it and now I can see with a different eye the reason for the appreciation of this megawad. The cult of the Plutonia lies deep and with a very good reason.

Visually speaking, Plutonia is twice better looking than Doom 2, and quite frankly, TNT: Evilution, and that’s something I think we can all agree upon (well, pretty much anything looks better than Doom 2 now a days.) with no major problem. Interestingly, the levels were created by only two people, which gives a certain sense of respect for the creative capacity and practical ability of the Casali brothers. Dario did a total of 14 levels while his brother Milo did a total of 18, giving their respective authors a fairly respectable number. Which level was made by whom? That we will probably never know, although speculation may tell us certain things and analysis of map techniques others, at least we can all agree that the two authors show a well-defined quality in terms of their overall quality. Almost all Plutonia maps are attractive to look at, fun to admire and have generally understandable layouts with no major visual or progressive detractors. From the first iconic level to the last IoS, each map has a distinctive shape that gives it a certain renown, with, obviously, some maps standing out more than others, such as Congo for its respective high level of difficulty for a first level, or Hunted, for its unique way of screwing up our day with a few thousand Arch-Viles (is actually just a few dozen, but let’s drop some salt in it).

Each 10 maps are divided into chapters with a specific visual theme. The first 10 are Earth Levels, with the next 10 being Hell Levels and the last 10 being Devil Hive levels, a unique mix of particularly atrocious levels with disturbing visuals. Of course, the all-mighty secret levels also have a distinctive look, but they are not particular adherent to any other chapter. The first 11 levels manage to create that earthy feel quite well by offering brown textures that seem to recreate fortresses or human settlements, as well as clearly palpable architecture and realistic definitions without needing to be hyper-realistic. They just look good for what they need to work for. From map 12 to 20 we have the infernal levels that try to recreate what seems to be hell cities, or places with red tints. In one way or another, they manage to evoke dark sensations and also offer iconic battles in rivers of blood and red skies. From level 21 to 30 we finally have the center of all corruption. The Devil Hive levels are maps that recreate inner sectors of hell, such as capitals or demonic cities. Most of them usually look good and offer long combat spaces, although some maps can be a little longer than necessary, each of them satisfies.

And when we talk about satisfaction, we, of course, have to talk about gameplay. This is probably the most brilliant point of Plutonia, and one that many would consider essential in the history of Doom WAD development. Plutonia introduced, without a doubt, the most difficult original levels of all classic Doom, making use of a totally cruel creative and planning freedom that is designed to envelop the player in levels of absolute carnage and unnecessary insanity. This resulted in a plethora of iconic levels that stand out for their absurd early difficulty, as I said earlier, Congo is probably the ideal map to represent what Plutonia is all about. I don't have to say anything else; this has already been said to death: Revenants, Chaingunners, Arch-Viles, Barons, Mancubus. Be prepared to see them in whole hordes. However, what do I think of this? Well, at first, I must admit I was a bit skeptical about my initial reaction, since I'm usually more of a fan of casual WADs that show some mercy to the players, on the other hand, I also appreciate a good shot of adrenaline to get the glands moving. Plutonia is definitely going for the latter. What we have here is the introduction of what I, and many, consider the proto-slaughtermap. Before Hell Revealed, Plutonia already had the first slaughter-style maps, such as the immortal Got 2 It. These are brutal maps, even for modern years. Sure, many other WADs have managed to surpass Plutonia's overall difficulty, including its famed unofficial sequel, but Plutonia is the starting point where it all began and from there were born distinctive WAD making moves that would later be sedimented as part of the iconic variety of this beautiful community. I can't hate that, it's simply impossible since it's a factor that, despite being so divergent, brought about a change that would end up favoring the freedom of design and the brutality of the unforgivable gameplay.

I enjoyed every second of it, from start to finish without encountering any major difficulties and that's pretty incredible, considering that all other IWADs have at least one major negative quality that tends to affect my enjoyment. Plutonia, on the other hand, didn't present me with any truly annoying factors. Even its brutal difficulty was extremely enjoyable and I'm sure it has managed to survive modern times precisely because of that.

Sure, it's a bit old, and some maps tend to be a bit more boring to look at than others, but it's a journey through time that launches us into the golden grail that everyone wanted to reach during the 90s. A time when everyone was waiting for the ''Next Plutonia''. The Casali brothers created a movement that would forever remain on the plaques of Doom history, and for that and much more, I think we should all be thankful that what we have here is, without a doubt, the best IWAD ever. Plutonia is an experience and one that everyone, without fail, should try sometime in their life. It may kick your ass, but a kick never felt so good.

Coming Surge in Unsupported Android Devices Poses Growing Online Security Threat

Android devices make up around 70 percent of the market however, a lot of them are security risks since Google does not support them anymore. Let's look closer over what's happening with the Android OS distribution and the security of the platform's future.

One of the issues with Android has to do with OS fragmentation. Google has released a variety of Android versions in the last 14 years. The last three versions remain supported although that's not unusual. It's normal that companies end support after a period of time on specific products.

Google offers support for every version of its OS for the duration of three years, but it releases every year a new version. It's no surprise that users don't simply get rid of their devices once the three years have come to an end. Many people continue to utilize devices that aren't supported for several years, which poses a serious security risk.

Security as an option

When consumers decide to buy a new smartphone the majority of them look at the size of the screen and ease of use processing power and image quality among other aspects. Unfortunately, the security duration is not a major element when it comes to choosing a new phone.

There is no real change after a device has reached the its end of life. It's still functional as long as the user is content with the performance of the device, they continue using it. It's tempting to conclude that as long as it's doing its job, then it's worth the expense of buying a new device to accomplish similar tasks.

That's where the security factor comes into. When a firm ceases to provide the support of a product users are allowed to use the device, however, if a vulnerability is discovered following that time the company ceases to updates it. While the device may be efficient, it's also vulnerable.

Attackers are aware of the statistics

Unsupported and old devices are among attackers' most trusted partners - particularly devices abandoned by manufacturers. and then ignored or not noticed by users, but operating in the present. In contrast to iOS and Android, the Android OS market is a bit splintered. It's still possible to find devices operating Android versions that were launched 10 years ago and they're much more widespread than you believe.

We analyzed the devices that were running Bitdefender Mobile Security on Android. We were curious to observe how the OS coverage across the range of devices, and the results were shocking to not be overly dramatic. To be clear, the most recent operating system that is supported by Google was Android 10, which is likely to expire at the end of the life cycle in September 2022 at which point Google will unveil Android 13.

If we take the math that, when the support of Android 10 disappears in September 35 % of Android devices that run Bitdefender Mobile Security won't have support from Google. Incredibly, a large number of devices still run OSes that were five years or more.

Don't be fooled by patches for security

If a vulnerability is discovered The first step is always the same regardless of the device that is to apply the latest security patches as quickly as is possible. For Android devices that run operating systems, however this is not an alternative.

There are many scenarios that expose crucial information and data using devices that are not supported. For instance, an entire business is built around older Android phones that can have the potential to be "transformed" into surveillance cameras. While we're not talking about the fact that many applications are utilized to track individuals and even if the phone is being used for routine security, wouldn't you like to use a device with a high level of vulnerability that can provide criminals with live video feeds of your home?

Apple Mysteriously Releases iOS 13.1 Beta Before iOS 13 Official Launch

Apple’s iOS 13 update isn’t even out yet, which makes it extremely bizarre that the company just released the first beta of iOS 13.1. That’s not a typo. Apple on Wednesday released iOS 13.1 beta 1 to developers, likely a few weeks ahead of iOS 13’s launch next month.... https://www.idropnews.com/news/apple-mysteriously-releases-ios-13-1-beta-before-ios-13-official-launch/115517/
