PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, or just PUBG, is a pioneering game of the battle royale genre. But its crossplay situation, something most multiplayer players take for granted these days, remains surprisingly convoluted. The rules shift dramatically depending on the platform you’re playing on.

Cellphones lose their value quickly. Within years, a previously top-of-the-line Android can start to lag, drain battery, or collect dust in a drawer. Nevertheless, an old Android is not obsolete. With the correct tweaks, it can be remarkably helpful again—either as a backup, smart home controller, or hobbyist-specific device. Breathing new life into dead hardware takes both tweaks and creativity, and the exercise is rewarding as well as handy.

Many drivers are finding a midsize pickup a right mix of functionality and performance. Such trucks are simpler to move as compared to full-size models but can offer the power of moving trailers, boats, or equipment. Engineering gains over the past few years have extended their performance, offering buyers high towing capacity with everyday usability. If you desire a pickup truck that can tow without overwhelming you with size, these are the trucks you should become familiar with.

Stepping into Ghost of Yōtei is stepping into a frozen frontier on which the spirits, the cycle of revenge, and feudal politics are all intertwined. It takes place in the wilderness of Mount Yōtei in Ezo (modern-day Hokkaido) in 1603, when you are Atsu, a mercenary on her own who is tormented by the massacre of her family at the hands of the brutal “Yotei Six” 16 years earlier. In every inch of this icy wind-stricken world there is some secret, some spiritual reverberation, and some peril in which to exercise your reflexes and your judgment as to strategy.

Even the most sophisticated smartphone may become an aggravating brick when it has a weak cellphone signal. Telephone conversations are lost, videos keep stuttering and plain text messages appear to disappear into the internet atmosphere. The low reception is not only a frustrating problem it can also interfere with work, your route and even your own safety since you may not get through in a real emergency. Luckily, it is possible to build a stronger bond with a few tangible, science-based methods, without having to use gimmicks or signal booster myth.

Lift the hood of any vehicle, or peep under its paint, and you will have discovered a hidden guardian that most motorists never recognize in the seam sealer. It is a flexible material that is mentioned infrequently outside body shops but one of the main reasons that modern cars have lasted longer, are more quiet and resist rust far better than their predecessors. Reading what seam sealer does — and why every car absolutely needs it — reveals how much engineering goes on beneath the surface.
