      Edit: never fallen through the map in Java just saying. But iz just jokes people . Ik you can break bedrock in both versions. Im referring to the bedrock version when I say “break bedrock”.
      Bedrock edition is much more closed off then Java. It’s more optimized bc it’s made to run on mobile/console, and bc it’s also meant to be monetized modding is not supported. So you’re limited to whatever Microsoft throws at you for a price.
      I’d give the same comparison for Java/Bedrock as I would PC/Console:
      Play whatever you prefer. Bedrock is better supported officially, but Java is better for being flexible and customizing the experience to your preferences

      @fleurdewin7958 Před 2 lety +5

      @@SerjStar I think he made 2 critical errors.
      1. Applying liquid metal (LM) is not the same as conventional thermal paste. You have to spread the LM across the surface on the CPU die and the contact surface on the heatsink evenly. If you have some experience on applying LM, if the surface is "virgin" and never been applied LM before, it takes a bit more effort to make the LM stick to the surface, patience is needed.
      2. The laptop probably overheating because Linus was rushing and did not tighten the screws correctly on the heatsink ensuring even contact between the heatsink and the CPU die. The screws have to be tightened in criss cross pattern , in multiple times to ensure even contact pressure.

      @@felosrg1266 Run an AA squad with friends, 3 engineers with Javelins and AA mines, 2 recons with SOFLAM+PLD. Spread out across the map, keep an eye on the sky, and start mashing that left-click as soon as you start getting a lock on a heli. You can also coordinate triple-taps against tanks/LAVs marked by recons. When the chopper tries to hide behind one building or flee, he's in sight of another person. Keep them lazed all round long, watch the guy scream their head off about how it's not fair and lock-ons are for scrubs, and they'll either keep dying which is unacceptable to their 20K/D, or not get any kills because they're evading all match long. Keep doing it next round and they'll go find another server, I can guarantee it.

    Good luck getting any laptop from MSI right now. I tried getting a Prestige 15 back in June and they weren't going to be available for months
