Samsung prepares future V-NAND memory with 200-layers, offering high capacities and increased performance In 2013, Samsung created a 24-layer V-NAND flash memory, a significant advancement ahead of time and somewhat futuristic to the company’s rivals. However, the company is more careful now due to the fragility of creating NAND flash memory with hundreds of layers to be stable for use.

Apple details how the feature can detect car crashes below. Keep in mind that Crash Detection will not detect all collisions. If the driver or passenger is wearing a compatible Apple Watch, and if a detectable crash happens, users can interact with the wearable.

Here’s hoping GSC Game World will be at a place where they can continue the development of STALKER 2 soon.

In a blog post on Steam, Valve mentions that production is actually going faster than expected and will move some reservations up. Some of the Q4 2022 (October 2022 ~ December 2022) reservations will be moved up to Q3 (July 2022 ~ September 2022).
