About the "good life" and the free extra version of HYDRA PRO. (Patreon)

Once again I notice angry messages in the chat that HYDRA developer lives perfectly well and doesn't develop anything. I don't see the point in justifying myself, but I want to tell you briefly what my life consists of now and what the project is.
1. There is war in my country, there is war in my frontline city. 2 days ago several shahid drones exploded 350 meters away from me. 3 days ago S300 missiles fired from Belgorod flew into the city in the middle of the night. People are dying every day. We have an air alert every hour or every half hour and a recommendation to go to a shelter. We don't have clubs, theaters, we don't have concerts or matches. Of entertainment we have a park with trees that is not lighted in the evening and grocery stores. Some coffee shops are open in the middle of the day. In the city they check documents and in some places there are checkpoints. Personal privacy is extremely limited. There is a curfew in the evening. I don't think you can call it the wonderful life that Discord-revolutionaries write about.
2. The project already contains more than 100,000 lines of ungenerated code. I haven't counted the number of research hours for a long time, but I can say with certainty that if we have electricity (it is often turned off) 3 test benches work 16-18 hours a day for more than 4 years. 1 person who develops, the same person conducts research, this person writes documentation and this person conducts earlier testing. This person communicates with you in chat when physically there is such an opportunity. Of course I am helped by guys with hearts of gold, who have a signature in Discord CPU/GPU GURU, bow down to them.
The development of the project has not stopped in any direction, but in some directions I'm really stalling because I can't find the right approach that will satisfy the majority rather than a certain percentage of the public. After a short break and some ideas from @Veii, I started a new research that should be a new generation of CPU diagnostics. The first test version will already be available at the end of the month, as usual. The second main focus is to work on the accuracy of GPU diagnostics.
3. To summarize the previous two points, I am at least offended to see rudeness or reports of "cheating". I hate to see accusations against guys who wear the CPU/GPU GURU labels. I think it's fair to apply the indefinite ban feature to sources of conflict.
4. It's no secret that AMD or NVIDIA don't like this project, as it may affect interest in new products and reduce their future profits or just show some incompetence in terms of factory optimization. Therefore, I am currently an independent developer, and your donations are the engine of further development. I also managed to buy a 2 kW solar power plant with your donations. I will say one thing, independence is very expensive.
5. Free PRO version. I would like to thank the users who have been subscribers or are subscribers now, who have been helpful or patient - the PRO version will be available at the end of September (possibly October). The time frame will vary depending on how successful the research I'm working on now is.
Thank you!
