Let’s keep this trend up! #RenewableEnergy #Solar #Wind hardware.slashdot.org/story/26/05/...

#ZSNES was the best emulator in the early 2000s, it was one of the only #SNES emulators that worked almost flawlessly! Which was notable because most emulation back then was very hit and miss! Looks like the original devs are back at it with their new “Super ZSNES”! retrododo.com/supe-znes-em...

I am just blown away at how far #PC game translation layers have come for #Android! I am getting great performance and compatibility on my AYN Thor. #GameNative, #Wine, #Proton and all the other projects and devs working on these have done some amazing work! youtu.be/CHVHFR6U9dQ

Wow! Gaussian Splatting is incredible! This is a huge game changer in both videos and video games! youtu.be/X8yRlA7jqEQ

These are pretty neat! Color #eink “Polaroids” that you can tap and upload a photo to without the need for wifi or a battery to keep charged! www.theverge.com/tech/898162/...

Anyone else have “lyrical blindness” when listening to #music? I don’t process lyrics unless I focus hard on them, and I guess there is also an opposite phenomenon where your mind focuses primarily on the lyrics and their meaning before the actual music… just depends on how your brain is wired. 🧠

Need a #router or #gateway? Build your own! youtu.be/04oL0qVSWJE

So awesome! This guy built his own clean room and #silicon etcher in his backyard so he can build his own #semiconductors! Talk about dedication! Would love to see how successful he gets! youtu.be/HfSO-LCKmrA

Did you know you can run 100% local #AI models on your iPhone? Check out #Enclave app! When running small distilled AI models like these, just know they are less accurate than big cloud models, but still a nice option for small inquiries! apps.apple.com/app/id647661...

#Apple #Silicon is hands down the best hardware to run local #LLM and #AI models! Looking forward to testing out the new M5 Max! youtu.be/XGe7ldwFLSE

Been playing with local #AI models and lately I have been really impressed with #Qwen open-source #LLM models. Qwen-3.5 and Qwen-Next recently dropped and have been great for assisting on projects! I also recommend #Zed IDE, which pairs great with #Ollama or #LMStudio. No cloud needed, 100% local!

We might be on the cusp of unlocking speeds of older chipsets by using #AI to find inefficiencies in the firmware. So we could see a massive jump in performance for older tech some day! Let’s just hope companies find a profitable way of making their old hardware better, so the incentive is there… 😅

If anyone wants to not support AI data centers, but still wants access to #AI. Download LM-Studio or Ollama and run AI on your own hardware. If you have a slower machine, keep your “B” low. Ex: ModelName-4B. While smaller models like this are not perfect, they can still be helpful!

This is such a crazy story, and a great lesson on #FOSS security! Story about how the internet was almost completely hacked! youtu.be/aoag03mSuXQ

Happy 40th Birthday #Zelda! Still one of the best game franchises ever made! Thank you #Nintendo and Miyamoto.

#Github Tip: If you come across a project that hasn’t been updated in a long time or is no longer maintained. Navigate to “Insights>Forks” or just add “/forks” to the end of the projects URL. Here you can see if anyone else has made their own fork of the project and is continuing development.

#LPT Flash drives and #SSD drives will begin to lose your data after only 2-3 years, if left unplugged. So don’t use them as a backup solution for something important! HDD drives are the best option for long term backups.

The No ICE in Minnesota Charity Bundle has officially LAUNCHED! There are 1,439 games to discover for a $10+ donation to Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota! Purchase the bundle here: itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

#LPT Get a dash cam for your car! They are inexpensive and could save you thousands of dollars down the road. Also, don’t cheap out on the SD card, pay a little extra and get a “high endurance” SD card, or at minimum a popular brand name. Always avoid very cheap SD cards.

Playing #Snatcher on #SegaCD and loving it! A #Kojima classic! The navigation can be clunky at times, but considering it came out in 1988, it was way ahead of its time! If you love #Cyberpunk and #Bladerunner, this is worth a play!

A nice list of #diy #hardware projects to do with an #ESP32 #microcontroller! itsfoss.com/esp32-microc...

If you enjoy #Audiobooks, check out soundbooth.app! They do entire productions with sound effects and voice acting, and they are offering the first part of “Dungeon Crawler Carl” for free right now! Highly recommend it!

At EFF we spend a lot of time thinking about the tech used by police and authorities to spy on you while you’re going about your everyday life, like cell-site simulators (CSS). Rayhunter is a tool we’ve created that we hope empowers everyone to help search out CSS. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Played through the first #PhoenixWright game on #NintendoDS. Had a great time! Fun stories, fun characters, loved all the anime pixel art. I ended up playing via #emulation on my phone, since its almost entirely a touch based game. It played perfectly and worked great in a vertical layout.

Not sure why this is so hidden on #iPhone… but you can convert images to jpg, png, gif, pdf, etc directly on your phone without any apps. Just use this #shortcut I made. Once added, go to any image, tap share it, and scroll down to “convert image” button... 🤯 www.icloud.com/shortcuts/27...

This is awesome! Use #Mushrooms for storing data!? #Biotech www.techspot.com/news/110018-...

I built a small portable Timelapse Camera using a #RaspberryPi Zero. Check it out! github.com/dansl/Pi-Cam...

“Magic Carpet” 1 and 2 are some of the most unique #retrogames ever made! I played them in the 90’s, and I still play them even today. The first game was even ported to #Playstation and #SegaSaturn (PS1 version is better). Highly recommend playing them! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_C...

Right to repair and true digital ownership is so important! Love seeing initiatives like this! fulu.org

Full self-driving cars will not succeed without a #LiDAR and vision combination. LiDAR fills the voids that a “vision-only” vehicle leaves behind. I recently discovered #Luminar and am very excited about their LiDAR+vision tech! Really hoping it becomes the standard! www.luminartech.com

#LPT: Buy a #Battery tester! Every time I have changed batteries on a device, I find that only 1 or 2 of the batteries were bad, while the others were perfectly fine. Also, use rechargeable batteries! They might be expensive up front, but will save you tons of money down the road!

Anyone else prefer to start their calendars on Monday… or am I just crazy?

Awesome! Some amazing devs took the time to finish making a fully working #GameBoy emulator for the #Playdate! github.com/CrankBoyHQ/c...

#PSA: You should almost always click “Deny” when asked about cookies/data collection on a website/app. Most will work just fine without allowing for data collection. Rarely will they say you can’t continue unless you accept. Always advocate for your #privacy!

One of the biggest issues with #Quantum computing is, we can’t actually verify the output is correct unless we already know the answer. Current solution to this is to compute the input multiple times and take the common denominator, assuming its correct… www.sciencealert.com/scientists-j...

Great example of why #retro games need a proper #CRT filter/effect when being played on a modern display. Still a matter of personal opinion… but the games artists intended it to be seen on a CRT display originally.

I grew up listening to #Ozzy, especially #BlackSabbath, and I loved watching #TheOsbournes and their shenanigans on tv in the early 2000s… you will be missed, but never forgotten… RIP Ozzy 🪦😔🥀🦇

Love this! #DIY cpu www.pcgamer.com/hardware/a-d...

We published this response to a recent article promoting insecure devices with /e/OS with inaccurate claims, including inaccurate comparisons to GrapheneOS: discuss.grapheneos.org/d/24134-devi... The founder of /e/OS has responded with misinformation promoting /e/OS and attacking GrapheneOS.

Really enjoying #DonkeyKongBananza, it reminds me a lot of #BowsersFury. Which was a fantastic game! One of the best #Mario Games IMO. Great job #Nintendo!

#LoRa #Mesh #Networking is great for de-centralized communication. Would love to see this tech develop further! www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

This is awesome! www.techspot.com/news/108565-...

Yes! I am a big fan of #Manjaro #Linux! Would love to snag one of these handhelds! www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/06/pric...

#DeathStranding2 is such a great game! Instant classic! 👍🏻👻

X-Files #LEGO set!? Yes Please!!! www.fangoria.com/x-files-lego...

#MelBrooks is such a national treasure, and I am so glad to hear he is still alive and well at the ripe age of 98! In fact, he’s well enough to come out of retirement and grace us with a sequel to #Spaceballs! So excited about this! www.theverge.com/news/687056/...

#Swift is becoming my new #programming language of choice. They keep adding interoperability tools and libraries and just overall makes coding much more accessible and enjoyable. Highly recommend checking it out. swift.org

Very cool! Love that #Apple is putting some attention into #Linux containers! I love using my #MacMini as a local server. appleinsider.com/articles/25/...
