The team behind RPCS3, the open-source PlayStation 3 emulator, took to X today to very kindly and civilly request that users “stop submitting AI slop code pull requests” to its GitHub page. Then they immediately proceeded to tell the AI-brain-rotted tech bros attempting to justify their vibe-coding nonsense to kick rocks in the replies, which is somewhat less civil but far more entertaining to read. RPCS3 has been around since 2011, and it’s remained the go-to PS3 emulator of choice for the majority of users since. If you have ever used it, you don’t need me to tell you that…

Pinball. The real game of kings. Truly timeless, their design sensibilities date back centuries. Modernized for game halls in the 1930s, these machines have had repeated boom periods. This includes the ‘90s, when they sold the most, and now, as ‘90s kids are get nostalgic and prop up barcades. They also build on each other’s traditions, especially game design. Modes, multipliers, multi-balls, stacking different kinds of progression to make the most of your jackpots and bonuses. It makes for a complex engagement between rulesets, hand eye coordination and mechanical engineering, but it can also flummox new players. While suggesting you…

FM radio is fine. But “fine” is not really the standard most BMW owners are going for. SiriusXM satellite radio is the alternative that’s been quietly sitting in the background of many Bimmers for years – sometimes already installed, sometimes just waiting to be switched on. Here’s what it actually is, what you get when activating it, and whether it’s worth your time and money. What Is SiriusXM and How Does It Work in a BMW? SiriusXM is a satellite-based radio service that delivers audio content directly to your car without relying on local FM broadcast towers. Because the signal comes…

I previously stated that the last anime season, winter 2026, was one of the most stacked lineups in anime history. Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Ikoku Nikki, Hell’s Paradise, You And I Are Polar Opposites, Jujutsu Kaisen, Fate/Strange Fake, Golden Kamuy, Sentenced To Be A Hero–every day of every week for a solid three months, a new episode of an incredible anime dropped. It was honestly exhausting to keep up with. My steak was so juicy, and my lobster was so buttery that it was giving me heartburn. But if winter 2026’s lineup was the equivalent of heartburn, spring 2026 might…

The impact of 63.5 million cubic meters of rock hitting the fjord released forces large enough to be registered globally. The seismic waves that cascaded across the planet were recorded by sensor stations worldwide and were equivalent in energy to a magnitude 5.4 earthquake. The sloshing water within the fjord established a 66-second long-period seiche, a standing wave, that reverberated back and forth for 36 hours. “It could easily turn into a catastrophic disaster,” Fathian says. It could, because Tracy Arm is a highly frequented tourist destination. A close call During the summer, more than 20 boats navigate the Tracy…

Over the past six months, one man has essentially dedicated his life to attempting to beat Rockstar Games’ 2006 open-world classic Bully without hurting a single NPC. Ironically, his pacifist quest has resulted in him discovering several never-before-seen exploits that allow you to use some of the game’s most violent weapons outside of specific missions, including the sledgehammer, the explosive football, and, as of yesterday, a rifle. Content creator JustGarrison uploaded their discovery to YouTube last night, which includes the specific steps required to bring the rifle into free roam. Just to clarify, while this is an exploit, as Rockstar…

On a bright afternoon in Jiangsu, China, Xin Yin is playing personal trainer to some mice. One by one, he sets the rodents on a miniature treadmill that starts slow and gradually speeds up. These littermates are born athletes, able to run farther with less lactic acid buildup than average laboratory mice. The secret to their speediness isn’t carried in their genes—the animals come from the same genetic stock as a group of control mice. And they haven’t received any special training. Instead, their fitness seems to stem from their father’s exercise habits before they were even conceived. It’s a…

There’s another type of digital scam to be aware of, as per the BBC. It’s called “reservation hijacking.”The name gives you a clue as to how it works. Essentially, scammers use details about a booking you’ve placed (perhaps with a hotel or airline) to trick you into sending money somewhere you shouldn’t.While this type of scam isn’t brand new, a recent data breach at Booking.com has raised the risk of people being caught out. With data about you and your reservation, a far more convincing setup can be put in place—why wouldn’t you believe that someone purporting to be an…

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a six-propeller flying vehicle with a nearly eight-foot wingspan.For the next year, delivery drones operated by the British company Skyports are taking daily weekday trips across New York City’s East River, between the tip of Manhattan and a pier in Brooklyn. Since early May—a bit behind schedule—the drones have carried light cargo for a New York City health care system. Right now, those loads are basically a few pounds of paper; once the healthcare system is confident the setup works, it should include nonhazardous, non-biological packages, such as light pharmaceuticals.The drones are part…

After three people died on a cruise ship struck by a hantavirus, authorities are actively tracking down 29 people who had left the ship. They’re trying to trace the spread of the virus. It’s a long, arduous, global process to find and notify people who might be at risk of infection.Hey, wasn’t there supposed to be an app for that?Contact-tracing apps were a global effort starting in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. Enabled by phone companies like Apple and Google, contact tracing was designed to use Bluetooth connections to detect when people had come in contact with someone who had…
