A comparison of the two leading retro emulators finds that Dolphin, which handles GameCube games, is generally considered more accurate and easier to run than PCSX2, the PS2 emulator, despite PCSX2 covering a slightly larger percentage of its console's library. Both are free, open-source tools available on Windows, macOS and Linux, with Dolphin also supporting Android, and neither requires top-end graphics hardware to run games at 4K/60fps.

Tesla is circulating an interest form asking businesses whether they want to purchase and operate their own Cybercab fleets on its robotaxi network, splitting revenue with the company. This mirrors a promise Elon Musk made back in 2019, when he claimed owners could earn up to $30,000 a year in gross profit by putting their cars on the 'Tesla Network,' a plan that never materialized for any owner.
After moving his daily workflow from a MacBook to a Framework 16 running CachyOS Linux, a developer found no adequate replacement for Apple Keynote's Magic Move feature when animating code snippets in presentations. He describes building his own tool from first principles to handle smooth, token-aware transitions between code blocks, something Keynote fumbles because it treats code as plain glyphs rather than structured syntax.
Hohem showed an early prototype of the Eyepic at IFA Berlin, a compact device that combines a mechanically stabilized gimbal camera with a detachable, waterproof wearable camera. It shoots 4K video at 60fps in both horizontal and vertical orientation by physically rotating the gimbal head rather than cropping the sensor, and its 2.5-inch touchscreen pivots to match. The camera body snaps onto the gimbal magnetically and mechanically, and Hohem plans a range of magnetic mounts for hats, bikes and backpacks ahead of a Q1 next year release.
