Mario Kart 64 races onto PC with unofficial port, no emulation necessary

techspot.com Alfonso Maruccia 2025-09-23 13:47:00

The big picture: Emulating the Nintendo 64 has always been a contentious topic. The release of UltraHLE was a landmark moment, offering a way to run commercial N64 games at playable frame rates on Windows 9x when the console was barely three years old. Today, the situation has improved dramatically, with more accurate emulation options and alternative ways to faithfully recreate Nintendo's gameplay magic on the PC. The Harbour Masters collective has once again achieved the impossible. The team

Still upset about last summer’s Spotify price bump? These lawmakers are on the case

Tech Team / Android Authority TL;DR Last year Spotify introduced audiobook access and raised pricing for Premium plans. While there was still a music-only Basic option, these senators don’t think consumers were made adequately aware. They also accuse Spotify of orchestrating the whole change to lower its payouts to musicians. Streaming services raising their prices is just as inevitable as death and taxes, and year after year, we slowly end up paying more and more for that access. While we m

Trump Says U.S. Won’t Respond to Iran’s Retaliatory Strike in Qatar

“Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday afternoon. “There have been 14 missiles fired—13 were knocked down, and 1 was ‘set free,’ because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction. I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done.” The Iranian military launched about a dozen missiles toward Al Udeid Ai

Ted Cruz can’t get all Republicans to back his fight against state AI laws

A Republican proposal to penalize states that regulate artificial intelligence can move forward without requiring approval from 60 senators, the Senate parliamentarian decided on Saturday. But the moratorium on state AI laws did not have unanimous Republican support and has reportedly been watered down in an effort to push it toward passage. In early June, Sen.

Researchers get viable mice by editing DNA from two sperm

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-23 13:34:11

For many species, producing an embryo is a bit of a contest between males and females. Males want as many offspring as possible, and want the females to devote as many resources as possible to each of them. Females are better at keeping their options open and distributing resources in a way to maximize the number of offspring they can produce over the course of their lives. In mammals, this plays out through the chemical modification of DNA, a process called imprinting. Males imprint their DNA

Everybody Needs to Calm Down About the Switch 2 Screen and ‘Ghosting’

Apple’s Liquid Glass interface improves with release of iOS 26 Beta 2

With Monday’s release of iOS 26 Beta 2, Apple has fixed one of the more glaring issues with Liquid Glass, its divisive new user interface design for the iPhone, iPad, and other Apple devices, announced earlier this month at its WWDC 2025.

Choose wisely! The correct answer, the explanation, and an intriguing story await. Correct Answer: Jumpman Mario was created by Shigeru Miyamoto in the early 1980s while he was developing Donkey Kong, Nintendo's breakout arcade hit.

Apple tweaks Control Center visibility in iOS 26 beta 2
