PS2 emulation on Android just got a big update, but be careful which version you install

Trying out Nvidia’s RTX 50 Series GPU on a Falcon Northwest gaming PC | review

Kelt Reeves has been creating custom gaming PCs since 1992.

I have interviewed Reeves over the years and used a number of his machines. I saw him again on a sad occasion at the memorial service for Gordon Mah Ung, one of the original and finest gaming hardware reviewers. I tried out a Falcon Northwest machine back in 2019, and I used the Falcon

Boston Dynamics robots dance to ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ for ‘America’s Got Talent’ audition

A dance crew of four-legged robots from Boston Dynamics appeared on “America’s Got Talent” to perform a synchronized routine to Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now.” Their performance was impressive enough to earn four “yes” votes from the judges — but one of the five robots experienced some stage fright, perhaps, and shut down in the middle of the routine. But the show must go on, so nevertheless, the four other robots persisted. “Can I be honest with you?” judge Simon Cowell asked at the conclusion o

OxCaml - a set of extensions to the OCaml programming language.

Let’s talk about what this means! OxCaml’s extensions are meant to make OCaml a great language for performance engineering. Performance engineering requires control, and we want that control to be: Safe. Safety is a critical feature for making programmers more productive, and for shipping correct code.

Rust compiler performance

Perhaps the most often repeated complaint about Rust is its slow feedback loop and long compilation times. I hear about it all the time; in Rust podcasts, blog posts, surveys, conference talks or offline discussions. I also regularly complain about it, being a Rust user myself!

Lenovo Legion Go S review (Windows version): Not so fast

Lenovo has already teased the second-gen version of its flagship gaming handheld. But that won’t be out until much later this year, so in the meantime, it’s come out with the Legion Go S, a slightly sturdier and more portable way to frag while you’re out and about. Now the tricky thing about this device is that it will be available in a bunch of different configurations including one that comes pre-installed with SteamOS — a first for any portable PC not made by Valve. Frankly, that’s the versio
