gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-26 11:00:38

Of the mass number of retro gaming handhelds available today, the one missing link is a device that can help us relive the days when dual-screen gaming reigned supreme. The best options for Nintendo DS software emulation are either too flat or too expensive. Niche handheld maker Ayaneo may have a winner with its new iteration of the Pocket DS featuring a large 7-inch screen and a smaller secondary touchscreen, all housed in a clamshell that’s so damn easy to take on the road.

zdnet.com Steven Vaughan-Nichols 2025-12-27 04:40:13

herraez/Getty Images The changes in the latest Linux kernel, Linux 6.16, may be small, but they include some significant ones. Linus Torvalds himself summed up this release as looking fine, small, and calm, but not "really not all that interesting (in all the best ways!)." Here's my list of what's new and improved. First, the Rust language is continuing to become more well-integrated into the kernel. At the top of my list is that the kernel now boasts Rust bindings for the driver core and PCI
