Publishers are absolutely terrified "preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes," so the US copyright office has struck down a major effort for game preservation
  • Not The Onion version: "'People might actually have fun': Publishers squash video game preservation movement"

    If folks today learned that games existed which could be played offline, had no dlc, no microtransactions, no skinner boxes. And those games were actually fun, clearly the whole industry would collapse lol.

  • Unsure of what my next upgrade should be for my gaming rig
  • I don't know if it's this simple but:

    If your computer is for gaming, play games you like at settings that you want, and see if CPU, GPU, or memory utilization reach 100%. Whichever it is, that would be your bottleneck.

    Edit: while your CPU is getting a little older, your RAM is also pretty slow. It's hard to say if you need to upgrade the RAM alone. Because if you do, you might as well upgrade the CPU (and motherboard) at the same time.

    apnews.com ‘I’m walking here!’: Jaywalking legalized in New York City

    Jaywalking is now legal in New York City. Legislation passed by the City Council officially became law over the weekend after Mayor Eric Adams declined to sign or veto it after 30 days.

    Are you sure you want to install that Windows Update, mon Ami?

    Let me know if this gets annoying. He's probably going to live in here for the time being. Hopefully not causing too much mischief. A little is ok.

    grist.org NYC's food delivery workers are sweltering in the heat — and demanding more protection

    New York City, the city that never sleeps, is also an incredibly hard place to take a break — if your job is jetting across town on a bike delivering takeout and groceries. “As things stand, there isn’t a designated place for us to rest while working,” Antonio Solis, an app-based delivery worker fro...

    Govee Smart Fan 2 w/ Matter: thoughts and connectivity/reset tips

    I picked up a couple of these fans for my home, and after some initial setup quirks, they're working reliably with Matter and HomeKit. HomeKit lets you adjust fan speed and oscillation; you cannot adjust the oscillation angles. These fans can push a lot of air if you want, and on lower settings they're totally silent while still providing a pleasant breeze.

    Folks are discussing it on that other site, but since I don't use it, I wanted to post some things here. Hopefully so DDG/Google/Bing can still find useful results. Someone can link Redditors to here if they want:

    • Pairing and control (when not responsive): Any HomeKit pairing and control issues could be because the Govee app cannot be open or running at the same time. I have to force quit the Govee app on my phone in order to get it to relinquish control to HomeKit. I hope Govee figures out how to remove this limitation, but I don't use their app so I don't care too much.
    • Hard reset instructions: The Reddit thread (and Govee website!) have it wrong. To reset the device, you have to hold the Mode and Timer buttons for 5 seconds. This is mentioned on a little paper insert they included with the fan.

    You know about Elf on the Shelf, but what about:

    A "Christian, conservative, Constitution supporter" is holding the opposite of Pride Month at his Boise bar... but it still sounds pretty gay.

    Trenta Tre Pizzeria, NYC Midtown, $4.34

    The slices are pretty wide even if they're short. Everything was cold but my toaster oven brought it back to life perfectly. Yummy and a good value. Would buy again!
