Has @xbox.com announced if the Digital Direct program will cover titles from older systems (provided they're at least on the backwards compatible list)? I'd still love to see more classic XBLA games.

First time I've seen this in YEARS when I wasn't manually trying to do something like a Windows 10 to 11 manual upgrade. Just the standard monthly updated. Rebooted 3x so far, showing the same message every time. Every. Single. Month. @microsoft.com What is happening in 2026?

The guy spends his whole day retweeting ("re-truthing") a bot named Oksana Trump because it strokes his ego with AI pictures, then threatens genocide before breakfast. Neat.

Olympic Figure Skating scoring revamped 20 years ago and people still hate it. Solution: Grade on a curve. Highest and lowest scores eliminated from the averaging. Problem solved.

Network appliance at home that isn't exactly reliable (but also isn't worth replacing right now). Created a script to monitor and restart the interface when it fails. If interface is still down after that, reboot the appliance. Run as cron. Simple.

I did provide feedback, but if I may: one question asked if podcast length was a consideration... but it didn't specify "too long" vs. "too short." IMO, over 2 hours is getting too long. I'm just a single data point, but I definitely find myself skimming through episodes more than I used to.

BREAKING: Hundreds of sensitive U.S. records obtained by WIRED undercut the Trump administration’s claims portraying Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua as a unified terrorist force invading the country. Intelligence agencies spent much of 2025 unsure TdA even functioned as an organization on U.S. soil.

Trump Warned of a Tren de Aragua ‘Invasion.’ US Intel Told a Different Story
Hundreds of records obtained by WIRED show thin intelligence on the Venezuelan gang in the United States, describing fragmented, low-level crime rather than a coordinated terrorist threat.

I'm increasingly convinced that Miller and the groyper element in Trump's administration want to trigger a second US civil war, and that's a reason why Frey and Walz have been so cautious about deploying Minnesotan police and security forces around these ICE/CBP incidents.

@analogue.bsky.social basically sells things that sell out in ten minutes, but that "Duo" just sits there - people just uninterested in Turbografx 16 / PC-Engine at that price. I wonder if they offered even a small discount code to existing customers if that would move the remainders?

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

They could've talked about chromosomes, but instead they talked about production of Egg vs. Sperm *at conception.* Since there is no possible way that a Y chromosome can activate the SOX9 gene that early, by the official White House definition, we're all female now! Glad that's settled.
