Attempted terrorist attack on a Hindu temple in Illinois. Thankfully failed. Bricks broke windows at a Hindu temple in Ohio earlier this month. Hard not to see a connection with the recent rise in racism against South Asians spurred by a GOP politician denouncing brown-skinned Texas football fans.

Late evening in Kyiv. Darkness is dotted with pale light from windows. Power outage. A familiar voice outside assured everyone that the air raid alert was over. When did it begin? These days, the attacks seem continuous. I see no need to complain or grumble. I write. You read. I write.

DaniCorpHQ presented LASRecomp as, to its knowledge, the first project to publicly offer a ready-to-use recompiled version of a Nintendo Switch game. According to them, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening (2019) could thus run natively on PC, under Windows, Linux, and macOS, without emulation. They specified that one needed to provide their own dump of version 1.0.0 as well as their prod.keys. DaniCorpHQ added that the project notably offered ultrawide display, internal resolution adjustment, SMAA, FSR1, 360-degree movement, removal of blur, support for keyboard and controllers, as well as an integrated randomizer. They estimated that 2026 marked a particularly important year for recompilations. https://t.co/BnLSITIrsK #NintendoSwitch #Zelda #JeuxVidéo (translated)

Sucumba Games stated that fans ported Forza Horizon 2, previously exclusive to Xbox consoles, to PC using the Azimuth project, which allows Xbox One games to run on Windows. According to the author, the game ran at over 60 FPS and had 4K resolution support. He also mentioned that AI programming tools were helping with complex stages of the ports, although they still required refinement by programmers, and contributed to the wave of fan-made ports and the trend of mixing games with Minecraft. #ForzaHorizon2 #Jogos #PortasDeJogos (translated)

AlkoInwestor wrote that his ETF on the S&P 500 was reaching new heights. He described an imagined journey on the Łódź public transport, during which he wanted to thank passengers for their purchases that support companies in the index. Among the examples, he mentioned using Instagram on an iPhone, drinking Coca-Cola, working on a laptop with Windows, eating McDonald's, browsing Amazon, and watching YouTube. He also added Apple, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Starbucks. He presented the passengers as people who earned money and then spent it on products and services from companies in which, as he wrote, he was an indirect co-owner. The author announced that he would be buying more ETF units every month and checking whether people were working hard enough. He linked this to a call for them to buy, subscribe, scroll through social media, change phones every two years, and choose large fries at McDonald's. #inwestowanie #finanse #ETF (translated)
