The XIM360 mod allows users to control their Xbox 360 with a keyboard and mouse but it also has an API for developers to write their own tools. I used this one to convert Sinden lightgun input to 360 input. I salvaged it from electronic recycling long ago.

VLC is for everyone.

mpv is for people who want complete control.

mpv supports:

• Virtually every video format
• Hardware video decoding
• HDR playback
• Frame interpolation
• Color management
• Custom shaders
• User scripts
• Advanced playback controls

And unlike many modern media players:

• No ads
• No bloat
• No account required
• Completely open source

It may look simple on the surface.

Under the hood, it's one of the most powerful media players ever created.

Watch the full tutorial to see why so many enthusiasts refuse to use anything else.

What's your current default media player?

TWO BOXES THE SIZE OF A MAC MINI JUST RAN A 235 BILLION PARAMETER MODEL ON A DESK

It is two NVIDIA DGX Spark units linked by a single cable.

A year ago a model this size meant renting a GPU cluster by the hour. Now it sits next to your monitor for around $8,000.

Here is the twist most people miss. Linking them does not create one shared 256GB memory pool.

The model is split across both boxes, and that is the only reason a 235B model fits at all.

It answers at roughly 10 tokens per second, and both chips sit at just 74 degrees while sipping around 50 watts.

Every token stays on the desk. Nothing touches a cloud, and nothing leaves the room.

The ceiling for what you can run at home just jumped from 70B to 235B.

This might be the cleanest video downloader I've seen in years.

EGM Downloader supports:

• 1000+ websites
• Up to 8K video quality
• FLAC audio downloads
• Playlist downloads
• Batch processing
• Subtitle embedding
• Download history
• Custom file naming

But that's not what makes it interesting.

The app runs entirely on your computer.

No accounts.
No analytics.
No tracking.
No cloud processing.

Just a fast, open-source downloader powered by yt-dlp.

And somehow it still includes 400 customizable themes.

Watch the full video for a complete setup guide and feature breakdown.

Could this replace your current downloader?

The print came out surprisingly well. Had a bit of trimming to do here and there, but got the Wii Mini PCB to fit.

OptimizerDuck, open-source tool yang bikin lo uninstall CCleaner.

Ini bukan cuma "cleaner" biasa. Dia gabungin 30+ tweak Windows dalam satu app, dari matiin telemetry, block bloatware, sampai GPU registry tweaks yang biasanya lo harus edit manual.

Yang gue suka, dia kasih risk rating buat setiap tweak. Jadi lo tau sebelum apply, bukan asal pencet terus nyesel.

Fitur yang kerasa banget:
- Disable Windows telemetry, Cortana, Copilot, advertising ID
- Startup manager, lo bisa matiin semua app yang auto jalan pas boot
- Service host tuning based on RAM lo
- Custom high-performance power plan
- Keyboard latency reduction buat gaming

Dan semua reversible. Ga cocok? Balikin lagi.

Yang paling penting adalah, portable .exe. Download, langsung jalan. Ga install, ga registry sampah. Bisa di USB stick.

Dan dia open-source, bukan freemium yang nanti nagih. 2.3k stars, aktif dikembangin (commit terakhir 2 hari lalu). Support 8 bahasa termasuk Indonesia? Engga. Tapi EN, Vietnam, China, Korea, Prancis, Spanyol, Rusia ada.

Linux gaming just got another major upgrade.

CachyOS Proton is a custom Proton build designed to push Windows games even further on Linux.

The latest release adds:

• Automatic HDR detection
• Wayland improvements
• Better Vulkan compatibility
• DXVK-Sarek support
• FSR4 enhancements
• DLSS integration improvements
• Lower latency options
• Multiple game-specific fixes

Supported on:

• Steam Deck
• Linux gaming PCs
• AMD GPUs
• NVIDIA GPUs
• Wayland desktops
• X11 desktops

Notable fixes include:

• Mega Man Legacy Collection 2
• Trails in the Sky FC
• Unravel
• Unravel Two

The coolest feature?

It can automatically detect older GPUs that don't support Vulkan 1.3 and switch to a more compatible rendering path.

Linux gaming has come a long way from "hopefully it launches."

Do you use standard Proton or a custom build like GE-Proton or Proton-CachyOS?

What do you mean, you can make an optical spectrometer at home with cheap hardware?

[The Peaceful Outcome @PeacefulOutcome]

Started working on a Wii Mini yesterday. I got the kits from @webhdx to restore the SD card and Wifi.

Holy small components! Adding these components is definitely the smallest soldering work I've ever done. Thankfully, I think I got it all done.

I did open the 0402 ferrite bead package a bit too aggressively... those suckers went flying and I'm positive they vaporized in the air because I couldn't find them to save my life. Thankfully, I had a second kit and very carefully grabbed one from there (he sends 2x of the small components).

The M.22WiiU is now available on our website.

https://t.co/MNboMXIjnH

The kit allows mounting a SATA (not NVMe) m.2 SSD inside your Wii U. No more bulky external drive or swapping DVDs. Load times are a little quicker too (~6%). Fits 2230 to 2280 size SSDs. We have black & white kits.

Dear Quest Pro, Galaxy XR, and any SLAM-tracked HMD users,

An app called Space Override just dropped that greatly improves PCVR tracking. No more misaligned playspaces or constant recalibration.

It outperforms Space Calibrator's Continuous Calibration. Details below👇

[K-Tech VRC @Aeon_07_]

Fun new asset I thought up one night. A variety of magic effects you can activate with a custom snap animation!

Comes with eight individual effects. Four full effects and four smaller to mirror the larger ones!
-Electric
-Sonic
-Explosive
-Hollow purple

Soulart Station demo with Warudo (VMC).
We're also testing integration with Rokoko gloves.

No suits. No straps. No calibration.
Just install Station in your room!😻

Making contacts in VRChat isn’t difficult.
It’s just annoying.

I’m tired of this routine. That’s why I created Contact Master inside ACHT Hub. Now the process looks like this:
Drop Avatar Descriptor -> Drop Animation -> Select Bone -> see the preview sphere right away -> Build -> and test it on the avatar immediately.
That’s it. No magic just a short, straightforward workflow.
It’s especially helpful when there are a lot of contacts. While filming the demo, I caught a couple of bugs in use.
I fixed everything right away and released v1.6.1

Just being honest: I test on my own avatars -> fix things on the fly. The video below shows the whole process from start to finish.

The giveaway is still going on check out the pinned post

NVIDIA charges you $19.99 a month to stream games you already own.

And starting January 2026, they cap you at 100 hours.

One engineer from New Zealand built the free version with no cap.

It is called Steam Headless. 3,177 stars on GitHub. GPL-2.0.

Built by Josh Sunnex. 225 commits. The next contributor has 16. He has done more work than everyone else combined.

It is a Docker container that turns any spare PC, server, or NAS into your own personal cloud gaming machine.

Install Steam inside it. Mount your games folder. Open a browser on your phone, your laptop, your tablet, your TV.

Your games are right there. Streaming. From your own hardware. To anywhere in the world.

It supports NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs.
It streams over Moonlight, Steam Link, or straight to a web browser.
It runs Proton so Windows games work on Linux.
It installs Heroic, Lutris, and EmuDeck with one click for your non-Steam games.
It runs on Debian Trixie, Unraid, Ubuntu Server, or Docker Compose.

Last update: April 20, 2026. Still maintained. Still by one man from New Zealand.

Now compare the math.

GeForce NOW Ultimate: $19.99 a month. $239.88 a year. Forever. Capped at 100 hours per month. Run out? Pay $5.99 for another 15 hours.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: $22.99 a month. $275.88 a year. Forever. You stream Microsoft's games on Microsoft's hardware on Microsoft's terms.

Steam Headless: $0. Forever. Your hardware. Your games. Your network. No hour cap. No queue. No throttle.

Buy a used GPU once. Run this container. Stream your entire Steam library to any device on the planet.

That is the entire pitch.

But DO NOT install it. We should all keep paying NVIDIA and Microsoft to play the games we already bought.

100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)

[No Router, Just Vibes 🛜🥽 @vrhotspot]

New backend tools, allowing me to safely add and roll back changes without breaking anything.

This release mostly sets the FRAMEwork for future releases, so nothing interesting here yet. 😃
