News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

2. Use original link

Because they're easily moddable and have a decent screen size?
I recently modded my wife's old 3DS XL, and that's all well and good, but the screen sucks and I found out my MacBook can play 3DS games perfectly (via emulation) so now I've been dumping my carts through the 3DS (which also decrypts them) and just running them on the computer. Funny thing about Animal Crossing in particular, those games will generally ramp up to whatever hardware you have. Why they do this I have no idea since Nintendo hardware is so underpowered. But I have Animal Crossing New Leaf running in 4K (albeit in 4:3 or whatever the top screen was) and it looks almost as good as the Switch version (New Horizons). It's insane how good this old 3DS game from 10-15 years ago looks today on modern hardware. The Switch couldn't make New Leaf look this good if it wanted to. Maybe the Switch 2 could?
Interested to see if I can push City Folk (the DS version) or Wild World (the Wii version) this far.
But yeah, PSP is known to be an emulation beast. The problem was always the UMD drive, it drank battery like a frat guy drinks lite beer from a keg. But a modded PSP doesn't need the UMD drive at all; it loads everything from the memory card. Including ISOs of UMD games. So the battery life goes way up, since the battery was intended to support the UMD drive.
