    Someone put together a client in which "AI tools are used for reverse engineering." Not an official release from the Xodus project, but quite a bit of the games seem to be working, and hopefully this means that things are starting to move in the right direction.

    I like it and I like a few of the games on the platform, and I really like that the emulation scene has taken off. But I can't say I've used it that much in the past year, and looking at eBay prices since they are no longer available, I'm considering maybe cashing out.

    I'm not personally a fan of a lot of Microsoft's decisions with Xbox (or other actions in delicate geopolitical situations), but every once in a while the broken clock strikes true. Xbox could do some wild stuff with the games they have source to and can legally redistribute, and if they start jumping on the decomp/recomp train, their games could become a lot more portable and configurable and wild stuff could happen. The other end of this is the 3 Es of it all, but even if they're trying to get ahead of a wave to ride it, they recognize a sea change and are going to work with it rather than fight it.

    It's kind of wild to see the convergent evolution in the handheld PC space. DroidDeck adding multiple storefronts, Gamenative going into VR, Armada OS is a SteamOS rom for Android handhelds that is adding Android functionality back in through Lepton. Wild to see where this is all going to be in a few months, especially if some of the side effects of RAMageddon are that phones are the most powerful devices some people have.

    (Not a lawyer, not a UK citizen, but it's a little odd that the official stance of BBC News is that you can stream it without a license, and it would be awfully hard to enforce, but you'd better not.)

    What is happening to Companion Pass qualifying points?

    Starting January 1, 2027, certain activities that helped you qualify for a Companion Pass by earning Companion Pass qualifying points do not earn Tier Qualifying Points. Therefore, these activities, while still earning Rapid Rewards points, will not assist you in earning Companion Pass benefits. These include new Cardmember welcome bonuses, referral bonuses, anniversary points, and bonus points from spend (e.g., 2x on gas), as well as partner spend (e.g., hotel, car).

    Southwest Companion Pass was considered to be the gold standard for flight promotions, with the Southwest personal and business cards providing enough points on welcome offers alone to be able to gain flights for a designated companion for only the required taxes (~$10 round trip) if you flew with them for the rest of the calendar year and an additional year on top of that. With this change in the loyalty program, getting that Companion Pass status is much harder next year.

    Description

    Told in real-time through the lens of a cult-favorite late-night AM radio show, the series follows a host (played by Ethan) whose eerie, conspiracy-themed call-in program takes a chilling turn. One night, he receives a call from a man claiming to be part of a secret U.S. space mission lost to history—just the first thread in a sprawling web of government cover-ups, interdimensional breaches, and psychological warfare.

    As the broadcast unfolds, strange signals hidden in the radio static reveal themselves. With each episode building on the last, one question grows more urgent—who, or what, is really on the other end of the line? And what do they want?
