  • Fear not, yuzu may be gone but there are always alternatives. Plus like YouTube Vanced, the yuzu latest build is likely to continue to work for the foreseeable future.

    For a thriving alternative, check out Ryujinx, and keep an eye out for Yuzu mainline getting picked up by another team with a slightly higher barrier to entry.

    The neat thing about open source software is they are really hard to kill unless interest burns out, but considering how hard yuzu has been hitting headlines I think the Streisand effect will take it course.





  • Upgraded my ram, CPU was still a ways out but I maxed the speed anyway.

    System kept locking up during games, couldn’t pin down why, ended up destroying the graphics drivers trying to fix it and eventually got frustrated enough to start fresh.

    Turns out I exceeded the max ram speed my CPU supported (was running 3600hz on a Ryzen 2600…) Switched it back and everything went back to normal.




  • I might be a little paranoid here so feel free to lmk, but a few uses for the data gathered by a foreign government/keeping people addicted:

    The most obvious: Propaganda to push people to distrust their government

    The less reasonable but still possible: Time wasting, people spend less time trying new things due to the lack of instant gratification, decreasing productivity/capability of the users. We’ve seen China begin to address this domestically with new laws limiting usage, what the US would consider overreach (unless it effects the bottom line perhaps?)

    The downright unreasonable: Profile building using accounts as a digital fingerprint to determine military capability, it’s amazing what people will advertise about themselves online, TikTok occasionally tells people what illness (mental or physical) before even they are formally diagnosed. Imagine leveraging that information in a ‘unethical’ way, the possibilities are endless.
