  So what’s stopping the workers from saying no? If they have labor shortages then the job market should be favorable to the workers as you gotta be the most attractive employer, which would be those that don’t abuse that law and overwork their employees. It’s not like they can force people to work.

  Or just go anywhere else in the EU.

  It does away with the emulation entirely, that’s the crazy part. It’s basically a PC port but most of it is generated. Those features have been injected directly into the game itself. It renders at that resolution, no upscaling. It’s still low res textures but the anti aliasing and overall sharpness of it all works out well. The animations are interpolated in-game, no fancy frame predictions or anything.

  It would play absolutely fantastic at 720p on the Switch.

  And the emulators aren’t even particularly good compared to what the community has been cooking, especially the new N64 recompiler that runs the games with interpolation at 240Hz 4K HDR graphics with raytracing in proper 16:9. Meanwhile Nintendo didn’t even get the fog right on launch.

  The page just deletes itself for me when using that. It loads and .5 second later it just goes blank. They really don’t want people to bypass it.

  Paywalled medium article? I’ll pass.

  Fuck employers that steal from their employees paychecks though.

  I’ll never understand the people that fake these kinds of things. Fake watches, fake followers, fake views, fake likes, fake jobs. Why?

  What’s attractive about likes and views anyway? Why would I care that my date has 0 followers or a million followers? If anything it means they’ll constantly be busy streaming.

  There’s always Waydroid. Might need some tweaks to make it believe it has a real phone number attached to it, but it should work.

  I’m impressed NetZero is still around, let alone still free and working from such and old app.

  Must have been a solid 20 years I haven’t seen that banner!

  I’m hopeful that an experienced CEO taking over will help a lot with dealing with those issues. Linus has been burned out for a really long time, and it shows. His reaction is the one of a stressed person just blowing up and going defensive. He’s probably well aware that there’s problems and he’s unable to deal with it. We’ve known about that particular problem for 3 years.

  It’s grown well past the tech bros stage but still operates like a tech bros startup. The new CEO will hopefully run it like the media company it became, whether Linus likes it or not.

  Great reporting as usual from Steve from Gamer’s Nexus for exposing all of this.
