Gopher64 has quietly become the emulator that N64 fans point to first in 2026, and the search numbers back it up. Monthly search volume for the term climbed from roughly 390 in September 2025 to 1,600 by mid-2026, according to DataForSEO keyword data, a jump that tracks almost exactly with the emulator’s own release cadence.…
Cursor’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration has quietly become one of the most searched setup topics among developers moving between Visual Studio Code and Cursor in 2026. Searches for “cursor mcp servers” now pull roughly 720 monthly queries in the US, and the reason is simple: MCP lets an AI coding agent reach outside the…
An open-source command-line tool built by a solo developer has done something Apple never officially offered: boot a complete, real copy of iOS as a virtual machine on a Mac. The project, called vphone-cli, jumped from a niche GitHub repo to nearly 12,000 stars in under seven months, and as of this week it runs…
A PS5 game just booted on a Steam Deck without a network connection doing the work. On August 13, 2026, an open-source project called SharpEmu got Astro’s Playroom, the platformer bundled with every PlayStation 5, running locally on Valve’s handheld through the PlayStation Studios splash screen and into its loading sequence. The frame rate hovered…
Local co-op died with the living room. Most retro sessions today happen with a friend three states away, and screen-sharing tools like Parsec add a full frame of lag on top of whatever the emulator itself costs you. Netplay skips that tax by syncing inputs, not video, which is why Dolphin, RetroArch, and PCSX2 all…
OpenAI shipped the Agents API into public beta on September 10, 2026, and it changes the default way developers wire up autonomous coding and research agents. Instead of stitching together the Responses API, a custom orchestration loop, and a sandbox provider, you now call a single managed endpoint that runs the same Codex harness OpenAI…
Every Steam Deck owner eventually hits the same wall: a game launches fine on Windows but crashes, stutters, or refuses to boot on Linux. The fix usually isn’t a new graphics driver or a reinstalled game. It’s a different build of Proton. As of September 2026, Valve’s default Proton sits at version 11.0-2, the community-maintained…
Kubernetes cost management sits at the center of the broader cloud computing conversation in 2026, and clusters are running hotter on cost than almost anything else in the infrastructure budget. The numbers back that up. Cast AI’s 2026 State of Kubernetes Optimization Report, based on telemetry from tens of thousands of production clusters across AWS,…
Three weeks ago, a single line item on a benchmark tracker started a debate that’s still running through engineering Slack channels: an open-weight model from DeepSeek matched a flagship Claude release on coding accuracy at roughly a tenth of the price. That comparison, and the parallel rise of Meta’s Llama 4 family, has pushed a…
If you can write down how you do your work, you can automate it. Here’s what I did to support GitHub’s APAC marketing team. The post Marketing ops as code: Automating events from planning to follow-up on GitHub appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
