Nearly all Nintendo 64 games can now be recompiled into native PC ports to add proper ray tracing, ultrawide, high FPS, and more
Nintendo could have raked in millions by doing it themselves, but they prefer their closed ecosystem.

Is lead toxicity from shooting guns a primary reason many Americans seem cognitively impaired ?
I think far more people are exposed to lead in water than from guns. Even gun-owning Americans don't go to the range that often.

I was an IT help desk manager for 10 years. Your attire is perfect, and it's a good sign that you're concerned about looking professional.
Here's a pro tip - In your interview you will almost certainly be asked how you'd solve an issue that you have no idea how to approach. What they're looking for is how you'll respond emotionally. The correct answer is to assure the end user that you will find a solution, don't panic, and then check internal documentation. "Have we run into this before?" Insist that the company should never have to solve the same issue twice because documentation is paramount. Never be afraid to say that you'd escalate the issue but KEEP OWNERSHIP. Ownership is huge to these people.
I'd be glad to go into more detail about what they'll be looking for if it will be helpful.
I won't wish you good luck because you've already got this!

Trump praises fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter during rally speech
The article didn't have the full quote, so here it is:
Silence of the Lambs. Has anyone ever seen The Silence of the Lambs? The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man. He often times would have a friend for dinner. Remember the last scene? ‘Excuse me. I’m about to have a friend for dinner,’ as this poor doctor walked by. ‘I’m about to have a friend for dinner.’ But Hannibal Lecter. Congratulations. The late, great Hannibal Lecter. We have people who are being released into our country that we don’t want in our country, and they’re coming in totally unchecked, totally unvetted.

Can A Piece of Shit Be Shittier?
One man's transphobia and horrible parenting is tearing this country to pieces. This is the worst possible timeline. I can't even begin to imagine what his daughter is feeling right now.

Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week
Why the fuck would any office worker whose job is 100% on a computer need to be in an office? I don't understand why companies want to pay for all of that electricity and real estate just to make people sit in cubicles.

Mother arrested in Texas after baby dies in hot car
This shit is so sad. I watched a video a few years ago explaining how exhaustion can lead to something like this happening, and it went into detail on how the brain tricks you into thinking that you really did drop your child off at daycare or wherever. It's terrifying and tragic.

Trump official calls Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid ‘wrong’
As a masochist, I still regularly check Facebook comments. The vast majority of Republicans are calling this "fake news" and still claim that Trump would NEVER cut their social security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, disability, etc. They're in for a wild ride. And I say that with an incredibly heavy heart, knowing how many people this will hurt.

Detroit area women get 'plantation group' texts, among wave of racist messages nationwide
Russia wants a civil war. They want people scared and angry. They want people taking to the streets armed. Don't fall into this trap - the propaganda machine is going strong, even here on Lemmy.

Anon remembers moot
I met Moot at Otakon 2007 and he was kind of a dick. But here's a fun bit of 4chan lore - When asked why he named it 4chan, he said that he wanted an English version of 2chan, and 4chan sounded cool because it was pronounced like "fortune". Thus the logo is a 4 leaf clover, for good fortune.
I've never seen this mentioned anywhere online, so I wonder if he was just making a joke.

Federal employees told to remove pronouns from email signatures by end of day
This is so stupid. I know plenty of cishet people who include their pronouns in their sig because they have a gender neutral name.

This is a mildly interesting story at best.
In 2010 I was working at a video rental store (RIP) and got access to new movies before they were available to the public. Every day I'd grab one, and every night I'd stream them online for 4channers on /tv and /r9k. There was a chat built into the stream and we had a lot of fun for months and months, hanging out watching movies and chatting. It built a pretty big following. Think Twitch before Twitch existed.
One night there were no new movies so I grabbed The Shining. We watched through it, and when that scene came on the screen I paused it to take a closer look. We joked and carried on about it in chat, and I screenshotted it and opened Photoshop and made the meme then and there. Everyone loved it. Several folks posted it on 4chan boards and it took off in a big way. We finished the movie and had a great night.
One of my favorite young adult memories.
