Does this mean the next President can rename Florida to Trump-Epsteinland, and Texas to KidKillerKopsia?

If separate aren't a deal breaker, I've been using Nostalgia emulators for a while. They work great with my 8bitdo controllers. NES, GBA, GG and GB/C versions are available. No SNES or Genesis, unfortunately.

Not FOSS and not free for the Pro versions, but free versions are available to see if they work for you.

Not sure about mobile, but on the desktop version of Google Maps, clicking that pin gives a source link:

The pin seems to be in the wrong place (by a few miles), but the contract is real.

In a padlocked bedroom in the basement, officers found a lifelike silicone doll on a bed beneath a blanket, with a painting of a naked female resembling the victim hanging above it.

RIP to the lab tech tasked with getting DNA off that doll.

Larson claimed his communication was civil and argued that licensing board complaints were suggested by his therapist to get the victim to respond.

DOUBT.

It's not very detailed in the video, but gives a good idea on how to get it done.

This looks like more of a joke making fun of people who keep political bumper stickers on their car long after they're relevant than someone who legitimately supported Nixon and Goldwater, but also Gore and Clinton.

They aren't going to let one person buy a disc, then share that disc among all their friends and they all get a copy.

Like I said, I'm reading between the lines a bit, but here's another source from before the official announcement:
https://www.purexbox.com/news/2026/07/report-xbox-disc-to-digital-feature-will-allow-you-to-digitise-your-physical-collection

The only potential issue is with certain Xbox One discs - Microsoft has apparently been telling testers of the disc-to-digital program that "it all depends on how and when the disc was manufactured"

the discs will still work even after you've digitised them, and the digital entitlement won't disappear unless you loan the disc to a friend or sell it on permanently.

Maybe "serial number" isn't exactly the right word for what's happening, but they apparently have some way of fingerprinting the disc itself so they know when it is being used by someone else.

It's pretty clear that it means the next Xbox will be digital only, but MS wants to get ahead of the Sony backlash by letting people take their entire(*) library with them to the next gen.

It's a dark future dressed up as short-term convenience.

* "supported disc(s)" only.

Reading between the lines on some of the rumors and announcements: it sounds like each disc already has a unique serial number associated with it that gets added to your account. If someone else uses the same disc and "claims" it, the digital license moves to that account.

"Don't make a wrong move," the officer said as he pinned the struggling subject to the ground. "Period."

The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject's thin wrists.

"Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts," the subject exclaimed.

The officer pressed his weight into the subject's small body while school staff watched it all unfold. The person he was restraining was 7 years old.
