LG facing a lawsuit in Portugal for alleged “domestic espionage” through their TVs (article in Portuguese) (executivedigest.sapo.pt)
 

Article being fully in text and not having paywall (at least on my side?), it can be easily translated by plugins or in-built browser tools though. Also, news is two weeks old already, but since from what I've read and heard, Portugal can be quite slow for bureaucratic matters, I would expect the news to be relatively fresh still, and any updates to take a while to come. Still, hopefully the outcomes are positive. =)

[NS2] About the console’s battery… (thebrainbin.org)
 

[NS2] About the console's battery...

Not directly related to #consolemods, but since the #NS2 is likely seeing far more action going forward, thought it was worth a post:

The console is a battery drain.

If you have a Switch 2 (or plan to), and also have either a charging hub you use more or less frequently, or a device that is also used more or less frequently and that has an unused USB/OTG port, it may be wise to keep the console plugged to it when you're not carrying it around.

Also worth noting the dock doesn't get energized by a weak ("standard") USB/OTG energy output, like that of a notebook or Raspberry Pi. (I tried "<.<)

At the very least it must be a Switch 1 / Switch Lite's charger to feed the dock, or keep the NS2 being charged directly on the USB port. At least with a second OTG port on top, you can keep the console docked while charging from it though.

Hopefully, however, now that the console has a homebrew enabler, someone figures out a way to optimize its battery consumption.

Still, hope this post helps someone. =)

Mary Skelter 2 & Finale got a retranslation and restoration patch by a fan for PC & Switch (gbatemp.net)
 

OP goes in quite a lot of detail as to what changes, but do note it goes a bit into spoiler territory, specially since the stories exist in a continuum.

It does make me curious though, how the changes do pile up, both being 70+ hours-long games with a ton of story. Welp, guess I'll have to finish these games a 5th, 6th and 7th time to be sure. Such a tragedy. /s Also saw no mentions of it, but Mary Skelter 2 has as an unlockable the first game, Mary Skelter Nightmares, so I'm also curious if the changes affect it too.

The Nintendo GameCube Now Has Its Own Homebrew App Store (handheldhideout.neocities.org)
 

Crossposted from https://lemmy.world/post/54000781

Today's mini article is about Dolphin Depot, a new project from developer Webhdx that essentially gives the original Nintendo GameCube its own homebrew app store. Publicly announced a little earlier this week, Dolphin Depot allows everyone to browse, download and install homebrew applications directly on their GameCube, rather than having to track everything down individually and transfer files from a pc. There's also a website where you can explore the catalogue, which includes emulators, utilities and homebrew games. You still need a homebrew-capable GameCube and a network connection, of course, but I think it's a fun addition to the console's homebrew scene. Feels and looks like a true hack! I like how it makes older projects easier to discover, like for people who are only just getting into GameCube homebrew. It's just ...nice seeing these sorts of modern things arrive on hardware that's now twenty-five years old :) Yet again, this is one of those 'niche-within-a-niche' projects I find and write about!
