Between 2026-05-23 and 2026-05-30 we selected 14 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. There’s a lot of good stuff in the below list, so it was hard to choose what to highlight, but I decided to go for XF Extreme Formula which has retro F-zero vibes, and Mina the Hollower, the new pixel-perfect 2D game from the developers of Shovel Knight.

Domain expertise is a funny thing. Before developing some expertise in a domain, we often judge tools from that domain based on their ease-of-use. Think of the controls of a consumer road car compared to a Formula One race car. The consumer car is “better” because it’s intuitive to use, teenagers get the hang of it in a few weeks.

The clearcpuid= kernel parameter can be used to disable specific CPUID features for the kernel by specifying the targeted bit numbers of the feature(s) to disable or their flags from the /proc/cpuinfo output. The clearcpuid parameter, for example, has been useful for carrying out AVX-512 comparison benchmarks for apps that check for the presence of the AVX-512 extensions via /proc/cpuinfo.

Can you believe it’s Sunday already? It’s still nice and sunny but the weather forecast (and a look outside) tells me that this is going to be over soon. There was a lot of family this week – it would have been my grandmother’s 100th birthday, so my aunts and a whole bunch of cousins […]

This is a song about no. This is a song about no, no, no. This is a song about no. The song goes... No no no no no no no no no. The song goes... No no no no no no no no no. The song goes...

Insane that California Democrats just passed a law to protect criminals committing fraud on party lines.
