If you want to play an N64 game on your PC, you’ve almost certainly used an emulator at some point. Project64, mupen64plus, or maybe the N64 core in RetroArch. You drop in a ROM, the emulator reproduces the N64’s CPU, graphics, audio, and coprocessor behavior well enough for the game to run, and it just works. It’s been the standard approach for decades, and for most people, it’s still the obvious one. But emulators aren’t the only option anymore. A growing community of reverse engineers has been reconstructing N64 games as native applications for all kinds of platforms, most notably…

Most Obsidian-AI integrations I’ve encountered work the same way – in one direction only. You usually have to install a plugin in the Obsidian app and pull in your model that way, and it’s either in the sidebar or as an inline wizard. But I wanted the opposite: my safe in the Gemini interface. This way I could continue to use the things that make Gemini actually useful, namely the extras like guided learning, gems, and canvas. Integrating a Google AI chat panel into my Notes app wasn’t the same. Google Drive was the obvious bridge here. This is a…

When I began my journey with Obsidian, I was inspired by stunning, graphically rich setups that looked like digital masterpieces, and for a year I tried to force my brain to immerse myself in one of them. I spent more time perfecting nested folders and searching for the perfect plugin than writing a single meaningful note. But after months of friction and a total system breakdown, I realized the problem wasn’t the app; it was my obsession with organization rather than performance. Here’s the simplified folder structure that finally transformed my Obsidian from a chore into a second brain. Related…
While Apple lags behind in developing its new Siri, Google continues to explore new ways to make Gemini useful on Android. And, soon, the Google Assistant will no longer only be able to perform actions for the user on their smartphone, but will also be able to anticipate a need before the user even thinks about it. Indeed, by digging into a version of the Google application for Android, our colleagues at Android Authority found interfaces corresponding to a new Gemini feature called “Proactive Assistance”. And, as its name suggests, this new feature, which is not yet available, would be…
