    The Tron Lightcycle ride is coming to Disney World on April 4th.

    The original ride opened at Shanghai Disneyland in 2016, and it’s hitting the US in just a few more months. It’s based on Tron: Legacy, the problematic sequel with the killer Daft Punk soundtrack. I enjoyed the movie, but Disney Park prices are so high these days... will you go? Here are more videos of the ride.

    Sapphire Rapids is finally here.

    Intel’s long-awaited server chips are shipping today after two years of delays. Three months ago, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger told us how shipping Sapphire Rapids was necessary to rebuild Intel’s confidence — and customers’ confidence in Intel. The company told The New York Times a bit more about the delays, though it wouldn’t describe the final fatal flaw that pushed it from 2022 to 2023.

    Elon Musk still annoyed about dad’s old emerald mine.

    It’s inconvenient for his origin story! So he tried to suggest the emerald mine was “fake” — only to see his tweet revealed as a blatant lie on Twitter.

    FWIW, Snopes was unable to find proof that emeralds paid for Musk’s rise to fame, but it also notes some stories about the mine have been...disappearing. Here’s one dad money quote that’s still on the web: “We had so much money at times we couldn’t even close our safe.”

    Transferring games between PCs (and Steam Decks) is about to get easier.

    Why re-download a game on Steam Deck if you’ve already got it installed on another PC? Valve has been asking itself that question, too! SteamDB noticed it’s working on a feature where you can transfer games directly over LAN, saving time and/or your data cap.

    Steam’s existing vestigial backup feature didn’t work well with Deck; can’t wait to do this instead.

    That shockingly useful Lenovo dual-screen laptop? Thank Intel too.

    Intel has a history of this sort of thing. The Razer Blade began as a prototype in Intel’s labs. So did Lenovo’s Yoga Book C930.

    “Due to neverending impersonating, complaints, demands, and now death threats, I’m done.”

    The lone developer of AetherSX2, reputed to be the best way to play PS2 games on a smartphone, is ceasing development due to death threats. “Thanks to everyone who wasn’t a d*ck for the last year,” he writes.This sucks.
