TRANSCRIPT ## Headlines GRANT BRICKMAN: While you were asleep: researchers found bugs in five AI developer tools, with OpenAI and Microsoft flaws still unpatched. GRETA FOOTNOTE: Marvell is reportedly in advanced talks to buy Lumentum, likely paying in shares. The deal isn't final and could fall through. GRANT BRICKMAN: And Amazon's Andy Jassy says Prime Video is profitable, with a revenue run rate in the tens of billions of dollars. ## Zelda ohne Emulator: Tears of the Kingdom erhält nativen PC-Port (ComputerBase) https://www.computerbase.de/news/gaming/zelda-ohne-emulator-tears-of-the-kingdom-erhaelt-nativen-pc-port.100081/ GRANT BRICKMAN: Breaking: a fan project says Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can run natively on Windows, with graphics glitches. GRANT BRICKMAN: Breaking news, and I mean breaking: a fan project says Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom now runs on Windows without an emulator. Gary is live. GRETA FOOTNOTE: It's experimental, and for now it comes with graphics errors. The source code was released by NotRexed, as SkyboundTOTK. GARY: Live from the block world, nightfall in sight. Creeper behind me, ignoring it. Rating so far: a fan port with a very hard difficulty setting. GARY: No finished Windows download yet. You compile it yourself: 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, Python, Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools and Clang. GARY: You also need at least 45 GB free, and the first compile can take a long time. That's a grind. Two out of five pickaxes for patience. GARY: Here's file footage of a build progress bar, crawling. The port turns the Switch's ARM64 code into C ahead of time, then compiles it for Windows. GARY: Legal bit: you supply ExeFS and RomFS files from a legally bought, unmodified version 1.0.0. The source has no Nintendo game data, keys or firmware. GRANT BRICKMAN: So Zelda moves into the computer, like a goldfish into a bigger bowl. Marvellous. GRETA FOOTNOTE: Nothing moves, Grant. The code is converted ahead of time, and you still bring your own game files. ## You can generate and edit Google Docs files directly in Gemini chats now (The Verge) https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/1022519/google-gemini-file-editing-documents-pdfs GRETA FOOTNOTE: Gemini now lets you edit your generated files without leaving the chat, and the panel has notes. GRANT BRICKMAN: For viewers just joining: we first told you about Gemini's file editing Thursday 22:27. Today, the panel. Roxy first. ROXY: Three and a half reels. Generate a file, tweak it, never leave the chat. No twist, but the pacing is lovely. PRUDENCE NUANCE: Half a reel off, perhaps: only PDFs work on mobile too. The rest waits for the web, for now. GRANT BRICKMAN: Roxy, I can highlight a table and ask for a graph. Is that a sequel or a reboot? ROXY: A sequel. You could already edit through the Gemini bar in Google Docs. This one moves into the chat, in full-screen widescreen. PRUDENCE NUANCE: Anthropic added something similar to Claude chats earlier this year. So who's the remake? ROXY: Double bill, darling. Same genre, different studio. I'd watch both and cry at the trailer. PRUDENCE NUANCE: Available to all Gemini users today. Whether anyone asked for it is a separate ticket. GRANT BRICKMAN: Where does the file live, in the chat? In the cloud? Looks clear outside. Vote on your screens, everyone. ## The Spin Room (PXL) GRANT BRICKMAN: One space station, two headlines, and one anchor who stands by the wrong one. GRETA FOOTNOTE: The Spin Room. One space station, two outlets, two framings. NASA writes: "Halloween Aboard the International Space Station". GRETA FOOTNOTE: Space.com leads with: "Astronauts deploy solar array on 100th US spacewalk by International Space Station crew members". GRANT BRICKMAN: Obviously the same event. The astronauts wore ghoul costumes on the spacewalk. Spooky, and solar. GRETA FOOTNOTE: Not quite. NASA's piece is about crews marking Halloween in costumes, often made from materials aboard. GRETA FOOTNOTE: Space.com reports a seven-hour spacewalk on Oct. 29. Anil Menon and Joshua Kutryk deployed a new solar array. GRANT BRICKMAN: I stand by it. A costume, a solar panel, same thing. Both are dressing up for work. GRETA FOOTNOTE: NASA leads with the holiday and the fun. Space.com leads with the work and the milestone. Spin score: 77 out of 100. GRANT BRICKMAN: Seventy-seven. Excellent. Low is the goal, like golf. GRETA FOOTNOTE: Higher means more differently worded, Grant. Both outlets are describing something real. ## [AD · fictional product] Ferrule GRETA FOOTNOTE: Good morning. Do you know which cable is which? Nobody does. Not even the drawer. GRETA FOOTNOTE: A small label on each charger can save you a long, tangled Monday. GRETA FOOTNOTE: Tape, pen, a minute of your time. Label the cable before the cable labels you. Now you know. ## Weather STORMY BYTES: Good morning, here's the Hype Forecast: a warm front of Zelda excitement is moving in over the PC. STORMY BYTES: Expect scattered graphics glitches and a long, foggy compile, with a small chance of creepers. STORMY BYTES: Elsewhere, a mild cloud of Gemini document chatter. Bring a coffee. AI-written satire. The text of the news items comes from the linked articles.
