Tumbling oil prices in June are likely to provide some welcome good news for inflation, though it likely won’t move the needle much for Federal Reserve policymakers. Economists widely expect that the consumer price index , a broad measure of the costs for goods and services across the U.S. economy, will show a decline of 0.2% for the month, according to the Dow Jones consensus.

Last month, we passed along Modern Vintage Gamer’s (MVG) confident assertion that Doom is functionally impossible to run on the Neo Geo, owing to the console’s sprite-based display hardware and lack of a frame buffer. We all should have known better than to tell a dedicated group of hackers that something is “impossible,” though, as two recent projects have made great progress toward functional Doom ports on stock Neo Geo hardware. Both of these projects have significant graphical compromises that limit how viable they would have been for a marketable, ’90s-era console port, as MVG lays out in a new…

The state relies on incentives to encourage homeowners to make energy efficiency upgrades in their homes. Rebates for switching to electric heat pumps, funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, were hugely popular with…
