I foresee a future in which the "EC card" (please let's call it Girocard, because that's it's name) ceases to exist in a few years. Banks are already in the process of issuing Visa or MasterCard debit cards to custo

I have built two six-digit Nixie clocks with Z5660M tubes, which I bought as "new old stock" - likely unused - for about 50€ per piece over 10 years ago. Both of these clocks have been running non-stop since then, and they are st

This is exactly on point. Unity is behind Epic in many respects relevant to both areas of business - classic game development and the nascent gaming-tech-used-for-movie-VFX business - and this acquisition is an attempt at fixing this defici

I'm from Europe as well, and I've seen them prominently featured last year in the documentary series "Long Way Up" on Apple TV+. Nice series btw, if you like beautiful scenery.

It doesn't matter whether retail traders buy trillions worth of this new ETF or not. The ETF is a futures ETF. It is not backed by any Bitcoin. It's a pure speculation on the future price of BTC. Hence the only thing this ETF does

Tether printer is rather silent right now. So is USDCoin. Both hit a plateau a week ago. That's one thing concerning me with this ATH. Large upswings usually coincided with USDT/USDC issuance for the last years, which makes sense,

The problem with the lightning connector is that the springs are inside the device, while the springs are located in the cable in case of USB-C. Every connector pair has a side on which there are just flat pads, and one which uses some spri

This just proves that the crypto markets' idea of "utility" is not "being useful as digital currency", but "be useful as a get-rich-quick scheme". Other coins serve the latter much better than Monero, whil

If you want some new crypto to succeed, it must have at least one blatant lie on the first page of its white paper. Otherwise no "investor" will buy the stuff.

If you were introduced to Discord in a non-gaming-related context, it is very common to be unfamiliar with the tendency of gamers to share what game they are currently playing. There is no such habit in other, more "serious" conte
