    If you plan on posting news that is from other sources or news sites, please keep the following in mind: 1) Please do not post entire articles from other sources. Most news organizations prohibit copy & pasting of their entire article. It is against the "fair usage" policy set by most news outlets. They expect a paragraph posted, at most, with a link to their article's web page. 2) Make sure that you link to the original article. Not quoting a copied article is against the copyright laws of most countries. 3) When linking to external sources, keep thread and article titles the same. If you have questions, please PM any staff member. Thank you for your considera…

  10. Elden Ring players are buying millions of runes on eBay

    by NFT_QUEEN

    Elden Ring players are buying millions of runes on eBay Be warned: Gray market rune sales could earn you a ban. You probably shouldn't try to buy or sell Elden Ring runes on eBay, but in case you're wondering, that is a thing now. A quick search on eBay reveals dozens of listings offering millions of runes for anywhere from $10 to $25, with some listings advertising hundreds of millions of runes for several hundred dollars. So far, it looks like a few hundred listings have sold through. Since there's no way to directly send runes (the currency players use to level up) from one account to another in Elden Ring, these gray market deals ar…

    The metaverse stole the show at the world’s biggest mobile event — and things got weird “Metaverse” was the term on everyone’s lips at this year’s Mobile World Congress, which is the world’s biggest mobile trade show. It’s a hazy concept, but “metaverse” is broadly used to describe vast digital worlds in which users can work, play games or even party. And things seemed to get even less clear at MWC. But analysts believe it’s here to stay. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/04/the-metaverse-stole-the-show-at-mobile-world-congress.html

    Hacksawing a Motherboard Helped Me Set a 12900K Overclocking Record I set a Cinebench world record on Alder Lake by destroying a motherboard. Intel’s Alder Lake has retaken the performance crown from AMD, but in some cases, chip bowing issues have resulted in sub-par cooling. I took a hacksaw to a motherboard to help fix the issue, resulting in an extra 50 MHz of clock speed that put me over the top, winning a world record with the Core i9-12900K in Cinebench R23 at 6.95 GHz. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-12900k-world-record-with-hacksaw

  25. Money That Won Melania Trump NFT Came From Melania Trump Wallet

    by Steven P.

    The source of funds for the winning bid in Melania Trump’s first NFT auction appears to be the creators of the project themselves. A series of blockchain transactions show that the cryptocurrency used to purchase Trump’s nonfungible token came from a wallet that belongs to the entity that originally listed the project for sale. The former first lady began an auction in January for a collection of NFTs on the Solana blockchain, with art from her first official state visit in 2018. Trump listed the winner of the auction on her website, along with the bid history that shows the NFT sold for 1,800 SOL (now worth about $185,000) three weeks ago. The col…
