gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-11-15 03:10:04

The Wyoming Stable Token Commission, created in 2023, announced on Tuesday the launch of the mainnet blockchain network for its new Frontier Stable Token (FRNT). The commission says FRNT will make digital payments faster and more secure for individuals, businesses, and institutions around the world. How that’s different from any other stablecoin’s promises is anyone’s guess. “F

PNY’s Overclocked RTX 5070 Ti Is Finally Selling at Retail

wired.com Brad Bourque 2025-11-15 03:17:18

If you've been hunting for a new GPU, you already know that getting one for its suggested retail price isn't guaranteed. High demand, low supply, and a constantly shifting economic space have caused the new 50 Series graphics cards to hit the market well above the expected price, at least at launch. Thankfully, the situation seems to be stabilizing a bit, as indicated by this deal on PNY's overclocked example of the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, which is available on Amazon for its MSRP of $750. Even be

How Could Frodo Be in ‘The Hunt for Gollum’?

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-16 22:00:19

This weekend, Ian McKellen had a bit of Hobbiton-disturber-of-the-peace energy about himself when he revealed at a fantasy convention in London that Frodo Baggins would appear in Andy Serkis’ upcoming Lord of the Rings prequel movie, The Hunt for Gollum. Frodo is far from the only familiar face who has been teased as making a potential appearance in the film (due out in 2027), but he is a particularly interesting one considering the chronology of events we already know from Tolkien’s books.

Show HN: I built a toy TPU that can do inference and training on the XOR problem

Nobody really understands how TPUs work…and neither do we! So we wanted to make this because we wanted to take a shot and try to guess how it works–from the perspective of complete novices! We wanted to do something very challenging to prove to ourselves that we can do anything we put our mind to. The reasoning for why we chose to build a TPU specifically is fairly simple: None of us have real professional experience in hardware design, which, in a way, made the TPU even more appealing since w

We Finally Know When Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ Will Hit Theaters and Netflix

It takes a very special Netflix movie to get a theatrical release before hitting the streamer, and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is certainly that. Netflix just announced it’ll release the monster movie in select theaters on October 17 before debuting on the platform November 7. Now, there’s no word yet on just how “select” the “select theaters” will be. Is it two screens? Is it 2,000?

I love my grill, but standing over blazing flames in 90-degree weather isn't my idea of summer fun. Cooking indoors isn't much better -- the oven turns the whole house into a sauna, and firing up the gas range with the windows closed can hurt indoor air quality. That's where the air fryer comes in. These compact powerhouses cook quickly while using far less energy than a traditional oven, making them a perfect heat wave solution.

New York Takes Zelle to Court Over Alleged Fraud on the Platform, Claims $1 Billion Lost

Arguably, the entire selling point of Zelle as a platform is that it is owned by big banks that ostensibly are invested in making sure that your money is safe.

To protect the digital foundation of essential government services, governments should invest in Open Source as public infrastructure and shift from consumption to contribution. Fifteen years ago, I laid out a theory about the future of Open Source. In The Commercialization of a Volunteer-Driven Open Source Project, I argued that if Open Source was going to thrive, people had to get paid to work on it. At the time, the idea was controversial.
