Peter Thiel and His Goons Are Launching Their Own Bank (Yes, It has a Tolkien-Inspired Name)

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-09-03 07:35:39

Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse in 2023 left a hole in the tech industry. For years, the bank poured money into the Bay Area’s riskier startups, allowing those companies to pursue their various “disruptive” aims. Eventually, mismanagement led that business model to collapse. Now, billionaire Palantir founder Peter Thiel and several of his pals want to fill the void left by SVB by launching their own bank dedicated to backing the industry’s riskier bets. Multiple outlets have reported that the ne

It's been 23 years since the first Battlefield game, and the video game industry is nearly unrecognizable to anyone who was immersed in it then. Many people who loved the games of that era have since become frustrated with where AAA (big budget) games have ended up. Today, publisher EA is in full production on the next Battlefield title—but sources close to the project say it has faced culture clashes, ballooning budgets, and major disruptions that have left many team members fearful that parts

But 2025 has marked a sea change for the skies: the rollout of fast, and free, connectivity on most of the world’s major airlines. Satellite technology has enabled leaps in speed and bandwidth. SpaceX’s Starlink network of low Earth orbit satellites, for example, can deliver a connection capable of downloading more than 200 megabits per second—twice as fast as most basic home internet plans

Other versions of the phone have a slightly smaller 5,150mAh battery. We’re guessing that this discrepancy is related to EU regulations regarding the transport of batteries.
