Steam's censorship issues have broken PayPal support in some regions

If you've been unable to pay with PayPal on Steam, Valve says the limitation has to do with issues one of PayPal's banking partners has with content on the platform, according to Rock Paper Shotgun. Users have noticed PayPal was disabled in some regions as far back as July, and the issue seems like it might be out of both Valve and PayPal's hands.

Big Tech's A.I. Data Centers Are Driving Up Electricity Bills for Everyone

But even with their expressed good will, getting the companies to make consumers whole will not be easy because determining how much large users like data centers should pay is not straightforward. The business of keeping America’s lights on is mostly about two things: supplying reliable electricity and figuring out what to charge to deliver it. In recent years, big tech companies have inserted themselves into debates over both. They lobby lawmakers and regulators, and they are pitching their o

Kodak Says Reports of Its Imminent Demise Are Greatly Exaggerated

Fears have swirled that Kodak, one of the last large film companies in the world, may soon be shutting its doors. Those fears were spurred by a regulatory filing released Monday, in which the company spoke of its debt load and a lack of liquidity to pay it off. However, the company has since emerged to deny that it will be shutting down anytime soon. “Media reports that Kodak is ceasing operations, going out of business, or filing for bankruptcy are inaccurate and reflect a fundamental misunder

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.
