gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-12-06 10:48:32

A South Korean man was arrested in Bangkok, Thailand on Saturday, accused of laundering over $50 million worth of cryptocurrency into physical gold bars in the span of just three months. The man, identified by Thai authorities only as “Han,” was allegedly a key figure in a call-center fraud network that lured victims in with promises of 30-50% returns on investment. Authorities say the victims were paid off initially in small amounts to build trust before they started facing withdrawal limits l

Ether notches first new record since 2021 after Powell speech teasing rate cuts

cnbc.com Tanaya Macheel 2025-12-06 16:02:35

The second-largest cryptocurrency surged 15% late Friday, rising as high as $4,885.00 and surpassing its November 2021 record of $4,866.01.

Watch Stephen King and Takashi Miike Celebrate the Glorious Gore of ‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-10 16:45:42

“Every frame has something unnerving in it,” Patton Oswalt says in the trailer for Chain Reactions—a new documentary about the enduring influence and impact of 1974’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Tobe Hooper’s grisly classic has often been imitated and has spawned some regrettable sequels and remakes, but the original remains a uniquely terrifying product of a very specific time and place, not just in pop culture, but also in the realms of independent cinema.

Incan numerical recordkeeping system may have been widely used

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-24 00:10:09

Inca bureaucrats recorded all the goings-on in their bustling empire using knotted cords called khipu, where the position and order of the knots represented numbers. They relied on the khipu system to track people, taxes, produce, livestock, and products like woven cloth and beer. Because khipu were so vital to the Inca government, and because the khipu itself is such a sophisticated way of recording numbers, colonial writers decided that these tools must be the exclusive knowledge of a very sp

The Inca were a pre-Columbian civilization whose empire sprawled along South America’s Pacific Coast from the 15th to the 16th century CE. Like other Andean peoples, they used khipus (also known as quipus), an intricate cord and knot system used to record information. According to Spanish colonial-era sources, only male Inca elites could make khipus. A new study, however, challenges this widespread notion.

What's Your Curl Type? (2025)

Like, for instance, how to brush them.

As a result, I look like a poodle in nearly every one of my elementary school photos. According to Syed, brushing and combing curly hair is OK—but only when the hair is wet. Unsurprisingly, pin-straight Type 1 hair is the easiest to comb or brush. However, Type 4 hair is not four
