Oh No, ‘World of Warcraft’ Is Getting Me Elf-Pilled Again

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-11 02:56:42

As someone who has played World of Warcraft on and off for what now qualifies as a significant portion of my life over the last 21 years, I’ve come to learn that there are two things that I deeply appreciate about Blizzard’s long-running fantasy MMO. The first is the way Warcraft has sat with, and handled, the evolution of its world and characters over those two decades as an ongoing entity. Well, that’s not really the first. Because the actual first is that I just really love Warcraft‘s elves.

Raising multiple rounds of venture capital might be wrong for your startup

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-11-11 02:00:00

There’s a generally accepted script in Silicon Valley: Identify a startup idea. Sell a chunk of your company to raise venture capital. Make sales. Raise more venture capital, and make more sales. Repeat until the company goes public, or gets acquired, hopefully for billions either way. But what if you didn’t get on a fundraising treadmill after taking a first round? What if you structured your company to sprint to profitability through slower, sustainable growth, rather than the reverse — unpro

Trump's Nvidia and Intel meddling is a 'scattershot method of crony capitalism': Walter Isaacson

cnbc.com Samantha Subin 2025-11-11 06:35:31

President Donald Trump's dealings with Intel and Nvidia amount to a "scattershot method of crony capitalism," Walter Isaacson said Thursday. "That state capitalism often evolves into crony capitalism, where you have favored companies and industries that pay tribute to the leader, and that is a recipe for not only disaster, but just sort of a corrupt sense of messiness," he told CNBC's "Squawk Box."

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-11 11:30:55

Chinese regulators reportedly dissuaded local companies from purchasing NVIDIA's H20 chips, because they found certain statements by US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick "insulting." According to the Financial Times, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) teamed up to intensify their efforts to push the use of homegrown chips following Lutnick's remarks in an interview with

Don’t panic: Losing SIM cards on the Pixel 10 is actually a good thing

Google’s Pixel 10 series is finally here, and for the most part, all the upgrades we were expecting have come to fruition. The Tensor G5 chip promises big performance gains over the G4, the Pixel 10 now has a telephoto camera, and all Pixel 10 models have magnetic charging built in. While it’s mostly good news, there is one change that’s likely to make a lot of people upset: the removal of physical SIM cards.

Trippy Image From Deep Space Shows Earth and Moon From 180 Million Miles Away

The Qi2 wireless charging spec was originally announced back in early 2023. However, Android phone makers haven’t exactly been rushing to add Qi2 support to their latest devices since then.
