A UK High Court judge has dismissed a man’s attempt to sue Newport council over a long-lost hard drive containing Bitcoin, which should be the full stop on a rather farcical saga that’s been running for years. James Howells is a computer engineer who got in on Bitcoin early and mined approximately 7,500 Bitcoin from…

We’ve seen her in Super Monkey Ball, Fall Guys, and now Fortnite, and while I’m pleased that more people are getting to understand what exactly the enigma of internet icon Hatsune Miku is, I can’t help feeling like these appearances…

Nvidia’s vice president of government affairs, Ned Finkle, denounced the plans as “misguided” and an attempt to “rig” the market.
