Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and “several artificial intelligence companies” signed a pledge at the White House yesterday, dubbed the “Ratepayer Protection Pledge,” to pay for the cost of powering their data centres, the Guardian reports.

In PoE, 500 hours is rookie numbers: The infamous sprawl of its passive skill tree and labyrinthine gear crafting mechanics still border on the unfathomable to me. For players who aren’t instinctively horrified by…
Mchose has introduced me to the smaller-brand mouse ‘clone’ market, and it’s changed how I look at gaming mice pretty significantly.
