What are you so afraid of, McDonald’s? McDonald’s have been contacted for comment, but at the time of publishing this, I have not heard back from them just yet. The world was a different place eleven years ago. There was no pandemic, TikTok didn’t exist, and the iPhone was barely out of nappies. More importantly, McDonald’s served a dessert that has seemingly been lost in time: the Warm Cookie Sundae.
When it comes to cryptocurrency, despite its world-changing power to overthrow the traditional banking system and kill fiat currency (according to some crypto proponents), there are two gatekeepers who determine whether it goes up or down: China and Elon Musk. Today, it was China’s turn to line up Bitcoin and the other top ten cryptocurrencies in a firing squad and open fire.

The price at the time of writing this is down almost 11% in 24 hours.
I ditched harmful non-natural deodorants several months ago. Growing concerned with what they put into those store-bought deodorants like aluminium and other unnatural things that are not good for your body and take a few weeks of detoxing before you rid your body of them. I am also at odds with myself. I am the world’s biggest sceptic when it comes to most things. The effectiveness of natural deodorants is one of those things.
No matter how big you are, how many resources your company has, Microsoft has once again shown that you’re never too big to fail. The latest Windows 10 KB5001330 update (which many get automatically) has broken gaming. While gamers will be mostly affected, if you work with video or stream, you’ll notice the framerate drops and stuttering. The latest update actually makes streaming games through Streamlabs OBS a painful exercise.
A couple of weeks ago after a few delays, CD Projekt Red released the highly anticipated 1.2 patch which began to address some of the games biggest issues, some of which meant the game was unplayable (often fixed by a hard restart), as well as more core game level bugs. And now, CD Projekt Red has just released a 1.21 hotfix which continues fixing some of the issues in Cyberpunk 2077. The changelog is quite long for what is just meant to be a hotfix (aka fixing highly targeted breaking bugs).
The music industry in the last couple of decades has undergone serious change. Some might say for the better, and others might say for the worse. The music industry is not the illustrious money printing machine it was in the 90’s, thanks in part to the internet. The truth is, labels and bands were slow to adapt to the change the Internet brought. Metallica famously sued Napster in the early 2000s. While they won their case, ultimately, they changed nothing.
I recently bought a wireless Eufycam 2 setup for our house for piece of mind for my family and our property. The setup process was a breeze, mounting the cameras and getting things up and running also equally as easy. Everything seemed to be going well, until I noticed quite an annoying bug. The Eufycam 2 software seems to overexpose the first couple of seconds before correcting itself. The issue results in the first second and a half being lost of the trigger event.
The saving of 2021 is upon us. Riley Breckenridge (the drummer of Thrice) posted a shot of a studio setup with some amps, a drum kit and a few other bits and pieces. The drum kit is also mic’d up. [ View this post on Instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/p/CLnsbs0HhGE/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) A post shared by Riley Breckenridge (@rileybreck) While Riley may be working on non-Thrice related music, we know Thrice have been writing an album for over a year now (since late 2019 and throughout 2020). It seems plausible Riley is laying down some drums; Dustin shared some demo stuff a little while ago.
I have been working on a WordPress site that parses remote news API’s and requires not only parsing the news format JSON but getting any associated media and downloading them. Herein lies the problem: the download_url function that WordPress provides does not support passing in headers. If you are working with a remote API that requires passing an authorization header, then this function won’t work. Unbbeknownst to some, the underlying download_url function uses WordPress request methods to make the request for the file. Taking the original function from the codebase and making some simple tweaks, we end up with something like this.
With the price of Bitcoin hitting a new all-time high and altcoins following suit, there has been renewed interest in cryptocurrency, specifically, mining cryptocurrencies. This has also been helped by Nvidia’s new power RTX 30xx series cards (not that anyone can find a 3080 anywhere). There are numerous ways in which you can mine cryptocurrency. You have the various command line mining software that requires configuration and, sometimes, even compiling. You also have Cudo Miner, which will switch between coins to mine based on the most profitable, which is a little less configuration.
