    German Power Company Is Selling Monthly Flat-Rate Plans Aimed at Gamers and Power-Hungry PCs

    Hmm.. 5,000 kwh / year really isn't all that much... I imagine most of us here are blowing well past that. I use about 1,000/month and I don't have 24 hour mining or DC projects or multi-hour gaming, or even air conditioning running. Some states do allow you to buy wholesale power directly -...

    Sony Wants to Make It Easier for You to Pay by Adding Credit Card Processing to Its Controllers

    Well, it's already been possible on the phone for years now. Why not your game controller too? Guy at work recently got hit for $300 on Roblox because his 5 year old held his phone up to his face while he was sleeping on the couch to unlock some payment there.
