“A huge victory”, after the court decision, the XRP rate soared by 73%, pulling Bitcoin and Ethereum with it
The XRP cryptocurrency, which was created by Ripple, rose by 73% on Wednesday. The market capitalization of XRP rose to around $43.9 billion and the 24-hour trading volume exceeded $9.1 billion.
Earlier, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase announced the re-placement of XRP on its platform. The largest US exchange removed XRP from the list of tokens in January 2021 due to a lawsuit by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Ripple. On the same day, another major exchange, Kraken, also announced the return of XRP trading for its US customers.
The optimistic market reaction followed the verdict on the lawsuit between Ripple Labs and the SEC. Although Judge Analisa Torres recognized the institutional sale of Ripple as securities, she did not classify all other sales in the same way. Stuart Alderoti, Ripple’s chief legal officer, called the decision a “huge win”, stressing that XRP is not a security, nor are sales on exchanges.
Alderoti praised the teams that have fought the SEC for years, arguing that the decision “reaffirms a lot of what this industry is fighting for.” He mentioned the alleged excess of the SEC’s powers in its jurisdiction over cryptocurrencies, suggesting that this verdict could set the stage for a more rational conversation about the regulation of cryptocurrencies in the country.
Following XRP, Bitcoin soared from $30,300 to $31,500, while Ethereum easily passed the $2,000 mark. Quite possibly, this is the beginning of the long-awaited rally.

Current update of the OpenAI chatbot: ChatGPT can now “Google” in real time

The American company OpenAI has announced the release of a useful update to its generative artificial intelligence system, ChatGPT. According to the official blog, ChatGPT can search the web for the latest information, suggesting answers from “relevant and authoritative” sources.
The search is performed in the Microsoft Bing search engine. After receiving a response from the network, the user can click on the link and check the information provided. The feature, called Browse with Bing, is currently only open to those with Plus and Enterprise subscriptions, but the company says it will soon make it available to “all users.”
As the developers note, OpenAI has lifted the temporary restriction on data – previously, ChatGPT users had access to the amount of information until September 2021. Now the ChatGPT search engine can freely search for the latest information.
As a reminder, OpenAI added the ability to browse the internet to its iOS app ChatGPT at the end of June 2023, but quickly removed it. The reason turned out to be that users quickly found a loophole – the chatbot could be “persuaded” to provide paid content by entering the full URL.

GeForce RTX 4090 is ready for Counter-Strike 2. The video card produces 543 FPS in the game

Almost immediately after the release of Counter-Strike 2, Nvidia explained what to expect in the game when using 3D cards from the GeForce RTX 40 line.
With Full HD resolution and maximum graphics settings, the flagship of the line – GeForce RTX 4090 – produces 543 FPS. Nvidia assured that the GeForce RTX 4090 in Counter-Strike 2 is 4.5 times faster than the GeForce GTX 1080 and 2.9 times faster than the GeForce RTX 2080.
At the other end is the GeForce RTX 4060, but even it provides more than 200 FPS under the same conditions. The performance gap between the GeForce RTX 4060 and GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is quite small, unlike other models in the line.

The four years of waiting were worth it. Raspberry Pi 5 introduced, it received a south bridge for the first time

Four years have passed since the release of Raspberry Pi 4, and now Raspberry Pi 5 has been released. The new generation of single-board computer has improved in almost everything, but the price has become slightly higher: the cost of the version with 4 GB of RAM is 60 dollars, the version with 8 GB of RAM is 80 dollars.
The Raspberry Pi 5 hardware platform is based on the Broadcom BCM2712 SoC with four Arm Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz. The creators talk about an increase in computing power by 2-3 times, compared to the Raspberry Pi 4. The GPU of the new computer is VideoCore VII with a frequency of 800 MHz and support for OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2. The creators note a “significant increase in GPU performance” compared to its predecessor.
For the first time, the RP1 south bridge, which is responsible for connecting peripherals, appeared in the Raspberry Pi Foundation device. According to the developers, it “provides a qualitative improvement in the performance and functionality of peripheral devices.”
Raspberry Pi 5 received two MIPI transceivers with a bandwidth of 1.5 Gbps, which allows you to connect two cameras or two displays. There is also one PCI Express 2.0 line, however, to realize its speed potential you cannot do without connecting an M.2 HAT adapter.
The Raspberry Pi 5 receives power via the USB-C port. There are integrated Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11ac adapters, an SD card slot, two HDMI ports (4K 60 fps displays are supported), two USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, RJ-45.
