Elon Musk and McDonald’s accidentally created a new cryptocurrency Grimacecoin, the rate of which skyrocketed
A comic post on the official Twitter page of the McDonald’s fast food restaurant chain led to the emergence of a new cryptocurrency. At the same time, its rate very quickly increased by more than 2800 times.
It all started with the fact that the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, wrote the following a couple of days ago: “I will eat Happy Meal on camera if McDonald’s starts accepting Dogecoin.” In response to this, McDonald’s stated the following: “Only if Tesla starts accepting Grimacecoin.”
After that, several Grimacecoin cryptocurrencies appeared on the Binance Smart Chain network at once. The rate of one of them soared from $0.0007 to $2 within a few hours, after which it dropped to $0.60. The value of another coin, Grimacecoin, created on the Ethereum network, rose by 56,000% to $0.004074. More than 1,200 people have bought the coin, and its market capitalization has reached $6 million.
The Grimace character from the McDonald’s universe has appeared in fast food marketing campaigns since the 70s. This character was conceived as an anti-hero who steals milkshakes from children. But back in 2012, McDonald’s creative director Roy Bergold, in an interview with QSR, called the idea a failure and the character was too scary for kids.

The cheapest Samsung smartphone with 5G will come to Europe even cheaper than in the US. Galaxy A13 5G prices revealed

The Samsung Galaxy A13 5G smartphone, which has been on sale in the US for about six months, will soon enter the European market. And it looks like it will be even cheaper.
According to recent data, the basic version of the Galaxy A13 5G in Europe will cost 180 euros. For comparison, in the US, they ask for $ 250 for a smartphone. True, we are talking about different modifications. In the US, only the version with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of flash memory is sold. And in Europe, this will cost 210 euros.
But there will also be a version with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of flash memory, for which they will just ask for only 180 euros. There will also be a top-end with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory for 240 euros.
Recall that the Galaxy A13 5G is equipped with a 6.5-inch 90-Hz HD + screen, SoC Dimensity 700 and a 5000 mAh battery.

The screen of Xiaomi Mi Band 7 turned out to be larger than expected, but the battery capacity is less. Fitness bracelet in a retail box lit up in live photos

Not a day goes by without leaks about the latest Xiaomi Mi Band 7 fitness bracelet. This time, the device was photographed in a retail box, on the back of which is a list of main features. Below is the capacity of the battery.
Bold expectations that the Mi Band 7 will receive a 250 mAh battery have been dashed against the harsh reality – the fitness bracelet uses a 180 mAh battery. At least in the version with NFC, but it is unlikely that the battery capacity of the regular Mi Band 7 will be larger. However, even 180 mAh is noticeably more than 125 mAh in Mi Band 6. At the same time, we recall that the AMOLED screen size was 1.62 inches, while rumors attributed to the device a display with a diagonal of 1.56 inches. Xiaomi calls the screen of the Mi Band 7 a “Retina level display”.
What else do the inscriptions on the fitness bracelet box say? For example, the presence of a pulse oximeter and a proprietary voice assistant, support for more than 100 training modes, a sleep monitoring system and water protection (5ATM). The cost of the version with NFC is already known – $ 40. The official premiere of Mi Band 7 will take place on May 24.

Even Windows 11 has already been updated to Android 12.1. Microsoft has updated the subsystem Windows Subsystem for Android

Microsoft continues to develop the idea of combining Windows and Android. Recently, the company announced the release of an update to the Windows Subsystem for Android subsystem for its current OS.
One of the main innovations is the transition to Android 12.1 (12L). The current public version is based on Android 11. Initially, the update is only available through the Dev Channel. When it will become available to everyone is still unclear.
Microsoft notes that updating to Android 12.1 may result in some apps not running. She does not specify which ones, but it probably refers to some old programs.
The update also strengthens the integration of Android into Windows. For example, pop-up messages are first displayed as Windows notifications. The taskbar now shows if an Android app is accessing your microphone or location.
The company also states that Android apps should work better after waking the computer from standby. Instead of restarting, they should just resume where they left off.
