Wikipedia will no longer accept donations in cryptocurrencies
The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, has issued a statement stating that it will stop accepting donations in cryptocurrencies.
The Wikimedia Foundation has been accepting donations in cryptocurrencies since 2014, including Bittroin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Ripple (XRP), Litecoin, Dogecoin, DAI, and USDC. However, such donations represented a small portion of the non-profit’s income—only $130,000 worth of cryptocurrency donations were received in the most recent fiscal year, accounting for 0.08% of total income.
The Wikimedia Foundation has decided to stop directly accepting cryptocurrencies as a means of donation. We started direct cryptocurrency adoption in 2014 based on requests from our volunteers and donor communities. We’re making this decision based on recent feedback from those same communities. In particular, we will close our Bitpay account, which will make it impossible for us to directly accept cryptocurrency as a donation method.
We will continue to monitor this issue and would appreciate feedback and attention to this evolving issue from the people of the Wikimedia movement. We will remain flexible and responsive to the needs of volunteers and donors.
The decision was made during a recent vote, where 29% of the participants voted for the cryptocurrency.

But Intel only managed to release competitors for the Threadripper 5000. Asus confirms that the Ryzen Threadripper 7000 will be released in the second half of the year
AMD is indeed going to launch Ryzen Threadripper 7000 processors in the second half of this year. Previously, these were just rumors and leaks, and now this was announced by an Asus representative.
Interestingly, he mentioned this in a video demonstrating the work of the Intel Sapphire Rapids WS platform, the processors of which are currently competing with the Threadripper 5000, but soon they will have to compete with the Threadripper 7000.
Threadripper 7000 will switch to a new socket and a new Zen 4 architecture. This will bring them support for DDR5 memory, probably PCIe 5.0 interface. In addition, the top-end Threadripper 7000s are expected to be 96-core, just like their sister Epyc Genoa.

Huawei has unveiled the affordable Enjoy 60 phone, which features a 6,000mAh battery (it supports 22.5W charging). With the old and undemanding platform Kirin 710A, the autonomy of this device is very good: the creators say that you can charge your smartphone only twice a week.

The front camera is 8-megapixel, the main one is with sensors with a resolution of 48 and 2 megapixels (but the second sensor is not directly involved in photography, it is used only to analyze the depth of the scene).
The thickness of the case was 8.98 mm, weight – 199 grams. There is a side fingerprint scanner, and HarmonyOS 3.0 acted as a software platform.
The cost of the basic version of new items with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory is $190. The variant with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash memory is priced at $220. Sales in China will start on March 24.
