But as any coin collector knows, some pennies are worth more than others. For example, a single mint-condition 1909 Lincoln wheat penny is currently valued at around $21, while an even rarer “Indian Head” penny from 1859 can sell for as much as $986. While it’s unclear how much the very last pennies ever produced are worth, purchasing them at an upcoming auction will undoubtedly cost much more than pocket change. After 232…
Other factors stemmed from social changes, the judge suggested, describing the fourth factor as a trend where Meta app users started feeling “increasingly bored by their friends’ posts.” “Longtime users’ friend lists” start fresh, but over time, they “become an often-outdated archive of people they once knew: a casual friend from college, a long-ago friend from summer camp, some guy they met at a party once,” Boasberg wrote. “Posts from friends have therefore grown less interesting.” Then came TikTok, the fifth factor, Boasberg said, which forced Meta to “evolve” Facebook and Instagram by adding Reels.

Cloudflare wrongly suspected that the widespread outage that took numerous websites offline on November 18 was caused by a DDoS attack, the company’s CEO has admitted. In his blog post that breaks down what happened, however, Matthew Prince explained that after realizing their mistake, his team was able to fix the issue. “The issue was not caused, directly or indirectly, by a cyber attack or malicious activity of any kind,” he wrote.

That pricing undercuts budget gaming controllers but offers functionality that fundamentally shifts how you work and play on the go. The monitor itself weighs just 1.43 pounds with a built-in…

Unsurprising This 9171 subtype “continues, unfortunately uninterrupted, across multiple jurisdictions,” David Sugerman, who leads the CDC measles response, said on the call. According to the Times, local health officials are pessimistic that they’ll be able to stamp out the virus’ spread, saying that vaccination efforts have had “limited” impact. As Ars reported previously, vaccination rates are dangerously low in two measles hotspots: northwestern Mohave County, Arizona, and the southwest health district of Utah. Vaccination rates among kindergartners in the 2024–2025 school year were 78.4 percent and 80.7 percent, respectively. That’s well below the 95 percent target needed to keep the…

A top-down action roguelike in which you collect creatures and swap between their unique powers, it shares familiar DNA with games like The Binding of Isaac and Nuclear Throne, but with a Pokémon-style twist that has you collecting little creatures and harnessing their powers to overcome an on-screen frenzy of gnarly hazards.

You technically play as a mouse who is gifted…
