Der8auer shows off Nvidia's so-far unreleased dual 12VHPWR to 6x 8-pin adapter that was likely meant for the RTX Titan Ada that never came out.

Imagine you invest $500 to help a startup get off the ground through investment crowdfunding. The pitch is slick, the platform feels trustworthy, and the company quickly raises its target amount from hundreds of people just like you. Then—silence. No updates, no financials, not even a thank-you.

You’ve been ghosted—not by a friend, but by a company you helped fund.

This isn’t just an unlucky anecdote. It’s hap

We just shipped a new feature in NextDNS: Bypass Age Verification.

More and more sites (especially adult ones) are now forcing users to upload IDs or selfies to continue. We think that’s a terrible idea: handing over government documents to random sites is a huge privacy risk.

This new setting workarounds those verification flows via DNS tricks. It’s available today to all users, including free accounts.

* Tables actually look like tables (with Unicode borders!)

* Nested lists work correctly with indentation

* Full-text search with highlighting

* Copy content straight to clipboard with `c`

* Export to markdown/CSV/JSON
