Rodney the cat, the famous feline who first sprang to the public s attention after being dumped outside Marton, is back in care once again after spending nearly four months on the run.

ZOTAC enrages PC gamers by promoting GeForce RTX as mining GPUs
The new cryptocurrency mining trend is unquestionably agitating the PC Gaming community. ZOTAC just got their ass handed back to them. On social media, ZOTAC USA posted a photo with a mining farm of ZOTAC cards; with the text An army of #ZOTACGAMING GPU s hungry for coin!
As anybody with a little sense could have anticipated; that tweet did not sit well see . many gamers are paying double the price for a graphics card these days (if they even can get a hold of one) due to, amongst others, cryptocurrency mining. It seems ZOTAC grew a soft spot for miners, as well .. each card sold is a card sold, right?
