Bitcoin Is Flowing Into US Platforms: Why This Is Bullish

by admin


Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

On-chain data shows the US-based central entities have been increasing their Bitcoin share recently. Here’s what this could mean for the asset.

Bitcoin US To The Rest Reserve Ratio Has Formed A Golden Cross

In a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, an analyst has talked about the latest trend in the Bitcoin US to The Rest Reserve Ratio. This indicator tells us, as its name already suggests, the ratio between the amount of the asset held by the American centralized platforms and that by the off-shore ones.

The metric takes into account for not just cryptocurrency exchange reserves, but also the coins involved with the likes of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). When its value rises, it means coins are transferring from other platforms into the US-based ones. On the other hand, it going down suggests foreign platforms are gaining dominance.

Now, here is the chart for the Bitcoin US to The Rest Reserve Ratio shared by the quant that shows the trend in its 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages (EMAs) over the past year and a half:

As displayed in the above graph, the 20-day EMA of the Bitcoin US to The Rest Reserve Ratio has seen a sharp surge during the past month, which implies the American entities have been gaining more share. Earlier, these platforms had been losing dominance so fast that the 20-day EMA fell below the 50-day one, but now, the reverse crossover has occurred with this uptrend.

From the chart, it’s visible that this type of crossover occurred last year as well. Clearly, this previous instance led to a rally for Bitcoin that took its price to new highs. The latest one has so far also had the same effect on the cryptocurrency, as it’s entered into all-time high exploration mode. Also, if the last golden crossover is to go by, this fresh run may go on for a while as well.

Something to keep an eye out for, however, is the death cross, which takes place when US platforms start losing dominance at a rate that takes the 20-day EMA under the 50-day one. Both of the previous occurrences of this pattern meant the end of bullish momentum for Bitcoin. As the analyst says, “ride the bullish wave while it lasts—until a death cross signals the end.”

In some other news, dormant coins have been moving back into circulation recently, as the on-chain analytics firm Santiment has pointed out in an X post.

As is apparent from the chart, the resolute hands only move their aged coins during major bull run opportunities. These smart hands have recently been showing this trend for the third time this cycle. It now remains to be seen whether this rally will be as big as those other two instances.

Every Game Shown During Today's Six One Indie Showcase
Game Updates

Every Game Shown During Today’s Six One Indie Showcase

by admin


 Introduction

The Six One Indie Showcase returned today with over an hour of indie love and more than 40 games to highlight. There were world premieres, new reveals and trailers, and more, including a vinyl and board game announcement. As triple-A games take longer and longer to develop, I find myself playing more indies. Not only do they fill the gap of big releases each year, but they’re also where I find the most unique games I’ve ever played. Today’s showcase is a great example of that, and below is my round-up of every game shown during today’s Six One Indie Showcase. 

You can use the table of contents to jump to different sections of games we’ve grouped together based on vibes. Each game name is in bold, and the developer or publisher is underneath it in italics. 

World Premiere: Truth Scrapper

InsertDisc5

From the creator of In Stars and Time, Truth Scrapper is an idyllic narrative adventure about memories and scrapbooking. As you meet new people on your journey and explore new areas like caves and towns, you can add pieces of your findings to your scrapbook. It looks like dialogue choices will influence what you remember as well, ultimately allowing you to create your own scrapbook.

Developer InsertDisc5 says the game is “a visual novel about magic, memories, and toxic lesbians.”

You can wishlist it on Steam here.

 Cozy and Chaotic Adventures

Cozy and Chaotic Adventures

Shadows of Chroma Tower 

Double Dash Studios

Shadows of Chroma Tower is a first-person fantasy dungeon crawler with an art style that looks reminiscent of Void Bastards, except spookier. The action looks fun and frenetic, and you can wishlist it on Steam here. The Steam page also details how to enter an upcoming playtest.

Artis Impact

Mas

In this exclusive look, we see more of Artis Impact’s subdued but beautiful pixel art on display, with a gorgeous storybook-esque world map to explore, too. The game’s combat is the real highlight, as the perspective switches to a cinematic shadowbox for one-versus-one duels.

It’s due out on August 7. You can wishlist it on Steam here.

1000 Deaths

Pariah Interactive

With Splatoon-like dialogue but a surrealist world that looks like something I’d see on Cartoon Network (or rather, Adult Swim) after randomly waking up in the middle of the night at 3 a.m. as a child, 1000 deaths is all about timed 3D platforming runs. It features dialogue choices that affect the story, 50 arcade levels to run over and over, and more.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here. There’s also a demo available on Steam right now.

Bobo Bay

NewFutureKids

In this cozy 3D adventure, talk to and collect local creatures that look like the Chao from Sonic the Hedgehog and send them into minigames, including races, firing duels, and more. There seems to be plenty to collect and ways to customize each one.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

Bonnie Bear Saves Frogtime

offbrand games

I have no idea what’s happening in this world, but I’m here for it. In this strange 2D adventure, play as Bonnie Bear, who likes cheese, frog-dependent minigames, and friends that look like fruit with arms and legs. Despite the oddity of the art style and world, the game seems quite cozy, with voice-acted dialogue to accompany the narrative.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here. There’s also a demo available on Steam right now.

Oscuro Blossom’s Glow

Hongoneon

In this exclusive look, the Six One Indie Showcase highlights Oscuro Blossom’s Glow, a 2D platformer that takes place underground. Utilize dung beetles, snails, and more to survive. It’s due out sometime this year.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here. There’s also a demo available on Steam right now.

Cast N Chill

Wombat Brawler

There’s plenty of cute indies with fishing minigames in them, but Cast N Chill is a dedicated fishing indie, and it looks gorgeous. Described as “cozy idle fishing,” with a cute dog to accompany you, I was sold the second I saw this game’s art.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

 Music Rhythm Games

Music Rhythm Games

Future Vibe Check

Akupara Games

As part of the showcase, developer Manik Bhat announced that a demo for Future Vibe Check is now available. Future Vibe Check is an “automation game where you make music,” according to Bhat. He says it combines Eastern philosophy and his love of music to create a unique esoteric adventure, calling it a game for fans of Factorio and Satisfactory. Mine resources, create a musical “vibe,” and continue upgrading your setup as you go.

You can check out the demo on Steam today and wishlist it there, too.

Fretless – The Wrath of Riffson

Playdigious Originals

In this pixel-art rhythm-based RPG, take down monstrous creatures, demons, and more with the power of metal music. As part of today’s showcase announcement, artists King Yosef and Ola Englund have joined the game’s already expansive OST of musicians that includes Northlane, Cult of Luna, Andrew Huang, Yvette Young, and more.

Fretless is due out sometime this year. You can wishlist it on Steam here.

Away From Home

Squishy

In this exclusive look, we see more of Away From Home’s beautiful pixel art and hear more of its awesome synth-focused soundtrack. Using a fretbar at the top of the screen, players engage in rhythm-based combat to take down foes while adventuring through this unique (possibly terrifying) world.

Away From Home launches October 22, and there’s a demo available right now. You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

Anatine

Pixel Trash

If you’ve ever wanted to experience a 2D pixel-art metroidvania where you play as a Mallard duck, Anatine is the game for you. And if you like rhythm games, even better, because playing music allows you to even the odds against the deadly enemies you’ll encounter throughout this journey.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

Scratch The Cat

FlatPonies

In this 3D collectathon, you play as a musically inclined DJ cat. It looks reminiscent of the 3D platformers from the Nintendo 64 era of games, with a unique world and fun cast of enemies to take on.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

1000xResist Vinyl

sunset visitor/Very OK Vinyl

1000xResist, one of last year’s best games, has an excellent score. And now, you can bring that score home with a beautiful 3xLP vinyl set with art by Kat Tsai. The 12×12 insert features art by Andrew Tsai. You can pre-order the vinyl set via veryokvinyl.com today.

Read Game Informer’s 1000xResist review here if you need another reason to check out the game.

 Vehicular Madness

Vehicular Madness

Jump The Track

Seed by Seed

In Jump The Track, you’re in trouble and have to find a way out. By letting a Pachinko-like ball guide your decisions and storytelling, it seems like every playthrough will be unique. Rank up stats, fight against the cops, and help save a city (and yourself) in this “arcade action comedy.” It launches next week on May 28th.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

Scaravan 66

Lithic Entertainment Inc. 

If you like Double Fine’s Full Throttle, Scaravan 66 is a game you need to keep an eye on. With a rockabilly Americana soundtrack, chaotic 3D vehicular combat, and a unique cast of characters to take down on the highway, Scaravan 66 is almost ready to welcome you to its Early Access launch on July 16.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

Rogue Eclipse

HUSKRAFTS

In this 3D space dogfight game, laser down enemies in an all-out war amongst the stars. It looks like Returnal, but in space, and instead of a human, you’re a sleek spaceship – pretty neat.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

 Six One Indie’s “Weird S***”

Six One Indie’s “Weird S—“

Glitchspankr

TheClassifiedX

Glitchspankr is about a 12-year-old boy in the 90s who tries to borrow his mom’s secret game, Big Booty Slapper 6 (my mom also loved this game). However, a sentient virus named Spunk has infected and broken the game, and it’s up to you and the glitchspankr anti-virus to find Spunk and spank him out of the game. If that premise isn’t enough to get you into the game, Glitchspankr also features a fun voxel art style, lots of meta (and raunchy) humor, and a dose of nostalgia for kids of the 90s.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here. There’s also a demo available.

Guilty As Sock

Demon Max

Imagine Ace Attorney, but you’re a clay-molded sock. And it’s a party game that you can play with up to 9 friends. Play as the judge, jury, or attorneys, and create fun, chaos, and seemingly anything but legal rulings in this courtroom.

It’s due out on May 29. You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

Grandma, No!

Wallride Games/Super Rare Games

Like an Adult Swim fever dream, Grandma, No! is… a lot. Enter your neighbor’s mouth as Grandma, bounce around her backyard, customize granny however you’d like, and become what appears to be the world’s worst (but most fun) grandmother ever. It’s out tomorrow!

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

Building Relationships

Tan Ant Games

In this dating sim meets 3D platformer, you play as a house. Yes, you read that right. You are a house looking for love, whether that’s a barn, a windmill, or some other building that’s caught your eye. There’s also fishing, spelunking, collectibles, and more.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here. There’s also a demo available right now.

Hotel Barcelona

CULT Games

In this team-up from Swery65 and Suda51, you’re an assassin out to assassinate several serial killers who all happen to be in the same place, Hotel Barcelona. The team behind the game calls it a 2.5D slasher film parody action game, and it looks rad as hell. Considering who’s behind it, we expect a great time.

Hotel Barcelona is due out sometime this year. You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

 The Dark, The Decrepit, and The Odd

The Dark, The Decrepit, and The Odd

Rue Valley

Owlcat Games

I’m just going to write, verbatim, what this trailer started with because it hooked me right in and I feel like a lot of us can relate to this in 2025: “Have you ever been in a situation where you need to do something simple, but somehow, you just can’t? Welcome to your brain, where your thoughts and personality traits fight for control like a group project gone wrong.” Yep, I’m sold.

Reminiscent of Disco Elysium, this isometric RPG utilizes personality traits we’re all familiar with, like extrovert and introvert, to progress. It’s not just about choices, but figuring out why you made those choices, and rewriting your brain.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

Carimara: Beneath The Forlorn Limbs

Bastinus Rex

Carimara: Beneath The Forlorn Limbs has a frankly terrifying art style that looks like a nightmare with characters that match the aesthetic too. It reminds me most of Inscryption, one of my all-time favorite games, and I’m not just saying that because it also features cards.

The game is launching soon, although no release date was given. You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

BattleVersus

BLE Studios

Like the 1000xResist vinyl, this highlight wasn’t about a video game per see, but a tabletop board game. Though the trailer was somewhat vague, it seems like BattleVersus pits players of different soldiers, from military to pirates to warriors, against each other on a chess-like battlefield. 

BLE Studios head Asa GreenRiver says BattleVersus “takes all the preconceived notions of what a tabletop game can be, polishes it up real nice, flips them upside down, and stomps them into oblivion.” It blends faction-based strategic multiplayer action and drops players into a dark tournament of power and poise. GreenRiver says it was built using video game design principles, and is open to various playstyles amongst the four playable factions.

You can check it out on Kickstarter here.

A Week In The Life Of Asocial Giraffe

Quail Button

The title says it all – in this game, live life as a giraffe who isn’t very social, despite everyone around them being very social. It features a cute 2D animated art style and looks charming.

It’s coming soon, and you can wishlist the game on Steam here. There’s also a demo available now.

Inkshade

Studio Vezelle

In this game, clearly inspired by Inscryption, you explore a dark world while traversing various board game-style arenas. I’m not exactly sure what’s going on, but I’m very excited to check it out because it looks like very much my type of game.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here, and a demo is available to try it out.

Kejora

Soft Source

Kejora is a 2D narrative timeloop adventure with a gorgeous animated art style. Use a slingshot to work through puzzles alongside your friend, and survive… something menacing that’s after you.

It launches September 4, but there’s a demo you can check out right now. Wishlist the game on Steam here.

One Way Home

Cyberhead

There’s only one way home, and it’s not going to be an easy journey. Traverse through a city that’s falling apart alone and haunted by some mysterious force with the power to take away everything you love. It looks terrifying in an Inside or Little Nightmares-esque way, and I can’t wait to give it a try.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here, and there’s also a demo available right now.

 You Gotta See This For Yourself

You Gotta See This For Yourself

Mouse: P.I. For Hire

Fumi Games/PlaySide

You’ve probably seen this game before, but if you haven’t, you’re in for a treat. It’s like the first-person shooter of Cuphead, in that it features a classic 1930s animated art style, but is more Doom than anything else. It continues to look amazing in today’s showcase, which highlights various guns players can use in the game.

Mouse: P.I. For Hire is due out sometime this year. You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

Kabuto Park

Doot Tiny Games

In Kabuto Park, catch cute bugs, win tiny battles using a unique deck of cards, and train your team to become the best there ever was. It features a cute and cozy art style, plenty of bugs to collect, and launches next week on May 28. Plus, there’s a demo available right now.

You can wishlist it on Steam here.

The Wide Open Sky Is Running Out Of Catfish

ZIPIT! Games

This game right here – more specifically, its title – is why I love indies. Because they can just do whatever they want. I have no idea what this game’s name means or implies, but it looks like an exploratory adventure where you use a camera to uncover mysteries, find new flying fish, and more. The wide open sky is running out of catfish… and I guess it’s up to you to fix that?

There’s a demo available right now, and you can wishlist the game on Steam here.

 Indie Horror

Indie Horror

Forbidden Solitaire

Night Signal Entertainment

Forbidden Solitaire is a “dark, FMV-inspired, dungeon-solitaire game,” and it looks as wild as it sounds. You just need to watch the trailer – it’s a game I can’t wait to play.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

Quite A Ride

Goodwin Games

In this War of the Worlds and Stephen King-inspired adventure, you ride a bike on the run from something that’s after you. And if the trailer is any indication, whatever you do, do not look back. It looks terrifying and has a tinge of that 1980s Stranger Things vibe that I can’t wait to check out. There’s also a very cute dog.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

Benny Bash

Eduardo Scarpato

Benny Bash is like if instead of Nintendo making Super Mario, the teams behind Silent Hill and Inscryption teamed up to make it in both its 2D and 3D iterations. It looks very scary and I actually can wait to play it because it might be too scary for me.

You can wishlist Benny Bash on Steam here.

Video Ghastlies

Oro Interactive

Keep the terrifying times rolling! In Video Ghastlies, watch VHS tapes on a CRT TV while the world around you grows scarier and scarier. This was a quick look, so it’s hard to grasp exactly what’s going on, but it looks like one horror fans should keep an eye on.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

Blue Ridge Hunting

Jade Meadows

Blue Ridge Hunting’s trailer introduces Eli James, founder of the Appalachian Investigation Group. He has spent his whole life tracking down creatures like Mothman, Sasquatch, and more in the local mountains. It then switches to a gnarly and scary visual style from the first-person perspective, and it seems like it’s now protagonist Levi Chambers’ job to track down these monsters.

You can wishlist Blue Ridge Hunting on Steam here.

 Cute, Cute, Cute

Cute, Cute, Cute

Petal Runner

Nano Park Studios/iam8bit

Set in a pink and purple-infused futuristic city, Petal Runner is a slice of life adventure with an art style that’s very Gen-1 Pokemon, with unique creatures to collect to boot. I immediately added this one to my wishlist, and you can do the same on Steam here.

Oddbat

Summerhouse Games

Oddbat is a mostly black-and-white 3D sidescroller that seems to be about escaping rather than taking down every enemy in a mysterious fortress. Oh, and you play as a cute bat.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

Kidbash: Super Legend

Authentic Remixes

Kidbash: Super Legend looks like Mega Man meets school art project, thanks to its 2.5D platformer combat and cardboard/clay art style. You can mix and match weapons you dual wield and collect new powers to take down the game’s various bosses.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

 One. More. Thing.

One. More. Thing. 

Dinoblade

Team Spino LLC

Six One Indie heads Mike Towndrow and Kyle Stephenson discovered this in-development game years ago on TikTok, and promised themselves that when it was time, they’d reach out to the developer and ask them to close a showcase. It finally happened!

In Dinoblade, you control a sick ass dinosaur (a Spinosaurus) with a sick ass sword who is set on becoming the king of the battlefield. It’s as simple as that – slash and hack through formidable foes with the sword in your mouth.

You can wishlist the game on Steam here.

And that’s every game shown during today’s Six One Indie Showcase. If you’re anything like me, you have a lot of games to wishlist on Steam – get after it!

Now that the showcase is done, you can visit the official Six One Indie Showcase homepage to learn more about these games through 20 hands-on previews, 40 developer interviews, and more. Plus, running from now until Monday, May 26, there’s a Six One Indie Showcase Steam event featuring more than 150 indies with exclusive new demos, special discounts, and more.

Asset Panda
Product Reviews

I tested Asset Panda and found it provides powerful customization and mobile app features for all business sizes

by admin



Why you can trust TechRadar


We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.

Asset Panda is a cloud-based IT asset management software platform. It helps businesses track and manage their physical assets from anywhere. Its standout feature is a customizable interface that adapts to your workflows, so you don’t have to change your processes. The platform allows unlimited users on any plan, making it great for organizations that want to boost adoption.

During our testing, we were particularly impressed with its mobile features. Asset Panda includes built-in barcode scanning and GPS location tracking for assets. You can customize fields, workflows, and reports easily, even without coding skills. This empowers non-technical users to tailor the system to their needs. However, we noticed that the website lacks clear pricing. New users must request quotes based on the number of assets they want to track.

The software provides real-time visibility into asset status, location, and lifecycle history. This helps organizations make better decisions about maintenance, replacement, and use. We found the reporting tools to be strong, allowing us to create custom reports on asset depreciation and maintenance schedules. While the initial setup has a learning curve, Asset Panda’s customer support and onboarding help ease the transition.


You may like

All in all, Asset Panda offers great value. It improves accountability, reduces asset loss, and streamlines workflows. The company claims customers see an average 800% ROI, which seems believable based on our observations. Although the mobile app sometimes has syncing issues and lacks full offline functionality, the platform’s strengths make it a solid choice for businesses wanting to modernize their asset management.

(Image credit: Asset Panda)

Asset Panda: Plans and pricing

Asset Panda does not show pricing on its website. Instead, potential customers must contact sales for a custom quote based on their needs. The pricing mainly depends on the number of assets tracked, not the number of users, which is unlimited for all plans. We found that plans usually start at about $1,500 per year for small businesses tracking fewer than 500 assets. Enterprise pricing increases based on asset volume and custom implementation needs.

The company offers a 14-day free trial that provides full access to the platform’s features. This allows organizations to try its capabilities before making a commitment. We like that Asset Panda includes unlimited cloud storage, custom fields, and mobile app users in all plans. This avoids the extra charges seen with some competitors. Customer support, training resources, and regular updates are part of the subscription price. However, organizations needing more help can purchase premium onboarding and dedicated support packages for an extra cost.

(Image credit: Asset Panda)

Asset Panda: Features

Asset Panda provides a full set of tools for asset management. These tools help organizations track, manage, and optimize their physical assets throughout their lifecycle. The platform is flexible and supports various industries, including IT, facilities management, healthcare, education, and construction. Here are some standout features we found during testing.

Customizable workflows

Asset Panda’s flexible workflow engine lets users tailor the platform to fit their processes. We created custom fields, forms, and actions for our test environment without coding skills. The system has role-based permissions that manage what user groups can see and do. This ensures data security while promoting collaboration between departments.

Mobile functionality

The mobile app is one of Asset Panda’s best features. It offers almost all the desktop functions in a touch-friendly design. The built-in barcode scanner worked well with different asset tag types. Plus, capturing photos and attaching them to asset records was very helpful for documentation. The GPS tracking feature records location data when assets are scanned or updated. This creates a useful audit trail of asset movements.

Asset lifecycle management

Asset Panda tracks assets from start to finish. It covers procurement, deployment, maintenance, and retirement. The platform lets you schedule maintenance, track warranties, and monitor depreciation in one place. We appreciated the automated alerts for maintenance deadlines and warranty expirations. These alerts help avoid costly mistakes.

Integration capabilities

The platform provides strong integration options via its API and ready-made connectors for popular business systems. We personally tested the integrations with G Suite for user authentication and Zendesk for managing support tickets about asset issues. Plus connecting Asset Panda with accounting systems like QuickBooks and ERP platforms lets asset data move smoothly between key business systems. All of this cuts down on redundant data entry and boosts accuracy.

Asset Panda: Analytics

Asset Panda’s reporting tools offer clear insights into asset use, status, and financial performance. You can access both pre-built and custom reports. The dashboard is user-friendly, making it easy to view key metrics, such as asset distribution by location, maintenance status, and upcoming expirations. You can save reports for quick access and set up automated email delivery to stakeholders. This keeps everyone informed without extra work.

The platform’s filtering and grouping options let users analyze asset data in various ways to spot trends and find optimization opportunities. For example, you can create custom reports on depreciation forecasts, maintenance costs by asset type, and utilization rates across departments. The report builder may have a small learning curve for complex analyses, but even simple reports offer valuable insights.

(Image credit: Asset Panda)

Asset Panda: Ease of use

Asset Panda has a clean and modern interface that’s generally easy to use. However, the many customization options can be overwhelming for new users. Still, the platform balances power and usability well. It features logical navigation and helpful tooltips for common tasks. Your team can customize dashboards based on their roles, which helps streamline the experience. That way, team members see only the information relevant to their jobs.

The mobile experience is impressive. It offers almost all the features of the desktop version in a touch-friendly format. During our testing, we liked how easily we could switch between devices while maintaining access to key data and functions. The setup process does take time to customize fields, workflows, and permissions, but the implementation team is there to help new customers.

(Image credit: Asset Panda)

Asset Panda: Support

Asset Panda provides support through email, phone, and live chat during business hours. We were impressed by their quick response times. Their knowledge base is extensive, with detailed articles, video tutorials, and step-by-step guides for common questions and use cases. We especially appreciated the regular webinars and training sessions. These sessions cover basic functions and advanced features, like custom report building and workflow automation.

(Image credit: Asset Panda)

Asset Panda: Security

Asset Panda prioritizes data security. They use industry-standard measures like SSL encryption, regular security audits, and role-based access controls to keep customer information safe. And the platform runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which offers strong infrastructure security and compliance certifications like SOC 2 Type II.

We particularly liked the detailed permission settings during our evaluation. These settings let administrators manage what information different user groups can access, modify, or report on based on their roles at the company. This helps organizations maintain data integrity while promoting collaboration.

Asset Panda: The Competition

AssetCloud by Wasp is an affordable option for small businesses needing simple asset tracking. However, it doesn’t offer the extensive customization that Asset Panda does. EZOfficeInventory and Snipe-IT have similar core features at competitive prices. Snipe-IT even has an open-source option for groups that can self-host.

For enterprises using ServiceNow or IBM Maximo, their asset management modules integrate well with IT service management. However, they usually come at a much higher cost.

Organizations focused on IT asset management may prefer Lansweeper or ManageEngine AssetExplorer. These tools offer better automated discovery for networked devices. UpKeep and Fiix excel in maintenance management, which is important for groups prioritizing equipment uptime.

Asset Panda is flexible and serves many purposes, but these specialized tools can provide deeper functionality in certain areas. But they may lack the all-in-one appeal that Asset Panda has for managing diverse asset types.

Asset Panda: Final Verdict

Asset Panda offers a strong and customizable asset management solution. It adapts to many tracking needs across various industries. Its unlimited user model, mobile features, and customization options provide great value. However, pricing is not clear, and it has a steep learning curve. For organizations that rely on spreadsheets or outdated systems, Asset Panda brings a mix of flexibility and structure. This can change how assets are managed throughout their lifecycle.

We’ve also listed the best software asset management (SAM) tools.

‘A New Frontier’: DeLorean Launches On-Chain Car Marketplace With Patrick Stewart
NFT Gaming

‘A New Frontier’: DeLorean Launches On-Chain Car Marketplace With Patrick Stewart

by admin



In brief

  • The DeLorean Motor Company has teamed up with Patrick Stewart for the launch of its on-chain car marketplace.
  • The “Star Trek” actor appears in a 60-second promo spot for DeLorean.
  • The DeLorean Marketplace will enable car enthusiasts to buy and sell their build slots for the upcoming DeLorean Alpha 5 EV model.

Renowned British actor Sir Patrick Stewart has teamed up with the DeLorean Motor Company to launch a car marketplace on the blockchain.

Based on the Sui network, The DeLorean Marketplace is designed to modernize the process of reserving, managing and reselling high-end cars.

DeLorean shot to fame back in the 1980s, when the company’s DMC-12 car was featured as the iconic time-travel machine in the “Back to the Future,” films—but the company hasn’t manufactured a new vehicle in more than 40 years.

All of that is about to change as it unveils the Alpha 5 EV, bringing its iconic gull-wing doors into the 21st century.

Build slots for the hotly anticipated car are going to be tokenized, meaning they can be traded between users.

Image: DeLorean Labs

“A new frontier awaits…”

Stewart tweeted a dramatic, slickly produced 60-second spot to promote the Alpha 5, declaring, “A new frontier awaits…”

In the video, the “Star Trek” star said, “We find ourselves standing before the evolution of automotive science, where innovation meets an icon.”

DeLorean’s chief brand officer Cameron Wynne said the company’s embrace of blockchain is a natural fit, as its brand stands for “vision, rebellion and futuristic innovation.”

In a press release shared with Decrypt, Wynne said that DeLorean’s new on-chain reservation platform, “advances our commitment to transparency and security, giving our community direct access to the future of vehicle ownership.”

Image: DeLorean Labs

The blockchain will also be used to deliver a transparent, immutable ledger for each new DeLorean rolling off the production line, enabling buyers in the resale market to access authenticated data relating to its history and performance.

A native token called $DMC is set to launch at a later date, enabling holders to stake and earn rewards.

DeLorean Labs’ Web3 ambitions

The new marketplace is the brainchild of DeLorean Labs, a dedicated Web3 division, and the company has ambitions to roll out its marketplace model to other industries who would benefit from on-chain solutions.

Build slots are available to reserve at marketplace.delorean.com in NFT form and can be purchased using USDC, one of the world’s best-known stablecoins. Issued by Circle, the digital asset is pegged on a 1:1 basis with the dollar.

Each slot costs $2,500, with the fee acting as a credit toward the cost of the Alpha 5 EV once it’s produced and delivered. Executives say it doubles up as a “ticket to owning a piece of DeLorean’s future.”

Build slots with a lower number carry a higher priority for earlier delivery, meaning they could attract a premium in the future.

Once cars go into production, NFT holders will also be able to customize their vehicle—and have their say on everything from the vehicle’s color to its powertrain.

DeLorean said that intelligent, intuitive human design and craftsmanship are at the heart of its new vehicle, with builds set to commence at a later date.

Celebrating The $1.1 Billion Slice Of Crypto History

by admin


Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

May 22, 2025, marked another Bitcoin Pizza Day. It began with a simple trade back in 2010. A Florida programmer offered 10,000 bitcoins for two large pizzas. Those pizzas cost about $41 then. Now, those same coins are worth over $1.1 billion. That shift highlights how much has changed in just 15 years.

First Real Bitcoin Purchase

According to BitcoinTalk forum records, on May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz posted a request to swap 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. A 19-year-old user known as “jercos” agreed. He bought two pies from Papa John’s for roughly $25 and had them sent to Hanyecz’s door. That moment became the first time Bitcoin was used to buy a physical item. It was simple and almost accidental. Few saw it as the start of something big.

Value Surge Over Time

Based on reports from market data sites, Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $111,056 on May 23, 2025, up 0.25% in 24 hours. A single coin now tops six figures. Those 10,000 BTC would today buy about 70 million pizzas at the same price. The global crypto market cap sits near $3.50 trillion. This rise shows how early bets on crypto have paid off, though not without big swings along the way.

Community Celebrations Worldwide

From Berlin to Manila, local communities celebrate the day with meetups and speeches. In the Philippines, fans organize booths and panels to educate neophytes. They offer advice on wallets, security, and reading blockchain information. In Europe, small restaurants even accept crypto payments for slices. It’s a mix of party atmosphere and beginner lessons. People share stories of their first trades or near-missed gains.

What This Means For Users

For others, Bitcoin Pizza Day is not just nostalgia. It illustrates the risks and rewards of early technology wagers. It reminds consumers how quickly markets shift. Retail investors observe that small decisions in 2010 can equal gigantic amounts today. But it also cautions against wild volatility. Prices increase or decrease by thousands within a matter of hours. Figuring out how to cope with that is now part of rudimentary crypto literacy.

Bitcoin Over The Years

Over 15 years, Bitcoin has gone from underground code to a mainstream asset, exchanges now offer futures, ETFs and custody services, some governments even talk of holding it as a reserve, and US President Donald Trump has called for clear crypto rules.

As wallets and apps get friendlier, people are using Bitcoin for everyday buys and building on-chain payment tools. Before long, grabbing coffee with Bitcoin could feel as normal as swiping a card, an idea that started in 2010 when 10,000 coins bought two pizzas.

Not So Far, Far Away: Nearly All Galaxy Phones Updating to One UI 7 in June

by admin


As it turns out, Galaxy updates won’t be so far, far away. That’s according to a schedule for One UI 7 updates purportedly posted by Samsung Germany and spotted by Samsung leaker Tarun Vats on X early Friday. According to that schedule, reported earlier by 9to5Google, Samsung will complete the OS update for all but one of its remaining devices in June. The last device to be updated will be the Galaxy Tab A9 in July.

One UI 7 is the tech giant’s most recent software update, built on Android 15, featuring advanced AI integration and a refined interface. Samsung initially launched the updates in early April, but paused them after a bug locked people out of their phones. It resumed the rollout in late April, but declined to provide further details about the original issue.

These will be the phones and tablets updated to One UI 7 in June, according to the posting:

  • Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024)
  • Galaxy Tab Active 5
  • Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro
  • Galaxy Tab A9+
  • Galaxy A55
  • Galaxy A54
  • Galaxy A53
  • Galaxy A35
  • Galaxy A34
  • Galaxy A33
  • Galaxy A25
  • Galaxy A16
  • Galaxy A15
  • Galaxy A14
  • Galaxy A05s
  • Galaxy M53
  • Galaxy M33
  • Galaxy XCover7
  • Galaxy XCover 6 Pro

For folks not yet in the know, the One UI 7 updates will provide a raft of new features, according to this Samsung explainer. A Now Bar at the top of the screen will offer “real-time news updates to workout progress and sports scores.” Another addition is Google Gemini, which allows users to connect to multiple apps, such as to find a restaurant or movie theater.

An upgraded Settings menu “understands natural language commands,” and the “AI Select feature serves as your intelligent creative assistant, suggesting relevant AI tools based on your activity.”

Galaxy users shouldn’t get too cozy with the Android 15 updates — the Android 16 iteration could be arriving in early summer, according to another tidbit from Samsung leaker Vats. Just weeks after Samsung said One UI 8 with Android 16 would launch this summer, Vats on Wednesday posted an image of the official forum page for the One UI 8.0 beta for the Galaxy S25 series.

One UI 8 updates reportedly will include a redesigned weather app and an Audio Brief to provide you with a summary of the day.

FTC finally drops appeal against Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard
Game Updates

FTC finally drops appeal against Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard

by admin


Microsoft may have sealed the deal to acquire Activision Blizzard all the way back in 2023 for $68.7bn, making history as the biggest company buyout in the video games industry to date, but only now has the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) finally given up its own fight.

The FTC has been contesting Microsoft’s purchase since its conception in 2022, arguing – in an antitrust lawsuit filed in December that year – the deal would “harm competition in multiple dynamic and fast-growing gaming markets”.

Following the acquisition in October 2023, the commission still fought on, issuing an appeal in an attempt to overturn the court’s decision that December. However, earlier this month, the 9th Circuit Court rejected the appeal, and now the FTC has officially dropped its case.

“The Commission has determined that the public interest is best served by dismissing the administrative litigation in this case. Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that the Complaint in this matter be, and it hereby is, dismissed. By the Commission,” reads the official filing, which was issued last night.

The news was shared by Microsoft president Brad Smith on social media, with the exec calling the decision “a victory for players across the country and for common sense in Washington, DC”.

Smith added he was “grateful to the FTC” for its announcement.

Since Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard in 2023, the company has continued to keep games such as Call of Duty on PlayStation. Additionally, it has since added a number of its Xbox Studios titles to additional platforms, with the likes of Obsidian’s Grounded now being available on both Switch and PlayStation.

More recently, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle released on PS5, and earlier this month it was announced that a revamped edition of the original Gears of War game will be coming to PlayStation later this year.

Wordle today: Answer and hint #1435 for May 24

by admin



Whether you need a little or a lot of Wordle help this weekend, we’ve got exactly what you need ready to go. Keep it simple with a quick glance at our general tips, go a little deeper with a clue written especially for today’s game, or run straight for the May 24 (1435) answer. We just want to make sure you win.

Every guess after the first row felt like a cruel tease today. I was so sure I’d definitely got the answer this time. No? OK then, this time. Maybe this time, please? I could see I was slowly inching my way towards today’s winning word because new green and yellow letters kept popping up, but it didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere. At least by the time I hit the bottom of the board there was only one valid word left to try—panic over.

Wordle help: 3 tips for beating Wordle every day 

A good starting word can be the difference between victory and defeat with the daily puzzle, but once you’ve got the basics, it’s much easier to nail down those Wordle wins. And as there’s nothing quite like a small victory to set you up for the rest of the day, here are a few tips to help set you on the right path:

  • A good opening guess should contain a mix of unique consonants and vowels.
  • Narrow down the pool of letters quickly with a tactical second guess.
  • Watch out for letters appearing more than once in the answer.

There’s no racing against the clock with Wordle so you don’t need to rush for the answer. Treating the game like a casual newspaper crossword can be a good tactic; that way, you can come back to it later if you’re coming up blank. Stepping away for a while might mean the difference between a win and a line of grey squares.

Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and you’ll need to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them to keep up your winning streak.

You should start with a strong word like ARISE, or any other word that contains a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. You’ll also want to avoid starting words with repeating letters, as you’re wasting the chance to potentially eliminate or confirm an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you’ll see which ones you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.

Your second guess should compliment the starting word, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer. With a bit of luck, you should have some coloured squares to work with and set you on the right path.

After that, it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there’s an E). Don’t forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS).

If you need any further advice feel free to check out our Wordle tips, and if you’d like to find out which words have already been used you can scroll to the relevant section above.

Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle, as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle, refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn’t long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures. Surely it’s only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.
