The creators mocked up a logo, got TikTok influencers to promote it (and one to wear its swag on a video), apparently threw a party, and announced the EATS token through a press release that went out over a service used often by legitimate companies. Almost immediately after its launch, CryptoEats vanished from the internet, along with a few hundred thousand dollars in one of the more elaborate shitcoin rug pulls in recent memory.

And going all-in on USB-C was basically unheard of. At the time, USB Type-A was still dominant on laptops and desktops, while Android manufacturers like Samsung were only just starting to switch away from Micro-USB in their flagship phones. Most people know what happened next: Owners were forced to invest in adapters for all their old peripherals. Their laptop itself may have gotten slightly slimmer and lighter, but for pro use on the go, any space or weight saved in a backpack or briefcase was tempered by the added bulk and complexity of the extra accessories you needed.

The model focuses on two major structures in the sky: the North Polar Spur and the Fan Region, according to a press release from the University of Toronto. While the structures were seemingly unconnected since their discoveries in the sixties, a team of researchers at the university led by astronomer Dr. Jennifer West now suggests that theyâre actually a part of a huge, tunnel-like magnetic field surrounding the solar system.
