Gabe Newell: ‘Most of the people talking about metaverse have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about’
Valve President calls metaverse a problem that was solved a decade ago.
Gabe Newell, the co-founder and CEO of Valve Corporation, the company that gave us iconic games like Half-Life and Portal, does not believe in the hype around the metaverse.
In an interview with PC Mag, Newell even went on to say “Most of the people who are talking about metaverse have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about”. ## The hype around the Metaverse.
After rebranding his former social media company, Zuckerberg spent billions of dollars in the last quarter of 2021 trying to build the metaverse. A survey conducted last month found that 78 percent of Americans who knew about the metaverse thought that it was all just hype. It wouldn’t probably ring very well for Mark Zuckerberg if he knew that 65 percent of people in this survey did not want to purchase anything in the metaverse.
While Newell wasn’t talking about one person per se, he called the metaverse ideas floating around a bunch of get rich quick schemes\.
Mark Zuckerberg is spending billions to build and promote the Metaverse, but what does it really offer that we do not already have?

The Iron of Earth’s Inner Core Could Be in a Strange ‘Superionic’ State, Study Finds
Deep below the crust of Earth, past the thick mantle and liquid outer core, lies a 1,220-kilometer (760 mile) ball of solid inner core.
But a new study has suggested that the inner core is not solid at all, instead forming a ‘superionic state’ with hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, making it unlike either a liquid or a solid.
We can’t exactly drill down the 6,371 km (3,959 miles) to the center of the Earth to check what’s going on, so scientists use Earth’s natural drill – seismic waves from earthquakes – to understand the composition of our planet.

Homemade humidifier ultrasonic Arduino and 3D printed
It can create a lot of mist and it really looks like a magic smoke capacitor. I can say the project is a success. The idea is to add perfume to the water and give a good smell to your home. Just a few drops and it will give a very nice odor to the water mist. So this project is cool but is useful as well.
