World’s seemingly playful jab at Spotify comes as the firm faces scrutiny.
World, formerly known as Worldcoin, recently posted an apparent spoof of Spotify’s “Wrapped” year-end user reports, lampooning the music streaming service’s data privacy practices.
The seemingly playful jab came in the form of an image posted to X via World’s verified account with the statement, “World ID lets you & your actions stay anonymous online.”
The attached graphic featured text and imagery in the style of Spotify’s “Unwrapped” data-centric usage reports, which are tailored to individual users.
The integration requires no action from app developers and is currently live for all users.
United States-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase announced the full integration of Apple Pay into its Onramp app services.
Starting from Dec. 2, users logging into apps built with the Coinbase Onramp services will see the option to log in and conduct transactions via Apple Pay.
According to a blog post from Coinbase, app developers don’t have to do anything to enable the integration.
The new hardware could ultimately host a theoretical algorithm with the potential to transform proof-of-work.
Microsoft and Atom Computing, a technology firm based in California, recently announced a breakthrough in quantum computing that could pave the way for a proof-of-work transformation in the world of blockchain mining.
Scientists and engineers from the two companies developed a quantum computing system made up of 24 entangled logical qubits produced by just 80 physical qubits — a feat that sets a new record for the highest number of entangled logical qubits achieved using error correction techniques.
The significance of this scientific breakthrough is in the teams’ achieved efficiency. Previous estimates have indicated that it could take thousands of physical qubits working in tandem to produce a single logical qubit.
