Gamers complained regarding an error when trying to launch CS2. The system displays the message: “Failure. An error occurred while updating Counter-Strike 2 (executable file not found).” As noted in the community, the error appears more often among players who did not participate in the CS2 beta test. Some users noted that restarting the Steam client is enough to solve the problem. CS2 was released on the night of September 28th. The new version of the shooter completely replaced CS:GO, which was removed from Steam.

The mystery of how the Earth’s 4-billion-year-old crust formed is beginning to unravel, thanks to new discoveries suggesting the existence of plate tectonics from that ancient era. These conclusions revolutionize our understanding of the processes that shaped not only the Earth, but perhaps also other planets in the Solar System (The solar system is a planetary system composed of a star, the…).
Possible methods of formation of the Eoarchean continental crust.
a) Sagduction (the dense crust sinks into the mantle due to gravity),
b) superposition of the continental crust on a boundary of convergent plates where it is less dense than the underlying mantle,
c) shallow subduction at a convergent plate boundary.
This research supports models b and c.

The formation of this continental crust remains enigmatic. Dr. Alan Hastie and his colleagues at the University of Edinburgh conducted fusion experiments. at high pressure-temperature on oceanic plateau basalts. This work indicates that the continental crust might not form at pressures lower than 1.4 GigaPascals (GPa), which suggests an origin linked to convergent subduction zones.

In addition to Earth, traces of silica-rich continental crusts have also been found on Mars and Venus, broadening the implications of these findings to other areas. other planets of the Solar System. The research team also found that certain minerals, such as garnet and rutile …), play a key role in these training processes.

Even more intriguing, scientists suggest that gases released by volcanism, notably carbon monoxide and methane, might have played a role in the appearance of life on Earth. These elements might constitute a source of prebiotic molecules, leading to the emergence of the first microbial organisms.

Areas such as the Isua greenstone belt in Greenland and the Archaean slave craton in Canada are considered the remnants of convergent plate margins above ancient subduction zones. In these regions, metabasic magmas would have mixed fluids from the melting subducting crust to produce new silica-rich magmas.

This year’s big bangs were bitcoin NFTs and engravings called Bitcoin Ordinals. In the first half of the year, these seriously pushed up the number of transactions on the Bitcoin chain. But they also had a very positive impact on mining revenues due to increased transaction fees. But now darker clouds are approaching. Not only has interest in Bitcoin Ordinals waned, but the halving of bitcoin will also have a major impact on mining revenue. Bitcoin Miners Need BTC Price Rise Now On September 26, Glassnode published an analysis that looked at whether mining still dominates transactions over cash flows. The engravings that appeared in February 2023 started to dominate the mempool quite quickly and they started to fill the blocks. However, Glassnode’s analysis shows that the number of pending transactions in the meme pool has spiked since May. However, most of these unconfirmed transactions do not have much data. Plus, the plain engravings compete for the cheapest block areas, so the urgent transfers crowd them out, which is why they always fall behind. A large number of pending transactions goes hand in hand with a large number of plain text indents. So these small texts increase the demand for block spaces. However, this is not just good news for miners. Because even though miners’ fees have increased due to mining, their income is still low overall. This is because the hash price is at an all-time low and the halving event is approaching. The hash price is only around $0.059 per terahash per second these days. This is 50% below the hash price at the height of the Bitcoin Ordinals frenzy and 85% below the $0.4 price at the peak of the bull market. As a conclusion, it can be said that if the price of BTC does not increase significantly, many miners may move into the loss zone. Especially following the halving next spring when block rewards will drop to 3.125 BTC. Encroachments are therefore still present in good numbers, but they are always ranked further back compared to cash flows, they do not supplant them.
