The last quarter of 2022 wasn’t kind to Reality Labs, as the company recorded an operating loss of $4.3 billion. The last quarterly financial report for 2022 was like a cherry on top of the cake, except the cherry in this case is a multi-billion-dollar loss, and so is the cake.
In other words, 2022 was a disastrous year for Reality Labs and its parent company Meta. Meta’s losses on Reality Labs amounted to $13.7 billion, which is $3.5 billion more than in 2021, when this relatively young company had an annual loss of $10.2 billion.
Even 2020, the year when Reality Labs was founded, wasn’t something to be proud of. That year, Meta lost $6.6 billion on Reality Labs. That is over $30 billion in total since Reality Labs appeared on the VR scene.

ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, has found its place in the mainstream, counting millions of users worldwide. Most of them quickly realized the limitations of this model, and that’s why they expect the next version, the GPT-4, to be flawless. To prevent possible disappointment, we talked with the Acting Director of the Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Dubravko Ćulibrk, about what we can actually expect – more precisely, speculate – about the future model.
The startup scene of the Western Balkans may be small, but it is characterized by diversity, motivation and persistence, judging by the recently completed NINJA accelerator program, organized by the Digital Serbia Initiative. This program has shown on the micro level within which industries startups operate in Serbia, what are their most common challenges and which form of support is most important to them.
Skilled gamers are nowadays looking to either find new play-to-earn (P2E) games or polish their skills to earn more in their current favorite. P2E games are based on blockchain technology, and they reward gamers in digital cash or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for overcoming game-specific challenges. While the biggest boom in P2E occurred during the Covid-19 lockdowns, experts predict that 2023 will see another leg higher for these types of games.
While blockchain gaming certainly has a bright future, read about more on this topic here; not all P2E games are worth your attention. Below we take a look at the ten best P2E games you should play in 2023.
Have you ever been tempted to escape the troubles and hardships of the real world by immersing in the metaverse? Just like that, you unplug from this and plug into a virtual reality of yours for an hour or two to soothe your mind. Sounds attractive, right?
Definitely, provided that you aren’t familiar with the fact that metaverse is having hard times. Yes, you’ve read that correctly, the immersive mixed reality is going through turbulences that may shape its immediate future.
Sharding is a way networks- in this case, blockchains- can scale. It’s one of several well-known methods of database partitioning utilized with the aim of increasing scalability. With sharding implemented within the ecosystem, the entire network can process more transactions and support more users.
If Ethereum, for example, adopts sharding, this blockchain network would be split into multiple pieces, better known as shards, and stored in different places in the ecosystem. Still, it’s worth noting that this data portioning method only works when applied to a single database with a large dataset, making it an ideal solution for blockchain scalability issues.
Still, this is a beautifully designed system because now that a blockchain can be divided into smaller networks that, in a way, operate on their own, we don’t have to waste energy on creating excessive data. Furthermore, sharding ensures that shards depend on each other, as they only store fragments of data that don’t mean anything unless it’s piled with all the other data bits and pieces from the blockchain.

Cryptojacking is a cyber crime that involves getting unauthorized access to a victim’s device and exploiting its resources for crypto mining. The device in question can be anything from a mobile phone to a PC or server, and unlike other cyber attack types, cryptojacking can be considered “neutral.”
Why neutral?
Well, cryptojacking victims rarely suffer the consequences of a regular cyber attack. It isn’t in their attackers’ interest to lock the device, flood it with spam, or steal the victims’ data. Instead, they want it to perform as best as possible, as they rely on its computing resources to mine crypto.

Adobe clearly saw what a great impact project Shasta has had, and decided to move it to another level, rebranding it as “Adobe Podcast”. At the moment, you can only sign up to be on the waitlist for the beta version. Still, not everything is lost: Adobe has released two amazing online tools that tackle the most common (and most obvious) issues while creating a podcast episode – background noise and mic setup.
