$950 million lost bitcoin: James Howells gives up landfill search after 12 years
James Howells , a computer engineer from Wales, has officially ended his 12-year quest to recover a hard drive containing the private keys to 8,000 Bitcoin (BTC)—now estimated to be worth nearly $950 million. Howells mistakenly threw out the device during a home clean-up in June 2013, when the Bitcoin it held was valued at around $63 million. It was believed to be buried deep in a Newport landfill , but the local city council repeatedly refused excavation requests, citing both environmental and financial concerns.

Howells filed a $620 million damages lawsuit against the city council in late 2024, but the case was dismissed in January 2025. Even after proposing to give 30% of any recovered Bitcoin to the city and its residents, regulatory hurdles and practical barriers ultimately led Howells to abandon the effort. His story underscores the 'irreversible nature of early Bitcoin losses' and the enormous challenges of recovering lost digital assets from physical storage.

Inspired by Neopolitan ice cream, the design serves up a nostalgic yet modern colour combo that's playful, stylish and unmistakably Band Bunny. Built on adidas' Adizero cushioning platform, the SL72 gets a contemporary upgrade without loosing its old-school charm. The upper features a rich mix of suede and breathable mesh, with chocolate brown dominating the top, balanced by cream laces and adidas' iconic Three-Stripes. It is both functional and fashion-forward, perfect for everyday wear or making a statement. A wave of 'Clear Pink' mesh flows across the lower half, meeting blue striping and soft 'Hazy Rose' overlays that melt into the pastel pink sole. The result is a layered, mismatched look that feels spontaneous and bold. Just like the reggaeton star himself, this sneaker does not shy away from attention.

Whether you're a longtime fan of the Suede or just getting into sneaker culture, this release brings something fresh and thoughtful to the table. This is paired with a rugged brown midsole and elevated by luxe details like a plush leather lining and a neon green inner collar that pops just enough without being too loud. But the real standout? Looped and interlaced cords replace the traditional Formstrip, transforming it into a customisable canvas of self-expression. From visible stitching around the eyelets to the cross-stitched tongue and cork insole, the details are considered and rich. It's the kind of sneaker that invites you to experiment, whether you're pairing it with neutral tones or going full maximalist. The collab also includes a full apparel capsule, featuring graphic tees, jerseys, outerwear and shorts to complete the fit. The Bodega x PUMA Suede will be available starting 9th August exclusively via Bodega's retail channels. Pricing and SKU details will be announced soon, so keep your eyes on Bodega's site and socials if you don't want to miss out on this limited drop.

Internet Archive is now an official US government document library
The US Senate has granted the Internet Archive federal depository status, making it officially part of an 1,100-library network that gives the public access to government documents, KQED reported. The designation was made official in a letter from California Senator Alex Padilla to the Government Publishing Office that oversees the network. "The Archive's digital-first approach makes it the perfect fit for a modern federal depository library, expanding access to federal government publications amid an increasingly digital landscape," he wrote. Established by Congress in 1813, the Federal Depository Library Program is designed to help the public access government records. Each congressional member can designate up to two libraries, which include government information like budgets, a code of federal regulations, presidential documents, economic reports and census data. With its new status, the Internet Archive will be gain improved access to government materials, founder Brewster Kahle said in a statement. "By being part of the program itself, it just gets us closer to the source of where the materials are coming from, so that it's more reliably delivered to the Internet Archive, to then be made available to the patrons of the Internet Archive or partner libraries." The Archive could also help other libraries move toward digital preservation, given its experience in that area. It's some good news for the site which has faced legal battles of late. It was sued by major publishers over loans of digital books during the Coronavirus epidemic and was forced by a federal court in 2023 to remove more than half a million titles. And more recently, major music label filed lawsuits over its Great 78 Project that strove to preserve 78 RPM records. If it loses that case it could owe more than $700 million damages and possibly be forced to shut down. The new designation likely won't aid its legal problems, but it does affirm the site's importance to the public. "In October, the Internet Archive will hit a milestone of 1 trillion pages," Kahle wrote. "And that 1 trillion is not just a testament to what libraries are able to do, but actually the sharing that people and governments have to try and create an educated populace."
