Welcome to CHEAP, our series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP! When we started CHEAP, it had a simple premise: finding a great deal, no matter the cost. And, well, we’ve just found the deal to top all deals. Say hello, one and all, to a baby T-Rex skeleton – (arguably) the only one in existence! Yes, it might set you back $2.95 million, but you’ll be the only person in the world to own one. Surely that’s worth it. So, what sorta specs does this baby T-Rex have then? What can you expect to…

WikiLeaks has raised more than 30,000 worth of Bitcoin since Julian Assange‘s confronting arrest last week. In the six days following Hard Fork’s original report, a touch over 6 BTC ($31,800) has been sent to WikiLeaks‘ public address, spread across 299 donations. Contributions in prominent altcoin Zcash (the only other cryptocurrency WikiLeaks accepts) also increased, with 16.25 ZEC ($1,100) sent since last Thursday.

Distil Networks today published its 2019 Bad Bot Report, which looks at the current state of automated web traffic, both good and bad. The paper highlights some startling figures, including that bots accounted for 37.9 percent of all online traffic during 2018. This is a admittedly a startling number, but it actually represents a welcome decrease on last year’s figures. This decrease can be found across legitimate bot traffic (like, for example, the scrapers travel sites use to identify flight deals) as well as ill-intentioned bots (like those used to conduct denial-of-service attacks). These slumped by 14.4 percent and 6.4…
