Gaming and NFTs are a combination that has seen an incredible increase within the last several years. It’s been noted, however, that often times within Metaverse gaming, the product is viewed as empty or not delivering on entertainment promises made in earlier trailers. Not taking the proper time for design and concept and a lack of follow-through lead to lackluster results.

How can gaming, NFTS, and Metaverse be connected in a way that focuses both on valid entertainment and financial gain?

On today’s episode of Gossip About Gossip, host Zenobia Godschalk talks with Patrick de Grijs, head of concept and the marketing community, and Milan Wiercx van Rhijn, partnership and team advisor, both from Earthlings, about Earthlings, a play-and-earn gaming Metaverse project created by Hedera.

The three discuss…

  1. How Earthlings is not only fun, entertaining, and profitable, but is also designed to bring gaming to web3
  2. The benefits that coincide with DLT and NFTs: anti-cheating, ownership of assets, and financial incentive
  3. The devoted community that resulted in lower fees, faster than average confirmation times, and inspiration for the network

“What is a metaverse?” It’s a digital place where you dive into a world where you connect and meet other people,” de Grijs said. “That’s actually what gamers are already doing. And then, if you take into account that half of the population is gaming, then why not combine the two and make a great product?”

Patrick de Grijs is the head of Concept and the Marketing Community for Earthlings. He is the co-founder of Earthlings.land.

Milan Wiercx van Rhijn is the Partnership and Team Advisor for Earthlings. In addition to his technological achievements, he is also a beekeeper.

Truvant picks QAD | Redzone to run all seven packaging campuses on one system

Contract packager Truvant selected QAD | Redzone for a cloud-based transformation spanning seven campuses in the United States and Poland. Configured once and copied without custom code, the QAD Adaptive ERP, Redzone and ChampionAI stack is meant to become Truvant's template for bringing acquired plants aboard. Rollout planning is underway.

  • 01For a contract packager integrating acquisitions, a repeatable global template could speed onboarding each new site.
  • 02Truvant piloted Redzone at one site before expanding. A key test is onboarding a new site on the standard configuration.

Park Place's AI health scores rate hardware from 0 to 100 against peer models

Park Place's AI health scores rate hardware from 0 to 100 against peer models

ParkView Asset Intelligence from Park Place Technologies scores servers, storage and network gear from 0 to 100 using more than 35 years of maintenance records. Each device is benchmarked against similar hardware by manufacturer, product family and product line. For organizations running hardware past OEM support, the company says the scores supply documented evidence to justify that decision.

  • 01Regional spare-parts stock is built into each 0 to 100 score, so a device's supportability is judged where it actually sits.
  • 02For hardware kept past OEM support on third-party maintenance, read each score with its confidence indicator and the model-family average beside it. A 66 means something different when peers average 92.

AI Helps Find PHP Flaws as 4,700 UAE Servers Flagged

AI researchers at Wiz, Calif, and OpenAI uncovered two critical PHP vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, rated 9.2/10) that enable unauthorized command execution; Censys data shows 4,691 UAE servers potentially exposed, with 50,000+ attack attempts tracked from 600+ addresses in 70 countries. Business owners must upgrade their server's PHP installation directly through their hosting provider, not just update WordPress.

  • 01Two critical PHP vulnerabilities (9.2/10 severity) discovered by AI tools enable unauthenticated remote code execution; WordPress updates do not fix them, requiring direct PHP server upgrades through hosting providers.
  • 024,691 internet-facing UAE servers (79.5% of identifiable hosts) flagged as potentially exposed; over 50,000 attack attempts from 600+ addresses across 70 countries recorded by 27 October.
  • 03Fixed PHP versions are 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, and 8.2.35; sites running PHP 8.1 or older must upgrade or obtain vendor patches, with confirmation required from hosting provider since version numbers may not update.
