Apple is settling a $100 million suit with a major modification to the anti-steering rule

As part of a proposed agreement to resolve a class action lawsuit from US app developers which includes a $100 million payout from Apple, the company also says iOS developers will finally be able to contact their customers, with permission, using information collected inside their apps. The change is a shift to the anti-steering policy that has been a big point of contention between Apple and its critics for years.

The change, while potentially important for developers, isn't quite as significant as it may seem. In an update to the App Store Guidelines in June, Apple already changed its rules to allow developers to communicate with customers outside of their apps, but at that time, they weren't allowed to contact users using information...

Hacker claims responsibility for T-Mobile attack, bashes the carrier’s security

A person claiming to be behind the T-Mobile data breach that exposed almost 50 million people's info has come forward to reveal his identity and to criticize T-Mobile's security, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. John Binns told the WSJ that he was behind the attack and provided evidence that he could access accounts associated with it, and he went into detail about how he was able to pull it off and why he did it.

According to Binns, he was able to get customer (and former customer) data from T-Mobile by scanning for unprotected routers. He found one, he told the Journal, which allowed him to access a Washington state data center that stored credentials for over 100 servers. He called the carrier's security "awful" and...

Palantir invested $25 million in Faraday Future

Posted: 26 Aug 2021 01:26 PM PDT

Data-mining firm Palantir invested $25 million in Faraday Future shortly before the electric vehicle startup became a publicly traded company in July, according to a previously unreported Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) document filed late last week.

In addition, Faraday Future signed a commercial contract to use Palantir's software, according to one of Palantir's most recent SEC filings. Neither company disclosed how much Faraday Future is paying, though Palantir's filing notes the contract will last between four and six years. Representatives for both companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Palantir says its software is meant to serve as a "central operating system" for companies that need to sift...

Pokémon TV app now available on Switch

Posted: 26 Aug 2021 01:16 PM PDT

Nintendo

The Switch still doesn't have apps like Netflix or Twitch, but Nintendo decided to do us one better by announcing that Pokémon TV — the media app devoted to all things Pokémon — is now available on the console.

Pokémon TV is an app that Pokémon enthusiasts can use to watch episodes of the long-running cartoon series, videos offering tips and tricks to players, and competitive Pokémon broadcasts. The app launched in 2019 on mobile and smart TVs and is now available for free on Switch.

In addition to being able to watch episodes from all seven series of Pokémon shows free of charge, the Pokémon TV app is also launching a Junior category with programming geared toward younger players and fans.

Twenty-five years after its debut in Japan, P...

Streamlabs, the popular livestreaming software company owned by Logitech, is rolling out a "monthly tipping service" as an alternative way for streamers to earn money from their fans. Streamlabs Creator Subscriptions will offer streamers flexibility on what kinds of subscriptions they offer, and they will integrate directly into Streamlabs' OBS software suite for streaming to Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook.

Using Streamlabs Creator Subscription seems about as simple as the company's earlier donation tools or the tipping feature that already existed on the platform. Creators can enable or disable monthly tips in settings, along with setting specific subscription prices. There's also the option to let a viewer tip whatever amount they want...

Disney Plus subscribers will finally be able to watch the Queen of Mean on the service at no additional cost beginning Friday.

The live-action origin story of Disney's notorious Cruella de Vil will hit the service tomorrow after debuting simultaneously in theaters and on Disney's Premier Access platform on May 28th. Premier Access releases typically run viewers an additional $30 on top of their monthly or yearly subscription costs to be able to access the film early. But Cruella will officially join the Disney Plus library beginning this week.

Emma Stone stars alongside a pack of sometimes real, sometimes CGI dogs in a spin on Disney's animated One Hundred and One Dalmatians. This one, though, is set in 1970s London and sees Stone take...

United Launch Alliance won't be selling any more of its workhorse Atlas V rockets, and it has stopped buying the launch vehicle's Russian-made rocket engines for good, the company's chief executive told The Verge. ULA's decision sets up the retirement of one of the US government's most trusted launch vehicles and is expected to mark the end for Russia's iconic — but controversial — RD-180 engine, an engineering marvel and a core source of revenue for Russia's space program.

"We're done. They're all sold," CEO Tory Bruno said of ULA's Atlas V rockets in an interview. ULA, a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin, has 29 Atlas V missions left before it retires sometime in the mid-2020s and transitions to its upcoming Vulcan...

Blizzard says it plans to change the name of Overwatch's gunslinger character following the explosive sexual harassment lawsuit brought against Activision Blizzard by the state of California. The character was originally named "McCree" after Jesse McCree, a former longtime Blizzard staffer who appears to be pictured in the so-called "Cosby Suite" reported on by Kotaku.

Blizzard hasn't shared a new name for the character yet, and the studio will delay an in-game narrative arc where he played a "key part" due to the change. The company also committed to no longer naming in-game characters after real employees.

Recently, some O...

Overwatch League cancels its in-person playoff events

The 2021 Overwatch League playoffs have hit a slight snag. Yesterday, the League announced it will no longer host live playoff matches in Dallas and Los Angeles.

"Due to significant changes in the environment affecting travel for some teams, we've decided to pivot away from originally scheduled live events in Dallas and Los Angeles," the League wrote in a statement on Twitter. "Instead, postseason competition will return to Hawai'i for playoffs."

The move is likely in response to the COVID-19 delta variant surge that's spreading across the globe and the diminishing ability for travelers to obtain visas to and from the United States.

Last season, the League split into two regions: North America and Asia Pacific, or APAC. Regular season...

Last year, a pipeline carrying compressed carbon dioxide mixed with hydrogen sulfide ruptured, engulfing the small town of Satartia, Mississippi, in a green haze, leaving many residents convulsing, confused, or unconscious. That explosion serves as a vivid warning about the risks posed by what could be the next generation of pipelines to crisscross the US, in a new investigation by HuffPost and the Climate Investigations Center.

"It was almost like something you'd see in a zombie movie," Sheriff's Officer Terry Gann tells journalist Dan Zegart about what happened that night. Zegart pieces together the events of February 2020 through harrowing 911 calls and the voices of family...
