Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile’s 2021 data breach victims have started receiving payments from the $350 million settlement. While most users received around $56 or $226 each, those who proved extensive financial harm received much more — over $4,000 in two cases. Such submissions required verifiable losses, such as identity theft, and included claims for associated expenses like legal fees and credit repair fees. Last month, users began receiving their share of the $350M settl

Commerce Sec. Lutnick says TikTok will go dark if China won't agree to U.S. control of the social media app

cnbc.com Ashley Capoot 2026-01-13 23:54:03

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Thursday that TikTok will go dark for Americans unless China agrees to give the U.S. more control over the popular short-form video app. "We've made the decision. You can't have Chinese control and have something on 100 million American phones," Lutnick told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Thursday. TikTok's future in the U.S. has been uncertain since 2024, when Congress passed a bill that would ban the platform unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, dives

Killing Floor 3 is a case study in contradictions, positively iterating on the best aspects from the series' past while introducing confusing features that would make more sense in another game. Put simply, the new changes make Killing Floor 3 a AA-feeling horde shooter with a battle pass. It's a pick-up-and-play arcade game with a loadout system.

Humans Counted 8,600 Earthquakes in Yellowstone. AI Says We’re Not Even Close

Before the advent of artificial intelligence, experts often detected earthquakes by analyzing seismic data by hand. Unsurprisingly, this approach takes a long time, is cost-intensive, and usually identifies fewer earthquakes. Machine learning has now changed virtually everything. Using artificial intelligence, researchers have retroactively identified and assigned magnitudes to ten times as many seismic events in historical earthquake data from the Yellowstone caldera from 2008 to 2022 as had b
