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

There is no memory safety without thread safety

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-06 00:35:39

There is no memory safety without thread safety Memory safety is all the rage these days. But what does the term even mean? That turns out to be harder to nail down than you may think. Typically, people use this term to refer to languages that make sure that there are no use-after-free or out-of-bounds memory accesses in the program. This is then often seen as distinct from other notions of safety such as thread safety, which refers to programs that do not have certain kinds of concurrency bugs

Forty years have passed since The Goonies delighted audiences and captured the adventurous imaginations of a generation. In that time, talk of a sequel has never ended, but as of earlier this year, it’s more real than it ever has been. Warner Bros. has, as of a few months back, hired someone to write a Goonies 2. And while many of the original cast members have been very vocal and excited about the idea, the group’s elder statesman, Josh Brolin, seems much less enthusiastic. Brolin, who went on

I Spent Weeks Testing Robot Lawn Mowers. Here Are 6 Things That Surprised Me

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-05 23:00:00

I spent the end of my spring and the beginning of my summer turning my backyard into a parking lot to test the best robot lawn mowers. In the process of doing that, I learned a lot about their benefits and their shortfalls. One of the biggest lessons was that, like most forms of automation, they can be a real pain to set up initially, but once they're ready to go, they save you a ton of effort and time compared with regular electric lawn mowers.
