You can now claim your piece of Apple's $95 million Siri privacy settlement

If you purchased an Apple device in the last 10 years, you might be able to receive some of the money from the company's recently settled spying lawsuit. The original lawsuit claimed Apple was capturing sensitive information with its Siri voice assistant without users' consent, and sending it to third-party contractors. The company agreed to settle the case for $95 million in January 2025, and thanks to the new landing page for the settlement, there's now a way to file a claim on your own. To fi...

Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky sentenced to 12 years for crypto fraud

CEO and founder of Celsius Network Alex Mashinsky has been sentenced to 12 years in prison by a US District Court. Celsius Network held about $25 billion in assets at its height, but was one of the many cryptocurrency operations to fail during 2022. Prosecutors were seeking two decades for Mashinsky, claiming he defrauded and misled customers about the status of his company's CEL token. "His crimes were not the product of negligence, naivete, or bad luck," the attorneys said. "They were the resu...

Threads will start telling users when their posts are demoted

Threads will finally start giving users more visibility into when their accounts are penalized for breaking its rules. Meta is bringing its “Account Status” feature to Threads, which will enable people to see when the company has removed or demoted posts or handed out other penalties. The change adds a layer of much-needed transparency to Threads, which already has a recommendation algorithm that can be hard for creators to understand.

Doloc Town is a self-described cosy post-apocalyptic farming sim platformer, and it's out in early access now

Doloc Town is a self-described cosy post-apocalyptic farming sim platformer, and it's out in early access now

I'm not sure if the words cosy and apocalypse are generally ones that go hand in hand together, but Doloc Town is positioning itself as just that. Specifically, it's a quite lovely looking pixel-art farming sim set in a post-apocalypse, and it just launched in early access today. Like in many farming sims before it, there's the usual thing of tending to and growing your crops, cooking them up, fishing, that sort of thing. Where it differs is it's all on a 2D plane, obviously meaning you'll have ...

Palworld removes Pal gliding as it continues its legal battle with Nintendo

Nintendo's lawyers have killed another Palworld gameplay mechanic. Pocketpair issued a patch on Thursday that changes how gliding works in the cheeky "Pokémon with guns" satire. You can still glide in Palworld, but you can no longer use your Pal to do so. Starting with patch v0.5.5, you can only soar with a boring, inanimate glider in your inventory. Although Glider Pals can still passively buff gliding, it's no longer as fun as flinging out the creature and using their aerodynamics to cross a r...

Most in-depth simulation games hone in on specific subjects or locations in order to keep their scope manageable. Cities Skylines and Sim City focus on urban centers. Microsoft Flight Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2, and Train Sim World each model types of vehicles. Worldwide Rush, though, takes a much broader approach to the genre, combining the globe-spanning scope of a game like Europa Universalis with the logistics management of something like Factorio or Satisfactory.

Helldiver 2's next warbond will let you look even more fascist than normal, adds in a literal sword

Helldivers 2 is, very obviously, a game where you roleplay as space fascists. Like, the game explicitly treats you as fodder for a war against various supposedly evil species all in the name of colonising other planets. It's not subtle! But it's also silly as hell, so the shooter more or less gets away with it. Arrowhead just announced a new warbond though, and I'll be honest: the new outfits are probably the most fascist looking yet.
