Image: Getty 23andMe will pay $30 million to settle a class action lawsuit over a data breach that affected more than 6.9 million customers. As part of the proposed settlement, the genetic testing site will compensate affected customers and provide them with access to a security monitoring program for three years. 23andMe disclosed the data breach last October, but it didn’t confirm the overall impact until December. Customers using the DNA Relatives feature may have had information like names, birth years, and ancestry information exposed through the breach. At the time, 23andMe attributed the hack to credential stuffing, a tactic that involves logging in to accounts using recycled logins exposed in previous security breaches. In January 2024, c...

The Anker MagGo USB-C Adapter supports both SD and microSD cards. | Image: Anker Anker’s next puck-shaped accessory is an SD and microSD card reader called the MagGo USB-C Adapter that can be used with laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

The MagGo USB-C Adapter — available in white, black, or teal finishes for $34.99 from Anker or Amazon — is MagSafe compatible, so it can be secured to the back of an iPhone and kept out of the way while recording video. Since it does end up blocking both of the ways an iPhone can be charged, Anker has included an additional USB-C port on the MagGo that will pass along up to 42.5W of power. Image: Anker ...

Netflix and BuzzFeed want to make a deal this month, according to Bloomberg. Netflix and BuzzFeed declined to comment. If Netflix lands the “Hot Ones” deal, it would be a potentially major addition to the company’s growing slate of live shows, including WWE’s Monday Night Raw (which will air on the service starting next year), a three-year deal to show NFL games on Christmas Day, and a live Joe Rogan special that debuted last month....

Image: The Verge It looks like the fediverse is continuing to open up. In late March, Meta’s Threads introduced a beta feature that allows users from the US, Canada, or Japan to cross-post and view likes from Mastodon and, presumably, other federated social networks. In June, it added that ability to over 100 countries. While you can follow a step-by-step process to get to the Fediverse settings dialog, where you can opt in or out of sharing your Threads posts, there is now a single link that will take you right there. If you want to do it the long way around, you can still do it from the mobile app or the web version: On Threads’ mobile app, tap your profile icon in the lower-right corner, tap the parallel lines in the upper-right corner, and select A...
