Comcast users hit by the 2023 Xfinity data breach have until Aug. 14 to submit claims for cash or services from a $117.5 million settlement. The final green light on the deal is scheduled for July 7 in federal court in Philadelphia. About 31.6 million people who received breach notifications make up the class. Anyone who can document out-of-pocket expenses and lost time is eligible to claim up to $10,000 per individual; lost time is compensated at $30 per hour, up to a five-hour limit. Others in the class can file for a cash payment, estimated around $50. On top of that, all class members qualify for three years of identity-defense protection, which comes with credit monitoring, dark web surveillance,

Microsoft Outlook Lite Shutdown Date Set: Android Users Lose Mailbox Access After May 25

REDMOND, Wash., April 14, 2026, 05:08 PDT. Microsoft plans to pull the plug on its Outlook Lite app for Android come May 25, ending mailbox access for anyone still using it and pushing users toward the main Outlook Mobile app, per a Microsoft 365 admin notice dated April 10. After the cutoff, users can open the app, but mailbox access, navigation, and nearly all functions inside Outlook Lite are set to stop working.

Blackmagic Unveils URSA Cine Immersive 100G for Apple Vision Pro, Adds 12K LF 100G Ahead of NAB 2026

Blackmagic Design rolled out a live-production URSA Cine Immersive camera targeting Apple Vision Pro on Monday night, plus a 100-gigabit Ethernet version of its URSA Cine 12K LF—steps that signal a bigger push into immersive video and IP broadcast as NAB 2026 approaches. The company’s U.S. site posted the URSA Cine Immersive 100G at $29,145, while the URSA Cine 12K LF 100G started at $9,895. Launch materials pointed to a third-quarter release, with starting prices listed at $26,495 and $8,995 before local duties. Apple’s push into immersive content comes as the company continues building out its Vision Pro catalog. Last year, Bob Borchers, vice president of worldwide product marketing, called the new format a redefining moment for storytelling. Since then,

Microsoft Surface Price Hike: Surface Pro and Surface Laptop Jump Up to $500 as RAM Crunch Bites

REDMOND, Washington, April 14, 2026, 04:14 PDT. Microsoft just bumped up U.S. prices on its Surface PCs, with some versions now $500 more expensive—a move tied to pricier hardware as memory supplies tighten. The 13-inch Surface Pro and the 13.8-inch Surface Laptop each start at $1,499.99 on Microsoft’s store. The 12-inch Surface Pro comes in at $1,049.99.

Apple Foldable iPhone Still on Track for September as Dummy Leak, Crease Fix Reports Surface

April 14, 2026, 4:13 AM PDT — Cupertino, California. Apple still looks on track for a September launch of its first foldable iPhone, and the company might be closing in on a solution to the screen crease—one of the main headaches for foldables. Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, citing sources this week, said September remains the target for rollout. TrendForce, meanwhile, reported that display material upgrades are now key to tackling the crease issue.

Lenovo Legion Go 2 Price Hits $2,849.99 as Memory Crunch Hits Gaming Handhelds

Lenovo’s U.S. site has jacked up the price of its Legion Go 2 handheld with 2TB storage to $2,849.99—a steep climb from the $1,479.99 launch tag seen last September. Over at B&H Photo, the same 2TB Ryzen Z2 Extreme model is still marked $1,849.99, creating a $1,000 gulf between Lenovo’s own web store and a key retailer. This hits just as PC hardware makers are grappling with a new round of component price hikes. Analysts are flagging sharp contract-price jumps for DRAM—the main memory in PCs—and NAND flash, the storage chips in SSDs, this quarter, with AI servers soaking up supply.

Reports from Android Authority and SammyGuru flagged these tweaks as incremental upgrades—not a full overhaul.

Sandisk Stock Jumps as Nasdaq-100 Entry Nears, Replacing Atlassian

Sandisk shares shot up 7.2% to $912.82 in late-morning New York trading Monday, following news the company will join the Nasdaq-100 before markets open April 20, replacing Atlassian. The stock’s jump outpaced the 0.2% rise in the Invesco QQQ ETF. This move matters: the Nasdaq-100, which tracks 100 top non-financial companies listed on Nasdaq, is a major reference point for index funds and ETFs. Nasdaq puts the number of products tied to the gauge at more than 200, collectively overseeing upwards of $600 billion in assets. As Reuters pointed out last month, inclusion in a blue-chip index like this can broaden a firm's shareholder reach and help boost liquidity in the long run.

Salesforce Stock Back in Focus as Choreo LLC, Sumitomo Mitsui Cuts Resurface

Recent reports over the last two days brought renewed attention to old Q4 filings on Salesforce, with both Choreo LLC and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group shown trimming their stakes in the cloud software giant. The original 13F documents hit the SEC’s system on Jan. 23. By Monday morning, Salesforce shares had climbed $5.54 to $170.50. Big software names are back in the spotlight, and it’s not exactly comfortable timing. The S&P 500 Software and Services Index has slid 25.5% in 2026, Reuters said last week, as investors fret that rapid-fire developments in AI could erode the appeal of established subscription-software players.

Amazon Ends Support for Older Kindles on May 20, and a Reset Could Leave Them Unusable

Amazon plans to drop support for Kindle and Kindle Fire models launched in 2012 or before starting May 20, leaving those devices unable to purchase, borrow, or download fresh titles straight from the Kindle Store. Deregister or factory-reset one of these older devices after that, and you won’t be able to log in again. Owners face a tighter squeeze thanks to the details: these devices won’t keep access to downloaded books unless users remain logged in and don’t perform a reset. To nudge upgrades, Amazon is dangling a 20% discount on new Kindles, plus an ebook credit—the amount depends on the market. The incentives are available through June 20.

XChat Gets April 17 iPhone, iPad Date as X Revives Voice Notes and Privacy Questions Mount

X’s messaging app, XChat, is due for release on iPhone and iPad on April 17, per its App Store listing. This follows the recent return of voice notes within the service. With the launch, Elon Musk’s platform gets a standalone chat app, stepping further away from its core social feed. X's decision to spin off XChat as a standalone app steps up its rivalry with WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal, aligning with Musk’s wider push to remake X as a “super app.” This isn’t just a typical feature tweak; the move puts X’s ambitions on the line, challenging the company to prove it can carve out a dedicated product from private messaging.

Samsung Rollable Phone 2026 Buzz Is Back, but Galaxy Z Roll 5G Is Still Unconfirmed

Fresh online chatter from April 12 and April 13 has reignited talk that Samsung is prepping a rollable phone—most call it the Galaxy Z Roll 5G—featuring a 12.4-inch display that stretches out, plus a so-called "zero-crease" look, so no folding line shows up. That said, both articles are built on rumor-heavy guesses, not grounded in any Samsung announcement, official launch invite, or regulatory filing about a product coming to stores. Timing is key here. Huawei rolled out the Pura X Max in China on Monday. Apple’s debut foldable, though, sits in a swirl of rumors this month—Nikkei points out engineering hurdles, while Bloomberg insists a September launch is still in play. That’s ratcheting up the heat on Samsung to deliver

The group responsible for hacking Rockstar Games intends to release the pilfered data online, according to VGC, which referenced the hackers’ remarks to the BBC on Monday. Rockstar, for its part, maintains the hack disclosed only limited, non-material information, adding that players and operations were unaffected. This headache comes at an awkward time for Take-Two Interactive, headquartered in New York.

Hisense is taking on OLED head-to-head in the high-end TV segment, following a new UR9 RGB MiniLED review that highlights the set's notably bright, precise images and impressive color range. But the price tag matches OLED territory: the 65-inch UR9 rolls out in the U.S. at $3,499.99, with wider Best Buy availability slated for April 23, according to the company. This is significant: Hisense isn’t limiting RGB MiniLED to its largest, flashiest models anymore. According to recent reports from Australia and New Zealand, the tech is headed into the UR9 and UR8 ranges, with Australian prices starting at A$2,299 and first units expected in stores from late April.

Red Light Therapy Boom: What the Science Really Says as Masks, Mats and Beds Flood Beauty Market

Red-light therapy’s footprint in U.S. beauty and wellness keeps expanding, and Monday’s coverage highlights just how quickly devices like masks, caps, and panels have jumped from niche clinics to living rooms. Dermatologists and researchers aren’t dismissing the science, but they’re clear: the best evidence supports far fewer uses than marketers claim. The category’s popping up in retail recaps and neighborhood recovery studios alike. Last week, Axios Charlotte spotlighted a $49 session on a full-body LED bed at a local wellness spot. Product rundowns from Town & Country and NewBeauty have put masks, hats, and panels squarely in focus—prices hovering between $399 and $549, with the CurrentBody hair helmet clocking in at $860.

Oppo is set to debut the Pad Mini and Pad 5 Pro on April 21, 7 p.m. China time, bringing both a small Android tablet and a more premium flagship model to the stage at once. Company posts are framing the launch as a two-pronged flagship release. Chinese brands are shifting focus back to compact, premium tablets, moving away from the 11-inch and 13-inch segment that dominated in recent years. “Gaming tablets were a niche growth category, especially in Asia,” Omdia’s Himani Mukka noted.

Legal contract review tops the example use cases on Anthropic’s help page. This release takes Anthropic further into the highly competitive enterprise AI space, specifically legal services. Law firms, feeling the heat to keep up, are changing their tune.
