Meta has agreed to pay President Donald Trump $25 million to settle a 2021 lawsuit stemming from the social network's decision to suspend Trump's Facebook account following the riots at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
According to The Wall Street Journal, there had been "little activity" surrounding the lawsuit until Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg flew to Mar-a-Lago following the election. "Toward the end of the November dinner, Trump raised the matter of the lawsuit," The Journal reports. "The president signaled that the litigation had to be resolved before Zuckerberg could be ‘brought into the tent.'" Much of the settlement will reportedly go toward funding Trump's presidential library.
Settling the lawsuit is the latest step Zuckerberg and Meta have taken to appease Trump, who at one point during the campaign threatened to imprison the Facebook founder for "plotting" against him. Following the election, Zuckerberg ended Meta's longtime

The company reportedly snuck the update into this week's iOS 18.3 release
|
|
The latest update Apple rolled out for the iPhone allows T-Mobile customers — a select few, for now — to be able to send text messages even in locations where they have no coverage. iOS 18.3 adds support for SpaceX and T-Mobile's direct-to-cell satellite service, which is currently being trialed after the companies opened signups for beta testing in December. As Bloomberg notes, the service used to be only compatible with certain Android phones, including Samsung models like the Z Fold and S24 along with select devices running Android 15. Meanwhile, Apple already has a partnership with Globalstar that provides users with texting capabilities when they're out of coverage.
Users who've signed up to participate in the fledgling service's beta trials have reportedly started receiving texts. "You can now stay connected with texting via satellite from virtually anywhere," the message reads, according to Bloomberg. And for iPhone users, it asks them to "update to iOS 18.3" to "start experiencing coverage beyond." Once they do download the update, they'll see a toggle in their cellular data settings to activate the capability.
At the moment, the direct-to-cell service only offers text messaging. If a beta tester finds themselves in rural areas and other locations that typically don't have coverage, they'll be able to use Starlink's satellite network to send a text. In the future, the plan is to add voice and d

Sony just revealed some new games available for PlayStation Plus subscribers in February. The lineup isn't particularly exciting, but does include some solid entries like Payday 3 and High on Life.
The company also made an announcement that could impact current PS4 owners, saying that "PS4 games will no longer be a key benefit and will only be occasionally offered" starting in 2026. This is something of a bummer, but understandable given that the PS4 came out in 2013. Heck, even the PS5 is approaching its fifth birthday.
This won't impact titles that have already been downloaded, as subscribers will "continue to have access to games" as long as they remain a PS Plus member. Sony says it may "still provide titles that can be playable on both PS4 and PS5 consoles" after next year.
Now onto the games. Payday 3, available for PS5 only, is a great entry in the co-op bank-robbing franchise. This is a four-player title that's set several years after the events of Payday 2. Players get to rob banks and even take hostages. It's a good and bloody time.

No Man's Sky is back with Worlds Part II, expanding the universe in new ways as only games can. Hello Games, the studio behind No Man's Sky, has announced the release of its newest iteration and the billions of stars and trillions of planets added to its universe.
In a statement about the release, Sean Murphy, founder of Hello Games, explained, "This allows us to push the boundaries of our engine and technology without changing the things people love about the game already. If you settled on your home planet with a beautiful base that you lovingly crafted, that is safe — but now there are new worlds to explore with a level of variety no one has seen before."
This shift includes the addition of Gas Giants, which Hello Games claims are up to 10 times bigger than any planets previously included in the game. The developers have also improved things under the sea, with better fishing and deep sea diving. Plus, the lighting should be better, with more detailed shadows, sharper sunlight and, of course, those shining starry skies.
Hello Games also says Worlds Part II offers quests that connect existing storylines and mysteries. A lot of this development comes from work on Hello Game's new fantasy game Light No Fire.

China's DeepSeek AI has already caught the eye of a data protection watchdog, shortly after it went viral and became the top-rated free app on Apple's App Store in the US and other regions. As TechCrunch reports, Garante, or the Italian Data Protection Authority, has written DeepSeek to ask for information about the AI chatbot due to the "possible risk for the data of millions of people in Italy." The watchdog is in charge of monitoring the application of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules in the country.
In an announcement about the information request on its website, Garante said it contacted both the Hangzhou and the Beijing DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence offices to ask them what kind of personal data the AI chatbot collects. It also asked them to clarify their purposes for the data they collect and whether the information they gather is stored on servers physically located in China. In its privacy policy, DeepSeek admitted that it transfers personal information of the country where the user lives and that it keeps them "in secure servers located in the People's Republic of China." However, it said that the service will "do so in accordance with the requirements of applicable data protection laws."
In addition, Garante is asking DeepSeek what type of information is used to train its AI system. And, in case web scraping is involved, it want

NASA and its partners have published the first wave of information about the samples collected in the OSIRIS-REx mission. "The findings do not show evidence for life itself, but they do suggest the conditions necessary for the emergence of life were widespread across the early solar system, increasing the odds life could have formed on other planets and moons," NASA said in a press release.
The OSIRIS-REx mission used some pretty fascinating tech to autonomously acquire rocks and dust from an asteroid called Bennu. Asteroids can act as time capsules, and Bennu reflects what was happening in the solar system roughly 4.5 billion years ago. After a total journey of 3.9 billion miles, the capsule returned safely to Earth on September 24, 2023.

One thing that isn't changing for Apple's MLS Season Pass in 2025 is the price, although there will be some special offers for Comcast's Xfinity, DirecTV, and T-Mobile subscribers.
The latest MLS season is set to get underway on February 22, with select preseason matches being streamed via MLS Season Pass starting February 11.
Just like last year, the 2025 edition of Apple's MLS Season Pass costs $14.99 a month, or $99 for the full season. Apple TV subscribers can sign up for MLS Season Pass at a discounted rate of $12.99 a month, or $79 for the season.
Besides watching matches on the Apple TV app, you'll also be able to watch games on the Apple Vision Pro headset, with video available to stream either within your physical space or within a Vision Pro "Environment," complete with a virtual screen that feels up to 100 feet wide.
New for 2025 on MLS Season Pass is Sunday Night Soccer, a weekly marquee matchup that will boast an "enhanced" production and "dedicated" studio programming, Apple says, along with pre- and post-game shows.
The first Sunday Night Soccer showing will feature San Diego FC, the newest MLS club, taking on the MLS Cup champions LA Galaxy on February 23 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.
Sunday Night Soccer matches will offer English-language commentary from Jake Zivin, Taylor Twellman, and Andrew Wiebe, while the Spanish broadcast will be helmed by Sammy Sadovnik and Diego Valeri.

According to a PlayStation blog post (spotted by The Verge), PSN account logins are now optional for the studio's biggest single-player PC games, including Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part II, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. You'll be able to purchase, download, and play these games from stores like Steam without needing any connection to an existing Sony account.
If you do choose to log in with a PSN account, you'll get some extra goodies. Examples given in the post include exclusive costumes and in-game items, or early access to these items if they're otherwise unlocked through progressing in the game. Sony's using a carrot, not a stick to incentivize players to engage with its proprietary platforms on PC.
It's worth pointing out that Sony has made this announcement for only four specific games, all of which are single player. It seems likely that Sony will insist upon connecting to the PlayStation Network for upcoming multiplayer releases. LEGO Horizon Adventures, the publis
