Casino-like apps have drained people of millions
Summary: Casino-like apps, such as Jackpot Magic and Big Fish Casino, have drained millions of dollars from users, with little oversight to ensure fairness or prevent predatory business practices. NBC News interviewed 21 people who claimed to be addicted to these apps and had spent significant amounts of money. A recent $155 million class-action settlement will cover two major lawsuits filed against Big Fish Games, Churchill Downs, and Aristocrat Leisure, alleging they operated "unlawful gambling devices."

Scary Hasty
Summary: Apple's new M3 chip range was launched in haste, causing issues that needed fixing in macOS updates. The company released three M3 variants simultaneously, which led to problems with macOS updates for the new M3 MacBook Pro and iMac models. Apple also had to address a severe bug causing black screens during updates on recent MacBook Pro models. The macOS 13.6.2 and Sonoma 14.1.1 updates rectify these issues, but Apple has been criticized for its lack of documentation and transparency regarding the updates.
