Microsoft Defender’s VPN feature will be killed off at the end of February
Microsoft is getting rid of the VPN offered through Microsoft Defender. As spotted by Windows Latest, the company updated its support pages for privacy protection, its built-in VPN, to notify users that the service will end on February 28. The VPN was bundled with Microsoft Defender, which is available to anyone with a personal or family Microsoft 365 subscription, and it offered private browsing by “routing your internet traffic through Microsoft servers,” up to the monthly data limit of 50GB.
In a statement about the decision posted on the support page, Microsoft said, “Our goal is to ensure you, and your family remain safer online. We routinely evaluate the usage and effectiveness of our features. As such, we are removing the privacy protection feature and will invest in new areas that will better align to customer needs.” Android users might still see the Microsoft Defender VPN profile in their settings after the expiration date, which they’ll need to remove manually if they

Apple One is great, but it’s missing something important
Apple introduced Apple One in 2020, providing an easy way for avid Apple users to subscribe to multiple services at once, and get a nice bundle discount for doing so. It offers three tiers, and its remained that way since it launched. However, I think Apple would benefit greatly from offering a fourth tier, capturing a key demographic.

Apple has agreed to pay $20 million to settle a class action lawsuit over Apple Watch battery swelling
Owners of some early Apple Watch models may be eligible for payment from a $20 million class action settlement. Apple recently agreed to settle a lawsuit that claimed some first generation, Series 1, Series 2, and Series 3 Apple Watches had battery swelling issues that could have caused damage to the devices. The company has denied any wrongdoing and in a statement to TechCrunch said it “strongly” disagrees with the claims made in the lawsuit, but nonetheless “agreed to settle to avoid further litigation.” The exact amount of the payments will depend on how many claimants ultimately end up being involved, but it’s expected to be between $20 to $50 per eligible device.
There’s a full breakdown of eligibility and deadlines on the website for the class action lawsuit, but the main thing to know is that in order to receive payment, you must have reported the issue to Apple in the US between April 24, 2015, and February 6, 2024. “Settlement Class Members will receive a pay

Hands on: GAMEBABY Case transforms your iPhone into a retro console with physical buttons
I was someone who grew up with a Gameboy Color in my hands. I would play games like Pokemon, Ray-Man, and Super Mario until my fingers cramped. So, last year, when Apple opened the gates and allowed emulator apps like Delta into the App Store, I was all over it. It was awesome playing my old games on my iPhone. Although the app does a great job with haptic feed to mimic physical buttons, there is really nothing like the real thing. So when I saw the GAMEBABY at CES this year, I knew I had to get my hands on it.

Entlarvt: Diese unsichtbare TV-Funktion frisst die Bildqualität - und jede Menge Energie
Keine Frage: Energiesparen ist sinnvoll. Stromsparfunktionen, die Hersteller mit der Brechstange implementieren (müssen), hingegen nicht. Zu den fragwürdigen Maßnahmen zählen die voreingestellten Eco-Funktionen vieler moderner Fernseher, die einen derart negativen Einfluss auf die Bildqualität haben, dass man sie geradewegs deaktivieren sollte. Wir klären über die Hintergründe auf und nennen Messwerte aus dem CHIP-Testcenter.

iPhone-Nutzer in der Zwickmühle: Kündigen oder ignorieren
Wir Verbraucher treffen jeden Tag bewusst oder unbewusst Entscheidungen und lassen uns dabei nicht selten auch von unserem moralischen Kompass leiten. Was aber, wenn die Sachlage droht, kompliziert zu werden? In einer solchen Zwickmühle sitzen aktuell Nutzerinnen und Nutzer eines iPhones. Apple und T-Online tun sich in den USA nämlich mit einer Firma zusammen, deren Chef die Welt gerade in Atem hält – und dabei seinen moralischen Kompass längst verloren hat.
