Man in India gets Apple AirPods engraved with Micromax logo to prevent theft
Apple AirPods in India are considered premium and currently sell for 150$.
Thus, a 23-year-old guy in Delhi NCR bought his first AirPods with a fist bump emoji resembling the logo of Micromax (an Indian brand) engraved on the AirPods case to deter thieves.
“I used to live in NCR when I bought these AirPods. Many of my friends had their devices stolen there. I have even seen phones of bystanders being snatched by goons on a bike one time in broad daylight,”

Samsung Galaxy S25 Series to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 instead of Samsung Exynos 2500
Acc. to Analyst and famous Apple Leaker Ming-Chi Kuo, Qualcomm will likely be the sole SoC supplier for the Samsung Galaxy S25 series coming in 2025.
With the Galaxy S24 series, Snapdragon chips were used in 40% of the model wherein the Galaxy S24 Ultra was equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 irrespective of the region
Samsung Exynos 2500 or the Dream Chip may not be able to ship in the Galaxy S25 series due to low yield issues and very little time left now, approx just 6 months, to make the yields better
Thus to prevent a disaster like Exynos 2200, Samsung might delay the Dream chip release manufactured on its 3nm GAA architecture
Note: Take this news with a grain of salt because there are still very less chances that the yield might increase in this less time and Exynos 2500 would debut with the Galaxy S25 series only

The cobra, identified as a Spectacled Cobra—a highly venomous species native to Karnataka, India—was safely captured and released away from public areas.
Amazon refunded the full amount after apologizing to the couple.

Qualcomm agrees to pay $75 Million for settlement over sales and licensing practices
Qualcomm has agreed to pay $75 million to resolve a lawsuit in which shareholders accused Qualcomm of artificially inflating its share price between February 2012 and January 2017 by refusing to license standard essential patents to certain competitors and in some cases, it made buying its chips a requirement to get a deal.
In January 2017, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Apple also sued Qualcomm separately in connection with its alleged efforts to monopolize the market for baseband processors
Apple said Qualcomm used its monopoly position to overcharge for chips and seek onerous and costly terms for technology licenses.
Qualcomm largely won those battles, with the Apple lawsuits ending in settlements and regulators’ actions largely being overturned as Qualcomm’s stock price rose as a result.

Security bug allows anyone to spoof Microsoft employee emails
Vsevolod Kokorin, also known as Slonser, discovered a bug that allows spoofing of Microsoft corporate email accounts, making phishing attempts appear legitimate. The bug affects emails sent to Outlook accounts only, which is a pool of at least 400 million users.
After Microsoft initially dismissed his report, Kokorin shared his findings on X/Twitter, leading to widespread support and prompting Microsoft to acknowledge the issue and revisit some of his older email-related reports. This incident shows how Microsoft does not even care about security reports.

Google is cancelling subscription for those who used VPN workarounds for cheaper YouTube Premium
YouTube Premium Subscription is priced at different rates in different countries to better accommodate the purchasing power of the local currency and align with consumer expectations.
For example, in the US it costs 14$ per month while in India its 1.5$ per month
Thus, some users have used VPNs to buy YouTube Premium at cheaper rates, but it appears that Google is cracking down on such subscriptions and canceling them.
Several YouTube Premium subscribers have had their Premium membership randomly canceled.
However, the common thread between these cancelations is that the users used a VPN workaround to subscribe to Premium at a cheaper rate than what is available for their home market.
Redditors who have contacted customer service mention that their cancelation is because the user “moved” to a different location than the one they signed up from.
