To use the tool, systems need to be Microsoft Entra joined (Windows 10 or 11). Also, organizations interested in trying it need toand have an active Microsoft Intune test tenant plus Intune service administrator permissions.With the October end-of-support deadline looming, I think Microsoft clearly hopes this new tool helps ease the transition for businesses. But even with these improvements, it is unclear if that will be enough. As of April 2025, Windows 10 still holds a 52.9% share, while Windows 11 trails behind at 43.7%, even though the gap has been narrowing.

T-Mobile settlement checks now going out and they appear to exceed expectations
After months of waiting, T-Mobile is finally sending out payments to its users affected by the 2021 data breach. In February, it was reported that the settlement checks would start going out soon, with an update on the settlement website pegging April as the target month. The website later said that the payment was delayed until May. In 2021, a cyberattack exposed the personal information of 76 million T-Mobile customers in the US. T-Mobile agreed to pay $350 million to settle a claim against it by customers for not adequately protecting sensitive information. It looks like notice of payments are now being sent to T-Mobile users affected by the breach. Some users have received a Virtual Prepaid Mastercard while others have had direct deposits into their Zelle accounts. The mode of payment depends on the payment option you chose. —rruhrruh, Reddit user, May 2025 —Iluvorlando407, Reddit user, May 2025 —lerriuqS_terceS, Reddit user, May 2025 Some customers aren't sure if the emails about the payments are legitimate, but according to the settlement website, the distribution of payments has indeed started. The website notes that the payments will be sent out over the following several weeks. — T-Mobile settlement website Customers who spent money to mitigate the impact of the breach were promised up to $25,000, while others were told to expect $25, or $100 if they lived in California on August 1, not clear how much each user has received, but two user say they got $56.54, which is more than $25 promised. This might be because there were fewer claims than expected. Of course, $56.54 isn't a huge amount, but it's important to remember that the $350 settlement fund will also be used for other expenses such as paying attorney's fees and providing identity defense services. Besides, the settlement payments aren't necessarily so much about compensating customers for what they went through as they are about serving as a statement about holding huge corporations accountable for their inactions and oversights.

iPhone 17 to be an underwhelming upgrade
Vlad, 31 May 2025 A few hours ago a rumor claimed the iPhone 17 would grow its screen size to 6.3" (from 6.1" in the iPhone 16), matching the Pro model. With this rather significant upgrade in tow, you may have expected the phone to come with other substantial upgrades in other areas as well. But apparently not. According to a new research note by GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu, the iPhone 17 will be powered by the A18 chip, and will have 8GB of RAM. Those are not typos - that's the exact same chipset and RAM amount that its predecessor has. iPhone 16 So, in this regard, the iPhone 17 will just be an ever so slightly larger iPhone 16. This is despite the fact that all three other members of its family will get the A19 chip as well as 12GB of RAM. The iPhone 17 was at one point said to be considered for a memory upgrade, but that was apparently decided against after all. As for the chip staying the same as in the iPhone 16, that's a more baffling decision that clearly won't make it a best-seller. But maybe that's the point - Apple trying to nudge people towards the more expensive and more profitable Air, Pro, and Pro Max models.
