Good Evening!

Boeing paid a seven-figure safety fine back in January and just... never mentioned it.

Here are the 7 things you missed today:

1. 🍎 Apple is Facing a $2.7Bn U.K. Lawsuit Over Tracking Rules

Turns out Apple's privacy halo comes with an invoice. Thousands of app developers filed a £2 billion collective action Thursday at London's Competition Appeal Tribunal, accusing Apple of abusing its market position by imposing stricter tracking rules on outside developers than on its own services. That is roughly $2.7 billion, aimed squarely at the framework Apple has spent years marketing as a privacy win. (Quartz)

5. 🛵 Delivery Hero's Board Backed Uber's $15Bn Takeover Bid

Delivery Hero's board looked at $15 billion and decided the fight was over. Both the supervisory and management boards unanimously backed Uber's takeover, calling the price fair and adequate. Prosus is offloading its 17% stake, SSW Partners is buying 14 markets for $1.6 billion, and foodpanda goes to Grab for $600 million. Uber reportedly needs 50% plus one share. (TechCrunch)

6. 🎮 Microsoft is Capping Xbox Cloud Gaming at 15 Hours a Month

Microsoft has noticed you enjoy cloud gaming a little too much. Starting in November, Game Pass Ultimate subscribers get 15 hours of cloud streaming a month, Premium gets 10, and Essential gets 5, with extra hours sold in bundles that never expire. The company says running the service keeps getting pricier, and that roughly 4% of subscribers will feel it. (CNBC)

7. ✈️ Boeing Quietly Paid a $3.1M FAA Fine in January

Boeing paid a $3.1 million safety fine in January and somehow never got around to telling anyone. The penalty covered hundreds of quality violations between September 2023 and February 2024, including the Alaska Airlines door plug blowout and interference with safety officials. It stayed quiet until this week, when Senator Richard Blumenthal called it easily absorbed as the cost of doing business. (Quartz)
