Developers are arguing that Apple’s App Store ratings are fundamentally broken in at least a couple of different ways – including the fact that your 4-star rating could do more harm than good.

Apple says it faces world’s largest antitrust fine as India’s regulator hardens stance
Apple has said that it could potentially be fined a massive $38 billion in an antitrust battle taking place in India after it refused to cooperate with the regulator. Yep, that’s billion with a B.
The iPhone maker has persistently refused to submit financial data required by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) after being found guilty of abusing its dominant position in the smartphone market …

Samsung just announced sweeping official price hikes across its current-generation Galaxy Tab lineup. As of right now, Amazon is still offering many of them at the pre-price hike rate and several are even discounted from there starting at $210: Galaxy Tab A11+, Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, and the Tab S11 – now might be a good time to score one before the deal price ends up just being what was the original price.

Read MoreTesla’s ‘Robotaxi’ expansion looks like another stock pump before earnings
Tesla launched its “Robotaxi” service in Dallas and Houston yesterday — expanding to two new cities for the first time since Austin. There’s just one problem: there are virtually no cars available.
Data from Robotaxi Tracker shows that Tesla’s new Houston and Dallas deployments have had 0% to 2% availability over the past 24 hours, with only brief spikes to around 50% during a narrow morning window before dropping back to zero. It looks like Tesla deployed a car or two in each city and called it a launch.

Read MoreTesla owner uses emergency solar to trickle charge after running out of battery in desert
A YouTuber driving a Tesla Model X the entire length of the Americas ran out of battery in Chile’s Atacama Desert — the driest place on Earth — and had to deploy emergency solar panels on the side of the highway to survive.
The whole ordeal, captured on video, is a fascinating look at both the promise and the very real challenges of long-distance EV travel in regions where charging infrastructure remains sparse.
Read MoreTesla launches ‘Robotaxi’ in Houston and Dallas with tiny geofences
Tesla announced today that its “Robotaxi” service is now rolling out in Dallas and Houston, marking the company’s first expansion beyond Austin and San Francisco. The company shared maps of the two new service areas, which appear to cover small slices of each city.
The Houston geofence covers approximately 25 square miles, according to early user analysis of the maps, while the Dallas zone appears to center around the Highland Park area. For context, Tesla’s Austin geofence has grown to roughly 245 square miles after months of gradual expansion — but that took nearly a year to reach from an initial 20-square-mile footprint.

A YouTuber bought a completely stripped-down Tesla Model 3 for just $2,000 — no body panels, no windshield, no seatbelts — and took it off-roading, drifting, and even jumping it. The wildest part? It still showed 212 miles of range on a full charge.
The video, posted by Remmy Evans, is a testament to both the durability of Tesla’s drivetrain and the questionable decision-making that makes YouTube entertaining.

It’s an almost comically tone-deaf response that perfectly encapsulates Tesla’s approach to the HW3 problem — and it’s only going to fuel the growing legal pressure in Europe.

macOS is polished right up until it refuses to do something that feels like it should take one click. Hide or show hidden files? Annoying. Force-delete something that won’t budge? Also annoying. Merge PDFs, batch-convert images, clear out oversized caches, or restart Finder without digging around? Same story. MacMagic is down to $25.50 with code SAVE15 (reg. $99.99), and it’ll help put a lot of those little Mac headaches in one place.
