    Clearview AI may settle its lawsuit by giving money to every American whose face it scraped.

    According to the proposed settlement (via Reuters), Clearview would give away nearly a quarter of the company — either paying out 23 percent of its value, or 17 percent of its revenue. The NYT reports Clearview is only valued at $225 million, though, so I’d be surprised if I even see a quarter dollar from this one.

    London hospitals cancel over 800 operations in a single week after crippling ransomware attack.

    The NHS has now revealed the scope of the damage following the June 3rd cyberattack. In addition to the operations, over 800 outpatient appointments were canceled, and 18 organ transplants were diverted.

    “The cyber-attack has had a significant impact on our services, and this is likely to remain the case for some time yet,” say hospital execs.

    Microsoft’s testing some Windows tweaks — including fewer clicks for PC-to-Android filesharing.

    Phone Link already lets you share files from PC to certain Android phones — a new Windows Insider Preview now adds your phone directly to the Windows Share menu, too. Also, you can quickly summon jump lists by right-clicking an app pinned to the Start Menu. More here.

    Next, can I get phone mirroring without needing to unlock my Samsung, pretty please?

    “My Phone” can now appear in the share sheet.

    This amazing knockoff GBA SP comes stuffed with software piracy.

    I am so torn. The Anbernic RG35XXSP — which I’ve mentioned here before — is a beaut. I love handhelds, I love emulators, and I’ve got my own Game Boy cartridges and access to a GB Operator so I can (legally?) back ‘em up.

    On the other hand, Anbernic is shipping these with truckloads of pirated ROMs! Didn’t ask for those; I’d happily buy without.

    Bambu Lab has officially recalled 12,800 3D printers.

    Remember how the Bambu A1 had a worrying heatbed cable issue, and recalled and offered refunds for every printer to be safe? The US CPSC has just blessed that February recall, revealing “all of them” was around 13K printers in total. Bambu moved quick — in fact, the printer already went back on sale in late April with a revised cable.
