Travelers sue CrowdStrike over outage-related flight cancellations
| Last month's global outage upended the operations of numerous businesses, including travel companies
| Three airline passengers whose flights were impacted by last month’s massive CrowdStrike outage have filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against the tech firm, PC Mag reported. The trio filed the lawsuit in a Texas district court, saying the disruption led their flights to be canceled or delayed, causing stress and forcing them to pay extra fees for meals and hotels. CrowdStrike said in a statement: "We believe this case lacks merit and we will vigorously defend the company."

| The sound is ‘easygoing, smooth, and fluid,’ but it’s the ‘clever and fun’ smart case that grabs the attention
| JBL’s Live Beam 3 earbuds have been out since June, and What Hi-Fi has just offered its thoughts on them in an in-depth review. Costing $200, the Live Beam 3 earbuds offer a “bucketload of features with a surprising amount of customization that we don’t even see in more premium models,” the review said. But what’s most intriguing is the smart display case, a feature that JBL introduced with last year’s flagship Tour Pro 2 buds. The smart case, which also takes care of charging, gives you quick access to the volume and playback controls, as well as different sound and active noise canceling (ANC) modes so you don’t have to mess around with the smartphone app ... | |
