Intel is spinning off its Network and Edge group
In Brief Intel continues to streamline its business. The company plans to spin off its Network and Edge group, which is responsible for making chips for the telecom industry, as originally reported by CRN. Intel will be an anchor investor in the standalone business and will seek outside capital. Intel was rumored to be looking for a buyer for its Network and Edge group in May. This business produced $5.8 billion in revenue in 2024. This strategy seems similar to the company's decision to spin off RealSense, its former stereoscopic imaging technology business, earlier this month. Intel decided to spin RealSense out during former CEO Pat Gelsinger's tenure and the company struck out on its own with $50 million in venture funding. TechCrunch reached out for more information about its plans and timeline for the spinout.

AT&T to Pay Out Huge Data Breach Settlement, and You Might Be Eligible for Up to $5K
The 2024 hack of AT&T servers was one of the five biggest data breaches of the year. AT&T/CNET Two sizable data breaches in 2019 and 2024 exposed the personal information of AT&T customers, but now, the company is set to resolve the matter with a massive settlement pay out -- and you don't even have to still be a member to get in on it. On Friday, June 20, US District Judge Ada Brown granted preliminary approval to the terms of a proposed settlement from AT&T that would resolve two lawsuits related to the data breaches. The current settlement would see AT&T pay $177 million to customers adversely affected by at least one of the two data breaches. The settlement will prioritize larger payments to customers who suffered damages that are "fairly traceable" to the data leaks. It will also provide bigger payments to those affected by the larger of the two leaks, which began in 2019. While the company is working toward a settlement, it has continued to deny that it was "responsible for these criminal acts." For all the details we have about the settlement right now, keep reading, and for more info about other recent settlements, find out how to claim Apple's Siri privacy settlement and see if you're eligible for 23andMe's privacy breach settlement. What happened with these AT&T data breaches? AT&T confirmed the two data breaches last year, announcing an investigation into the first in March before confirming it in May and confirming the second in July. The first of the confirmed breaches began in 2019. The company revealed that about 7.6 million current and 65.4 million former account holders had their data exposed to hackers, including names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth. The company began investigating the situation last year after it reported that customer data had appeared on the dark web. The second breach began in April of 2024, when a hacker broke into AT&T cloud storage provider Snowflake and accessed 2022 call and text records for almost all of the company's US customers, about 109 million in all. The company stressed that no names were attached to the stolen data. Two individuals were arrested in connection with the breach. Both of these incidents sparked a wave of class action lawsuits alleging corporate neglect on the part of AT&T in failing to sufficiently protect its customers. Who is eligible to file a claim for the AT&T data breach settlement? As of now, we know that the settlement will pay out to any current or former AT&T customer whose data was accessed in one of these data breaches, with higher payments reserved for those who can provide documented proof that they suffered damages directly resulting from their data being stolen. If you're eligible, you should receive a notice about it, either by email or a physical letter in the mail, sometime in the coming months. The company expects that the claims process will begin on Aug. 4, 2025. How much will the AT&T data breach payments be? You'll have to "reasonably" prove damages caused by these data breaches to be eligible for the highest and most prioritized payouts. For the 2019 breach, those claimants can receive up to $5,000. For the Snowflake breach in 2024, the max payout will be $2,500. It's not clear at this time how the company might be handling customers who've been affected by both breaches. AT&T will focus on making those payments first, and whatever's left of the $177 million settlement total will be disbursed to anyone whose data was accessed, even without proof of damages. Because these payouts depend on how many people get the higher amounts first, we can't say definitively how much they will be. When could I get paid from the AT&T data breach settlement? AT&T expects that payments will start to go out sometime in early 2026. Exact dates aren't available but the recent court order approving the settlement lists a notification schedule of Aug. 4, to Oct. 17, 2025. The deadline for submitting a claim is currently set at Nov. 18, 2025. The final approval of the settlement needs to be given at a Dec. 3, 2025, court hearing for payments to begin.

Survey shows one Pixel 10 color is a clear fan favorite
Google's upcoming Pixel 10 colors haven't been officially announced yet, but we got a good look at the leaked renders above at the start of the week. Naturally, we wanted to know which one you're most excited about, so we ran polls across our site and YouTube to find out. Now, the results are in. If you missed the leak that kicked things off, the Pixel 10 is expected to launch in four colors: Obsidian, Indigo, Frost, and Limoncello. Obsidian is Google's classic black, while Indigo is deepish blue and arguably the most striking option. Frost offers a pale bluish hue with a subtle purple tinge, and Limoncello rounds out the list with a yellow-green shade unlike anything we've seen on recent Pixels. Notably, there's no Porcelain option this year, though you can still expect to see it on the Pixel 10 Pro. Which leaked Pixel 10 colorway do you like the most? The first pie chart below shows the results of the poll we ran on YouTube, and the second is almost the same poll we posted across parts of our site. The similarities and differences make interesting reading. The new Indigo colorway is the clear winner in both polls, landing around 32% of the votes on YouTube and 33% on Android Authority. The Obsidian and Frost colors were pretty neck-and-neck in both polls, suggesting a roughly equal but solid fanbase for the sleeker hues. The eye-catching Limoncello color received 18% and 21% of the votes in the YouTube and AA polls, respectively. As similar as these vote shares are, they placed it as the least popular option from the YouTube audience and the second-most popular on our site. It's hard to know how that can be interpreted — are our on-site audience bigger fans of the Italian liqueur from which the color takes its name? In any event, we can certainly agree that it's one of those shades that will always divide opinion. The blue is sending OG Pixel vibes and I love it. BenjaminJcqt on YouTube Digging into the comments sections under the polls gave us more insight into why you voted the way you did, and there's plenty of love for the Indigo color. DiamondMaster115 wrote, 'We might not have another Bay, but that Indigo color is really striking. I think that is going to be a standout color for this year's Pixels.' BenjaminJcqt agreed, stating, 'The blue is sending OG Pixel vibes and I love it.' Just to demonstrate the polarizing nature of Limoncello, the top-voted comment on the YouTube poll from 38josue91 was simply, 'Limoncello 😍😍,' and the one-emoji response from hooooman was '🤢.' We've just had some fresh leaks of the Pixel 10 colors drop this afternoon, but the big day itself will be August 20 when the devices are finally unveiled.
