After launching its end-to-end encrypted cloud storage service on Windows in July, Proton has announced that it’s bringing it to macOS as well.
That means you can access all your stored files and photos from the macOS app, and it will sync across the Proton Drive apps for the web, Windows, Android, and iOS. Proton Drive is free for 1GB of data, with plans starting at $4.99 / month for 200GB.

In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Genesis alleges Gemini, a crypto exchange owned by the Winklevoss twins, made “significant withdrawals” before Genesis filed for bankruptcy, contributing to a “run on the bank.”
This comes after Gemini sued Genesis owner Digital Currency Group (DCG) in July, claiming it engaged in fraud through the high-yield Earn program they partnered on. When not waging legal battles against each other, Gemini, Genesis, and DCG must deal with the lawsuit New York’s Attorney General filed against all three of them.
Lenovo’s USB-C Laptop Power Bank (model PBLG2W) just got recalled because it may catch fire. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission says the power bank’s “internal screws can come loose, causing a short circuit and overheating of the lithium-ion battery, posing a fire hazard.”
About 2,850 units are affected by the recall. If you have this power bank, you can contact Lenovo to get a free replacement.
That’s according to The New York Times, which claims filmmaker Carl Erik Rinsch pocketed the millions of dollars Netflix transferred him for the production of a sci-fi series that we’ll probably never see:
Netflix wired Mr. Rinsch’s production company $11 million, bringing its total outlay to more than $55 million... Mr. Rinsch transferred $10.5 million of the $11 million to his personal brokerage account at Charles Schwab and, using options, placed risky bets on the stock market.
Rinsch and Netflix are “now locked in a confidential arbitration proceeding,” the NYT reports. He reportedly claims Netflix owes him “at least $14 million in damages.”

The game’s developer, Colossal Order, announced it’s pushing back the launch of DLC to focus on improving the game’s performance on PC. Shortly after the game’s launch last month, users complained about numerous performance issues with the city-building simulator (which may have something to do with its hyper-detailed characters walking around town).
In addition to pushing back DLC, the release date for Cities: Skylines II on console has been delayed as well while developers work to optimize the game.
