SpaceX has announced that its satellite internet service now has a million active subscribers. That’s a lot of people getting their internet from space.
It makes sense that the company hit the milestone this year — in the past 12 months it’s expanded its Starlink offerings, adding options for people with businesses, boats, planes, and RVs. All the extra subscribers do come at a cost though; the company recently announced that it’s adding data caps.

The Communications Workers of America accused Apple of breaking labor laws at a store in Columbus, Ohio, saying the tech giant held mandatory anti-union meetings and tried to shift organizing activities to a labor group it had control over. You can read the full complaint below.
The union has filed several charges against Apple for its actions at different retail locations — and the National Labor Relations Board has found merit to a few of them.
Tapbots, the company best known for its third-party Twitter client Tweetbot, plans to work on features for its (currently in early alpha) Mastodon client first and then push “relevant” ones over to Tweetbot, per co-owner Mark Jardine.
