After Apple confirmed that it slows down older iPhone models, there have been at least eight lawsuits filed against the company. One, however, is asking for a ludicrous $999 billion.

After Apple admitted to slowing down iPhone CPUs earlier this month, as many as eight class action lawsuits claiming that the company has robbed plaintiffs of the functionality and value of their devices have been filed. However, according to a report by Christian Zibreg for iDownloadBlog, one is seeking a payout a bit larger than the rest — $999 billion, to be exact.

The lawsuit, filed by Violetta Mailyan in the Central District of California, alleges the following:

Each member of the Class had to buy a newer iPhone model because the performance of their older iPhone model had slowed down as a result of Defendant’s purposeful conduct. Each member of Class was denied the use, utility and value of the older iPhone model because of the slowdown of performance.

The filed complaint goes o…

You can’t go wrong with the 850 EVO.

The Samsung 850 EVO 250GB internal solid state drive is down to $84.99. That’s $5 above its lowest price ever.

You can upgrade to the 500GB version for $140. It has been that low for a few weeks now, but it’s still one of the best prices ever and solid value.

The 850 EVO is well-reviewed with a lot of positive results. Windows Central called it the Best Overall SSD for Windows PCs. CNET gave it 4.5 stars. The Wirecutter still considers it to be the best SSD for its balance of performance and price. AnandTech has one of the most thorough reviews of this SSD on the Internet and called it ”yet another showcase of Samsung’s engineering talent.”

Because Samsung designs SSDs with home-grown engineering, it’s also built for the long-term with twice the endurance of the competition. It’s capable of handling much heavier workloads, and Samsung backs all that up with a five-year warranty.

If you need help installing a new SSD, Windows Central has some …

Wirelessly charge your iPhone with Seneo’s Charging Stand.

Amazon has the Seneo Wireless Charging Pad Stand on sale for just $14.84 when you enter promo code GTHTOYXZ at checkout. This deal saves you over $5 off this item’s average price.

This wireless charger works with most QI-enabled devices including the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. While most wireless charging pads keep your phone laying down flat which can be inconvenient to use at the same time, this one keeps your phone standing at an angle so you can still answer calls, send texts or surf the web while it’s charging.

A lifetime warranty is included with this product, along with a micro USB cable. However, it does not come with an AC adapter, though you can pick this item up with one for $23.99 when you use code 6VL8KILQ at checkout. $9 for a Quick Charge 3.0 wall adapter is a pretty good deal when you look at the prices of other similar products on Amazon.

This item has 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon with over 2,0…

Are you interested in encrypting your data? We explain Apple’s FIleVault!

If you’ve heard about data encryption, you may have wondered if encryption is something that you’d want to implement for your own data and computers. You might be on the fence on whether you should or shouldn’t encrypt your data in this post-Snowden age. Or, you might be a health or business professional wanting to safely store client information. What ever your reason, Apple provides data encryption on macOS and Apple calls it FileVault. We’re here to help you see if data encryption and FileVault is right for you.

What is data encryption

It can be in the form of a key, long passcode, portable RFID chip or a combination.

If your iPhone, iPad, or Mac won’t show up for AirDrop, here are some fixes you can try!

AirDrop lets you wirelessly beam almost anything from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to any other recent Apple device.

Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to bring up Control Center.
Tap AirDrop.
Tap Everyone to switch to the simplest possible transfer method.
Tap Off then repeat the process and tap On again to toggle it.
