An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Ryanair is trying to force users to download its mobile app by eliminating paper boarding passes, starting on November 12. As announced in February and subsequently delayed from earlier start dates, Europe's biggest airline is moving to digital-only boarding passes, meaning customers will no longer be able to print physical ones. In order to access their boarding passes, Ryanair flyers will have to download Ryanair's app. "Almost 100 percent of passengers have smartphones, and we want to move everybody onto that smartphone technology," Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary said recently on The Independent's daily travel podcast. Customers are encouraged to check in online via Ryanair's website or app before getting to the airport. People who don't check in online before getting to the airport will have to pay the airport a check-in fee. "There'll be some teething problems," O'Leary said of the move.

According to the Financial Times (paywalled), Meta's Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun, a deep-learning pioneer and Turing Award winner, is reportedly leaving the company to launch his own startup. Reuters reports: The owner of Facebook and Instagram has significantly increased its investments in artificial intelligence, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg reorganizing the company's AI initiatives under Superintelligence Labs. Zuckerberg hired Alexandr Wang, former CEO of data-labeling startup Scale AI to lead the new AI effort. As a result, LeCun, who had reported to chief product officer Chris Cox, is now reporting to Wang, the report said. The company began investing in AI in 2013 by launching Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR) unit and recruiting LeCun, who is a known skeptic of the large language model path to superintelligence. LeCun is also a Silver Professor of data science, computer science, neural science and electrical and computer engineering at New York University, according to his LinkedIn page. He is known for his work in deep learning and the invention of the convolutional neural network, which is widely used for image, video and speech recognition.

New submitter UsRanger175 shares a report from Space.com: The sun erupted in spectacular fashion this morning (Nov. 11), unleashing a major X5.1-class solar flare, the strongest of 2025 so far and the most intense since October 2024. The eruption peaked at 5 a.m. EST (1000 GMT) from sunspot AR4274, which has been bursting with activity in recent days. The blast triggered strong (R3-level) radio blackouts across Africa and Europe, disrupting high-frequency radio communications on the sunlit side of Earth. This outburst is the latest in a series of intense flares from AR4274, which also produced an X1.7 flare on Nov. 9 and an X1.2 on Nov. 10. Those flares were accompanied by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that could combine and impact Earth overnight tonight, possibly triggering strong (G3) geomagnetic storm conditions and widespread auroras, according to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. The CME released today could also join the party as it speeds toward Earth at 4.4 million mph. NOAA predicts the CME could impact Earth around midday on Nov. 12. With this third CME added to the mix, it's possible that we could experience severe (G4) geomagnetic storm conditions.

E*Trade (Morgan Stanley Private Bank) is running promotions for new customers on both their savings and checking accounts:

• Premium Savings up to $1,000 deposit bonus + 3.75% APY
• Max-Rate Checking $300 bonus + up to 2.00% APY

Savings promo details.

• Offer is valid for new E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley clients who open a Premium Savings Account by 2/28/2026 with a deposit of $25,000+ of qualifying new money within the first 30 days after account opening. See tiers below. Use promo code SAVE100.
• Maintain an average daily balance in your enrolled Premium Savings Account that meets the Minimum Maintenance Balance of your Deposit Tier. The average daily balance calculation will begin from Day thirty (30) of account opening and will end forty-five (45) days following (“Maintenance Period”).
• After the requirements are satisfied, E*TRADE will deposit the bonus within thirty (30) days following the end of the Maintenance Period.

If your deposit meets the minimum of a tier exactly ($25k, $50k, $75k, $100k) then it works out to a 1% bonus ($250 on $25k, etc). If let’s say you hold for 60 days for some wiggle room, that works out to a 6% bonus on an annualized basis. Add on the current 3.75% APY on the Premium Savings account for a total of 9.75% APY. Not bad.

Checking promo details.

• Open one new Checking or Max-Rate Checking Account from Morgan Stanley Private Bank by the end of the offer period (currently 12/31/25). You must apply promo code CHECKING25 at the time of account opening. No minimum initial deposit is required to open an account. However, account must be funded within 30 days to remain open. You are not eligible if you have or had owned or co-owned (joint) a Checking or Max-Rate Checking Account within the last 12 months from when you enroll in this offer.
• Set up and receive at least two Direct Deposits each of $1,500 or more to your Checking or Max-Rate Checking Account within 90 days from account opening.
• Your bonus should arrive around 120 days from account opening.

As of 11/10/2025, Max-Rate Checking Account pays 2.00% APY. You must maintain a $5,000 average monthly balance, otherwise there is a $15 monthly fee. The basic Checking Account only pays 0.05% APY (basically nothing), but has no minimum balance.
