Quietly Changed

Slack just put a number on its AI. Business+ ($15/user/mo): Slackbot is now capped at 15 messages per user per week. That's 3 a workday. Unlimited Slackbot? That's Enterprise+, which now shows a $45/user/mo list price.

Anthropic just cut the price of its top model. Fable 5.2 is now on the pricing page at $40 per million output tokens, down from $50 for Fable 5.1. Prompt caching is 20% cheaper too ($0.20 read, $10 write). Fable 5.1 stays listed at the old rates.

Booking.com's price match changes on Dec 10. Today: "we promise to refund the difference." New US terms: "we promise you Wallet Credits for the difference." They can still lower your reservation price if possible. Otherwise you get wallet credits after the stay, not a refund.

Starlink is emailing US customers: your home internet bill goes up 10–20% in 30 days because "more people in your area use Starlink." Residential Max: $130 → $143 or $156. The catch: downgrading won't dodge it. The email says every Residential plan in your area goes up.

Wells Fargo's Nov 24 online agreement adds a brand-new AI Agent section. An "AI Agent" includes tools that take "non-autonomous" action — not just chatbots. Whatever it does in your account is treated as authorized by you. To revoke one, keep proof and tell the bank. Until then, you're still on the hook.

New FCC rule, Nov 25: companies that robocall or text you can pick the ONLY way you're allowed to opt out. Reply "please stop texting me"? If they chose STOP, they can ignore it. And STOP on one alert type no longer stops the rest.

Pinterest's new terms start Nov 12, and its arbitration clause gets a new exit: a 30-day opt-out, by email to litigation@pinterest.com. Otherwise you're bound to JAMS arbitration, and 25+ similar claims go to one arbitrator. Not in the EEA, Switzerland or UK.

Today is the last day to accept Oura's new Terms of Use. After Nov 4, "you can't use the Oura App until you accept." The terms add a jury-trial waiver, a 30-day pre-dispute notice and arbitration batches of 20 for mass claims, with no opt-out. Eight Sleep and WHOOP give 30 days.

Stripe's new privacy policy (effective Nov 20) says it may use "AI-powered voice agents" to call you, and train its AI on the recordings. It also lists what your card's bank gets at checkout: IP, email, phone, shipping address.

Disney+ has raised its price 5 times since 2022. Apple TV, Peacock and Hulu: 4 each. Netflix, Spotify, HBO Max and Paramount+: 3. Disney+ went from $7.99 to $21.49. Apple TV from $4.99 to $14.99.

Calm's Oct 13 privacy policy, on feelings you share in messages: Before: "we do not infer any health-related characteristics" Now: "we may infer health-related characteristics" New terms: AI features for your "emotions, well-being, stress levels."

Due on your accounts soon: • Today: Rocket Money bill negotiation goes Premium+ only • Nov 4: Oura's app locks until you accept new terms • Nov 12: Pinterest terms start; 30 days to opt out of arbitration • Nov 18: Robinhood auto-enrolls you in class actions and takes a fee

Toyota's US privacy notice (Oct 28) adds a new use for your data: "training large language models." Its connected-car notice now says it too, for data including location, driving and voice recordings. Also new: Acxiom tracking you across devices.

Prime's price is up 76% since launch. What Amazon promises in writing when it's late didn't grow with it. 2005: $79 2014: $99 2018: $119 2022: $139 ($14.99/mo) The guarantee still refunds "shipping fees," usually $0 on Prime. Any credit beyond that is goodwill.
