Be careful with your iPhone! Repairing it just got more expensive
|
Apple has yet to explain why it's made the reported change |
Apple is no longer covering “single hairline cracks” under the standard warranty for the iPhone and Apple Watch, according to a 9to5Mac report citing multiple sources with knowledge of the matter. It means the repairs are now considered to be “accidental damage,” so owners will have to pay to get it fixed. The report said that until now, Apple covered instances of “single hairline crack damage under the standard warranty for iPhone and Apple Watch users, so long as there was no visible other damage or a clear point of impact on the device that caused that crack.” It also notes that Apple appears to still be covering single hairline crack repairs under warranty for the iPad and Mac ... |

Spacewar is back! Rebuilding the world’s first gaming computer |
The effort and dedication that's gone into creating the PiDP-10 is mind-blowing |
“On my desk right now, sitting beside my ultra-modern gaming PC, there is a strange device resembling the spaceship control panel from a 1970s sci-fi movie. It has no keyboard, no monitor, just several neat lines of colored switches below a cascade of flashing light.” And so begins a fascinating report by the Guardian into how an enthusiastic team of tech nostalgia enthusiasts built a replica of the PDP-10 mainframe computer launched by the Digital Equipment Corporation more than 50 years ago. The PiDP-10 is a 2:3 scale replica of the PDP-10, the operator panel of which is pictured above. It was on PDP computers that a group of friends designed the shoot-’em-up, Spacewar!, described as “one of the first-ever video games to run on a computer” ... |
