Apple Designed Pencils to Not Work Correctly with Third-Party Replacement iPad Screens

As seen in a video from iCorrect, Apple designed their pencils to not work correctly with third-party replacement iPad screens. This is not the first time Apple has done this; it's become a pattern for the company when it comes to making repairs more difficult.

A Chip Must Be Detected by the Pencil or It Won't Be Able to Draw Straight Lines

Apple has added a chip to their newer iPads that must be detected by the pencil or it won't be able to draw straight lines. This might be an attempt at being an ally, but it's also a clear example of Apple's tendency to make repairs more difficult.

Serialization: A Practice Used by Apple to Make Repairs More Difficult

This practice is called serialization, and it's not to be confused with serialization with a C, which refers to the phenomenon of non-cereal breakfast foods slowly evolving into more cereal-like forms. Serialization in this context simply means that Apple is adding software locks to hardware to make repairs more difficult.

Xbox Suspends Users Who Use Emulators on Xbox Series Consoles in Retail Mode

Nobox has reportedly started suspending users who use emulators on Xbox series consoles in retail mode and even banning players who upload retail mode emulators to the Xbox store. This comes just two weeks after a group found a way to re-enable emulation on Xbox without switching over to developer mode, which costs a one-time fee of $20 and doesn't play retail games while active.

The Group That Found a Way to Re-Enable Emulation on Xbox

Sounds like now that group is shutting down. Microsoft's store policy prohibits emulation, but it seems like that's a stupid policy because who wants to follow rules? Apple Gears Up to Launch Developer Kits for the Vision Pro

We've gotten a good look at what it takes to get one of these developer kits for the Vision Pro. First off, you must use an app to measure your head and give your prescription for the lenses, and then have a net worth of at least $1 million dollars. Yeah, basically. But once you have the device, it's much simpler.

You Must Use It Exclusively in a Secured Space

All you got to do is use it exclusively in a secured space, keep it a secret from your loved ones, keep it on your person or an eye shot while in use, and lock it in a Pelican case when not in use. And if you get Apple's written consent to move it, wow.

Tesla Exaggerated Their Car Battery Ranges for the Last Decade

Reuters reported that Tesla has been exaggerating their car battery ranges for the last decade with real-world ranges falling short of the advertised range by an average of 26%. This false advertising was a company-wide policy that came directly down from Elon Musk. The car's algorithms were programmed to give overly optimistic projections until they dropped below the 50 Mark at which point they would reflect a far more realistic distance.

A Secret Team Suppressed Complaints

Tesla created an entire secret team dedicated to suppressing the huge wave of complaints it was getting. It's like the A-Team but for terrible customer service. And do you think there are too many streaming services? Well, NASA doesn't because they just announced NASA Plus.

NASA Plus: A Free and Ad-Free Streaming Service

It even has a trailer that tells you next to nothing but it looks pretty cool beautiful visuals. It's basically now terminal; it's like space, they elaborate on their site that the service will not just be free but also ad-free and it will give you access to their award-winning live streams and even original series.

Newton's Gravity: A Space Drama

And there's also a show called Newton's gravity, a space drama. I don't know what that's about, but it sounds exciting.
