The iPhone 18 Pro has been rated as repairable at 7 out of 10. iFixit has traditionally taken apart the new Apple smartphone for parts.

Key issues:
- The plastic frame under the display. In almost all cases, it cracked when the display was removed β€” simply applying fresh glue is not enough; a new frame needs to be installed.
- Variable aperture. This significantly increases repair costs: if the mechanism breaks, the entire module will need to be replaced.

Repairs are possible, but it's best not to break the camera.

Jev has "speedrun" Minecraft in collaboration with Astra: the next-generation model and OpenAI's flagship managed to defeat the Ender Dragon in just 8 minutes.

The neural networks were trained on the mistakes from previous attemptsβ€”Astra developed skills based on those errors. Jev was responsible for making instant decisions. This cost only $1 in tokens.

However, the AI has only succeeded in a pre-known world, which is commonly used by real speedrunners.

The code and settings for the models are available here.

We're creating our own radio station with an AI host: DeadAir selects the music, writes the transitions between tracks, and voices them.

It pulls tracks from Spotify or a local collection. You can customize the host's voice and personality, and the neural network can run locally. It's a real broadcastβ€”there's no "skip" button.

You can launch your own station via this link.

The first detailed insights about the iPhone 20 Pro have emerged: it will feature an even smaller notch and a "borderless" screen.

According to rumors, Apple is testing a quad-curved design, where all four edges of the screen are rounded. This creates a smooth effect, giving the impression that there are no borders at all.

The displays will also be larger: 6.41 inches for the Pro model and 6.96 inches for the Pro Max. In this year's new models, they measure 6.27 inches and 6.86 inches, respectively.

Are we excited?

Meme: Stanford invited students to participate in a university advertisement, and then... photoshopped them using AI.

The girl and guy in the center were made thinner, and the guy on the right even had his gender and race changed. The students themselves were a bit unhappy that the final version featured completely different people.

But now the entire internet is talking about them. Their moment of fame has finally arrived.
