Apple and the Issue of Interoperability
The article discusses the concept of interoperability in technology, highlighting how companies like Apple, HP, and Sony limit compatibility with third-party products. Apple is criticized for its proprietary cables and accessories, which often change with new models, forcing consumers to purchase new ones. The article also touches on software restrictions, such as Apple's warning for pairing non-genuine AirPods and HP's printer cartridge chip that locks out third-party or refilled cartridges. Sony's PlayStation is mentioned for not being backward compatible with older game titles. The piece suggests that while hardware interoperability can be circumvented by third-party manufacturers, software restrictions present a more significant challenge.

PS5 Revision Has Smaller Heatsink and Fan, Possibly Higher Temps
Sony's PlayStation 5 has undergone a quiet hardware revision, featuring a smaller heatsink and fan compared to the original model. YouTuber Austin Evans highlighted these changes, noting that the new model lacks the copper cold plate and has fewer fins. Initial observations suggest the new revision outputs higher exhaust temperatures by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius. Sony, which has been selling the PS5 at a loss, announced profitability with the new model, possibly due to these cost-cutting measures. Further testing is needed to determine the full impact on the console's performance.
