If your iPhone Duo's inner screen cracks or shows a line and you didn't damage it, contact AppleCare: Apple says it knows of an issue on a small number of units and is offering replacements, and 9to5Mac reports you don't need AppleCare+ for it. In the US, accidental damage to the inner screen costs $999, or $99 with AppleCare+. What to do, returns, and the screen fees.
I bought a night sky iPhone Duo with 1TB on launch day, coming from an iPhone 17 Pro Max. The hinge has been smooth, the cameras are a step back, apps are uneven, and I haven't been this excited about an iPhone in years.
Major US banks are finding outside AI agents inside customer accounts, Axios reported on October 22, 2026. Chase, Citi, Bank of America, Schwab and Morgan Stanley are restricting them. Chase's own terms say that if you let an AI agent use your login, you are responsible for what it does.
OpenAI released GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna on September 22, 2026, at half or less of GPT-5.6's promotional per-token prices. In ChatGPT they are not yet in regular Chat, and Free and Go users get Luna only in the desktop app.

Tesla doesn't stop you from using FSD (Supervised) in snow or rain, but its own manual says poor visibility from rain, snow, fog, direct sun or low light "can significantly degrade performance," and a blinded camera can make Self-Driving features unavailable. Regulators are investigating FSD crashes in glare, fog and dust. What each condition does, the alerts, and how to keep the cameras clear this winter.
A Tesla drive unit (the motor, gearbox and inverter in one housing) is covered for 8 years. On current terms the mileage cap is 100,000 to 150,000 miles, depending on the model and trim; the older Model S and Model X booklets read here set no mileage cap. After that, a Model 3 or Model Y can be covered for up to 2 more years or 30,000 miles with Tesla's one-time extension, if Tesla offers it for your car, 2,000 dollars plus 500 per repair visit in the US, but only if you buy it before the factory coverage ends. Here are the alerts that point to the drive unit, what owners have filed with NHTSA, and what repairs cost outside the warranty.
Tesla's US Extended Service Agreement costs $50 a month on a Model 3, $60 on a Model Y, $125 on a Model S and $150 on a Model X, before tax, plus a $100 deductible per repair visit ($200 on some older Model S and Model X). It starts when the 4-year or 50,000-mile basic warranty ends and can run up to 4 more years or 50,000 more miles, but never past 8 years or 100,000 miles on the car, so at the July 2026 price the most a Model Y owner pays in fees is $2,880. It excludes the battery and drive unit, which every Tesla factory warranty edition read for this page, back to 2017, covers at least that long. It pays off only if covered repairs cost more than the fees plus deductibles, and a car whose plan is cancelled can't be enrolled again.
The 30% US federal tax credit for home batteries is gone, so a Powerwall 3 now costs full price unless your utility helps. Which utilities pay up front, which pay every year, and how far that money goes against a typical price.
Hackers moved about $6.3 billion out of Binance on October 29, 2026, the largest crypto theft on record. Binance says user funds are safe, that it has set aside $6.34 billion to cover losses, and withdrawals are paused. What that means for coins on an exchange, and when a hardware wallet makes sense.
The average US home paid about $133 for electricity in October 2025 and about $175 in January 2026, by a calculation from EIA utility data, and the price per kilowatt-hour fell in most states over those months. On average the jump is usage, not price: homes that heat with electricity, space heaters and longer nights of lighting, with the furnace's blower fan and electric water heaters as other winter loads. EIA's October 2026 forecast has homes that heat with electricity paying about 4% more this winter than last. Here are the state numbers, the forecast by region, what the common plug-in culprits cost a month, and the cheap ways to stay warm: blankets and layers, heating only the rooms you use, thermostat setbacks, finding drafts with a borrowed thermal camera and sealing them, wood heat done safely, frozen-pipe prevention, and help paying the bill.

For most people the right instax is the instax mini 13, at a Fujifilm list price of $89.95 on November 1, 2026 (down from $93.95 at launch). It adds a self-timer to the mini 12. Want bigger prints? The instax Wide 400 ($175.95) prints pictures about twice the size. Want to pick shots on a screen and print from your phone? The instax mini Evo ($234.95) does both, and its successor, the mini Evo 2 ($289.95), is due at the end of November. Film costs about $1.30 a print for mini, $1.60 for Square and $1.90 for Wide.
