The big picture: Enthusiasts looking to push their high-end Raptor Lake or Raptor Lake Refresh Intel processors to the limits might want to think twice before using liquid metal thermal paste. According to a recent report, Intel is voiding warranties for CPUs cooled with this favorite material of overclockers, even if the processors are suffering from crashing issues.
WTF?! Apple claims it focuses on making products that are less likely to break rather than on making them easier to repair. That statement's unlikely to comfort anyone with a hairline crack in their iPhone or Apple Watch, which is no longer covered under the company's standard warranty.
Facepalm: If you bought or are considering purchasing the new Pixel 7, watch out for the glass coverings over the camera sensors. Many users report that the protective covers have violently shattered for no apparent reason. To make matters worse, Google seems to be filing complaints in the not-covered-by-warranty category.
