Apple TV HD with original Siri Remote is now classified as Vintage

Source: MacRumors

If you still have the Apple TV HD with the original Siri Remote, that device may no longer be eligible for repairs. Apple has included this device in its vintage products list. The company typically classifies a product as vintage after five years since Apple last distributed the device for sale. These products are generally ineligible for repairs through official channels unless there are available parts.

The model affected is the Apple TV HD released in 2015 with a Siri Remote that doesn't have a white right around the Menu button. Apple added a white ring to the button in 2017 to make it more prominent. So, if you have that version, this change won't affect you. There are reports that Apple will release a new Apple TV this year. So, if you're planning to get one, it might be worth waiting for a bit.

'Stray' to get a real-life 'cat-pack' for your feline friend

Stray, the third-person cat adventure game, wants to bring your love for the digital cat to your real-life kitty (if you have one). Annapurna Interactive partnered with Travel Cat to release a limited-edition cat backpack and harness and leash set. This Stray-inspired cat pack can hold "up to 25 lbs of cat." Like other cat backpacks, it has a bubble window that lets your kitty peer out into the world while you travel with them. 

The leash and harness set is a replica of the one worn by the nameless cat who prowls the robot-filled streets of Stray. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with the robot sidekick B12. Both the backpack and harness are already available for pre-order. In Canada, the bag retails for $245, while the harness costs $70.

Redecorating a room in your home can be a fun challenge. We emphasize the word challenge, though. But one of the new features Apple introduced to developers last month could help out with digitally planning a space. Yes, you won't need to move any furniture around first. RoomPlan is a new Swift API that uses Apple's ARKit and an iPhone or iPad with a camera and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). The scanner can generate detailed and accurate 3D floor plans, including features like windows and doors. It can even automatically recognize and measure different furniture. And then, it can edit your furniture pieces out of the shot, making it seem like you have an empty room to work with.
