Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on the technology stories that matter.
Sony is making PlayStation five ownership more expensive across the board. After raising prices on new consoles last month, the company has now pushed refurbished PS five Slim prices up by one hundred dollars, and the budget Fortnite bundle that kept entry-level gaming accessible at three hundred ninety nine dollars has quietly sold out, likely for good.
That price pressure hits as a darker story continues to unfold around Apple. Individual lawsuits over AirTag stalking are moving forward after a federal judge denied class action status earlier this year. Victims allege Apple failed to build adequate safeguards against misuse, and with cases now proceeding one by one, the legal exposure for the company could stretch on for years.
And in a quieter but genuinely remarkable corner of tech history, eighty six dash DOS one point zero, the earliest ancestor of the operating system that powered a generation of personal computers, has been transcribed from physical printouts discovered in a garage and released as open source on its forty fifth anniversary. Sometimes the most important software survives on paper.
