Sony reveals the complete list of PlayStation Classic games
Sony has finally revealed the full game list for the PlayStation Classic, and it looks like it'll please fans looking for a nostalgia hit... mostly.

MIA, unfortunately, are high-profile hits like Gran Turismo and Wipeout.
Meet Chevrolet's 700hp, 800-volt electric drag racer
Called the eCOPO Camaro, it's based on the 2019 version of the Chevy classic and has an electric motor that can provide the equivalent of over 700 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque. Chevy believes it can reach a quarter mile in under 10 seconds. Its standout feature, however, is probably its 800-volt battery pack -- twice the voltage found in a Bolt or Tesla.

Apple is investigating reports of student workers in factories (again)
Apple is investigating reports that one of its suppliers is illegally using high-school students on its assembly line. Hong Kong-based human-rights group Sacom alleges that Taiwanese manufacturer Quanta Computer has been skirting labor laws, using teenage "interns" to assemble the Apple Watch Series 4.
Sacom has talked to nearly 30 high-school students working at Quanta Computer's factory in Chongqing, China, and found many of them were working on the assembly line. One high schooler said there were roughly 120 students working in the plant. Last year, Apple supplier Foxconn was discovered to be using student workers for more than 11 hours per day.
