Finding a decent drone quadcopter for a fair price isn’t always easy since drones are so popular these days. On the one hand you have professional grade drones that are far too expensive to buy just for fun, and on the other hand you have cheap no-name quadcopters that fall apart within a month. Is there no happy medium?

There is, and the Holy Stone U818A HD Plus Drone with Camera might be just what you’re looking for.

There’s been a running joke for years that Apple builds its devices to last just long enough to satisfy a warranty or a two-year contract before they inevitably start running into issues, forcing the user to upgrade.

%name Apple scores $40 million in gold through its recycling program by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

We know Apple fans are fanatically loyal to the company, but would you believe they love Apple enough to just give it $40 million worth of gold? Well, they did… even though that wasn’t their intention. 9to5Mac points out that Apple’s latest Environmental Responsibility Report (PDF) shows that it recovered 89 million pounds of materials in its recycling program last year, including $40 million worth of gold. In other words, Apple’s recycling program is not only a good thing for the environment, but a good thing for Apple as well.
