Iran strikes rattle Gulf aluminum supply as Alba and EGA assess damage

Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) said it was assessing damage after Iranian strikes hit its Alba smelter and Emirates Global Aluminium’s Al Taweelah site in the UAE, with two Alba workers injured and EGA reporting significant damage. The Gulf region accounts for about 9% of global aluminum output, and shipments have been disrupted by the Iran war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Alba had already begun shutting lines to preserve continuity, Bahrain Steel declared force majeure, and U.S. aluminum markets have seen rising Midwest premiums as supply tightens.

Neo MacBook: Apple’s easiest repair in years but still memory‑locked

iFixit’s teardown of Apple’s MacBook Neo finds it the company’s most repairable laptop since 2014, with screws securing the battery and keyboard and parts like the camera and fingerprint sensor easy to swap. Yet the 8GB RAM is soldered to the motherboard, making memory upgrades nearly impossible, and the device scores only 6/10 on repairability. Experts warn the RAM soldering could hinder future AI workloads, even as Apple touts privacy advantages of local AI; the Neo is expected to target education markets similar to low-cost Chromebooks.
