Report: M5 iPad Pro to have dual front-facing cameras

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-07-20 13:43:43

With last year’s M4 iPad Pro, Apple made a long-awaited change to the design: it moved the front-facing camera from the top to the side. According to Bloomberg today, Apple has another big change to the iPad Pro’s front-facing camera in store for the M5 update coming later this year. In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman reports: Apple is apparently adding a second, portrait-side front-facing camera to the upcoming M5 iPad Pro, presumably so FaceTimers and selfie fans

Larq Bottle PureVis 2 Review: Drinking Water as a Video Game Isn’t as Dumb as It Sounds

gizmodo.com Claire Maldarelli 2025-07-20 11:00:22

There’s something I learned about hydration that I can never forget: if you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. It’s a rule of thumb that can come in handy if you are out on a long hike or on the beach in the middle of summer when the risk of becoming dehydrated is pretty high. But day-to-day, I rarely pay attention to how much water I drink or how dehydrated my body could be. Despite the ever-growing popularity of mega-sized water bottles and counting the number of glasses people should d

The Bad Batch Returns In a New ‘Star Wars’ Novel

It’s been over a year since Star Wars: The Bad Batch ended, but it was a given Clone Force 99 would eventually live on beyond the screen. Next month, we’ll check back in with the team in their first novel, Sanctuary. Written by Lamar Giles (Ruin Road), the tale takes place towards the end of season two after the episode “Pabu.” Now that they’re working with pirate hunter Phee, the Clones—Hunter, Omega, Wrecker, and Tech—are on resource gathering duty after the planet’s recent tsunami.

I Get 5G on My Phone at Home, So Why Can't I Get 5G Home Internet? Here's What I Learned

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-20 11:00:00

If you can get 5G on your phone while at home, you should be able to get 5G internet at your house, right? Not exactly. 5G is no longer the shiny new thing, thanks to efforts from major carriers AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, but 5G home internet service isn't strictly available at the same addresses as 5G cellular service. I ran into this when I switched my mobile carrier from AT&T cellular service to T-Mobile phone service. I was immediately impressed with the phone's 5G performance. However, ev

9 Best Coolers WIRED Tested for Every Budget, Any Situation

wired.com Louryn Strampe 2025-07-20 13:07:00

The first thing to consider when buying a cooler is how you're going to use it. If you aren't heading out for days at a time, you probably don't need an expensive high-end cooler. All the coolers we've recommend above are capable of holding things at a safe temperature for a day, provided you keep them in the shade. Similarly, if you're navigating rugged terrain, you might want beefy wheels—and if you're just going to the beach, you might not need them. Hard-sided coolers: These range from the

My 9 Favorite Pickleball Paddles From 3 Years of Testing (2025)

wired.com Martin Cizmar 2025-07-20 15:06:00

I was not sure what to expect from Diadem's new BluCore paddle, which is among a handful of new paddles that have replaced the standard honeycomb polymer core with closed-cell foam—they sent me a sample of the stuff, and it looks like you could make a gas station cooler out of it. That foam is substantially more durable—it has a lifetime warranty, in fact—over the long haul and is also not at risk of delaminating in extreme temperatures if, for example, you leave the paddle in the car on a scorc

Async I/O on Linux in databases

I've been working on a complex multi-model database for a few weeks now, and recently I took time to simplify and test out an idea I had on a simple key-value database. I started with the basics: A hash table in memory, a simple append-only log for persistence and durability, and the classic fsync() call after every write to the log for durability. It worked, but wasn't as fast as it could be. In Kevo, that's the approach I use, but in Klay (not public yet, but will be open sourced when ready)

The bewildering phenomenon of declining quality

Best Portable Projector for Movies and Gaming Anywhere in 2025

How portable do you really need? Pretty much every projector is "portable" to some degree. Many of the projectors on the best projector list, for example, are small enough to fit in a backpack. They might fill that backpack, but that's their size. If you just want something for the occasional movie night, one of those would be significantly brighter and create a better image. Generally speaking, the smaller the projector, the dimmer it is. How much battery do you need? Most portable projectors

Do Contact Lenses Expire? Everything Eye Doctors Want You to Know About Replacing Your Contacts

If you wear contact lenses, you probably don't think much about them. But they're a relatively new invention -- in fact, the first disposable contact lens wasn't introduced until 1982. "We think of contact lenses as being so normal, but 100 years ago, nobody walked around with little pieces of plastic over their eyes," says ophthalmologist Dr. Robert Kinast, the vice chair of ophthalmology at Legacy Devers Eye Institute and co-founder of GentleDrop.

Renewed iPad Pros pair nicely with iPadOS 26, and they’re quite affordable right now

A short while ago, I was browsing Apple deals on Amazon (as one does) – and something stuck out to me. High-end iPad Pros, particularly 12.9-inch models, are surprisingly cheap. I saw M1 models with 1TB and cellular for nearly $600. Given the recent iPadOS 26 overhaul that makes the iPad much more Mac-like, I figured these deals would be worth a share.

Local LLMs versus offline Wikipedia

Make Your Own Backup System – Part 1: Strategy Before Scripts

Backup: Beyond the Simple Copy For as long as I can remember, backup is something that has been underestimated by far too many people. Between flawed techniques, "Schrödinger's backups" (i.e., never tested, thus both valid and invalid at the same time), and conceptual errors about what they are and how they work (RAID is not a backup!), too much data has been lost due to deficiencies in this area. Nowadays, backup is often an afterthought. Many rely entirely on "the cloud" without ever asking
