Changing these 6 settings on my iPad improved the battery life by hours

zdnet.com Maria Diaz 2025-11-26 23:00:14

Adam Breeden/ZDNET As an avid iPad user, I'm all too familiar with the internal struggles that course through me when the battery is about to die. I love using either the iPad 11 or iPad Air to write and work, but I also use it to stream content, play games, and browse the internet after work. This makes me appreciate the iPad's long battery life, yet my anxiety grows when I start getting 'low battery' alerts without a charger nearby.

Funding Open Source like public infrastructure

news.ycombinator.com Dries Buytaert 2025-11-26 21:24:17

To protect the digital foundation of essential government services, governments should invest in Open Source as public infrastructure and shift from consumption to contribution. Fifteen years ago, I laid out a theory about the future of Open Source. In The Commercialization of a Volunteer-Driven Open Source Project, I argued that if Open Source was going to thrive, people had to get paid to work on it. At the time, the idea was controversial. Many feared money would corrupt the spirit of volunt

The Kryptos Key Is Going Up for Sale

Ever since artist James Sanborn unveiled Kryptos, an outdoor sculpture that sits at CIA headquarters, amateur and professional cryptanalysts have been feverishly attempting to crack the code hidden in its nearly 1800-character message. While they have decoded 3 of the 4 panels of ciphertext in the S-shaped copper artwork, the final panel, known as K4, still defies solution. Only one human being on Earth knows the message of K4: Sanborn. But soon someone else will join the club. Sanborn is puttin

What Medieval People Got Right About Learning (2019)

We tend to assume that if people today and people five hundred years ago do things differently, it’s because we’ve figured out a better way to do it. After all, we have microscopes, democracy and penicillin. People in the middle ages lit cats on fire for fun. Yet despite overwhelming progress, it’s ironically in the area of education that we may be the ones who have it backward.

DOGE Has Wasted Billions While Saving Only a Fraction of What It Claims: Reports

The Trump Administration’s Department of Government Efficiency has been a project largely defined by ever-diminishing expectations. At the outset of DOGE’s journey, its chief operator, Elon Musk, famously claimed, in a bout of wild optimism, that he hoped to cut “at least” $2 trillion out of the federal budget. Not long after the election, Musk reduced his ambitions to $1 trillion. Throughout the first few months of Trump’s second term, DOGE claimed to be saving Americans billions, but analyses
