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

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-07-22 01:01:30

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. While renewed iPad deals are the focus here because of their affordability, new iPad deals are also mentioned at the end. Renewed M1 iPad Pro d

Local LLMs versus offline Wikipedia

news.ycombinator.com Evan Hahn 2025-07-21 23:49:02

Two days ago, MIT Technology review published “How to run an LLM on your laptop”. It opens with an anecdote about using offline LLMs in an apocalypse scenario. “‘It’s like having a weird, condensed, faulty version of Wikipedia, so I can help reboot society with the help of my little USB stick,’ [Simon Willison] says.” This made me wonder: how do the sizes of local LLMs compare to the size of offline Wikipedia downloads? I compared some models from the Ollama library to various downloads on Kiw

Every July 17, the internet comes together and celebrates World Emoji Day.

And in honor of the internet holiday, I asked my colleagues at CNET what their favorite and most used emoji are.

Even though many people already get all the protein they need every day, having on-the-go snacks such as protein bars can be helpful when you're in a pinch. With so many protein bars on store shelves, finding the best one for your tastes and preferences can be difficult and overwhelming. But whether you’re hiking, commuting or just packing light, a good snack -- and maybe a compact Bluetooth speaker -- can make the journey more enjoyable.

The New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Betrays Itself From the Very Start

If you make an I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, one thing has to work above all else. Whatever the characters “did last summer” has to be bad enough for someone to plausibly return a year later and try to kill them. It’s one of the things the 1997 original gets right. A group of (mostly) drunk friends drive on a dark road, run into a person, and then, while he may or may not be still alive, throw his body into the ocean.

Subaru's third EV is the Uncharted (yep) with 300 miles of range and 338 horsepower

Subaru just screwed up our SEO with the launch of the Uncharted, an electric crossover with up to 300 miles of range that probably has nothing to do with the video game. It uses the same E-TNGA platform as Toyota's CH-R EV and strongly resembles that model. Due to arrive next year, the 2026 Uncharted will come in two versions, both with 74.7kWh batteries.
