Apple has little interest in merging iPadOS and macOS, or bringing its desktop operating system to its touchscreen tablet.

Apple's AirPods Pro 2 are back on sale for $169

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-04 23:35:22

They might be nearly three years old at this point, but Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro remain some of the most popular wireless earbuds around for a reason, and right now they’re down to $169 on Amazon. That’s a not-insignificant 32 percent off the usual $249 price of the noise-canceling in-ears. Apple’s flagship AirPods were $100 off — a record-low $149 — during Prime Day, so we have seen them even cheaper than this, but for a non-sale period, Amazon’s current deal is worth considering.

Best Internet Providers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

What is the best internet provider in Philadelphia? Verizon Fios is CNET's broadband expert's top pick for the best internet service provider in Philadelphia. Not only is it the only fiber connection in the area, but it has impressive range, covering almost 95% of city addresses. Better yet, it has a starting price of just $50 -- an absolute steal for anyone living in busy households to remote workers.

Self-Guaranteeing Promises

news.ycombinator.com Steph Ango 2025-12-05 06:03:06

Companies break promises all the time. A self-guaranteeing promise does not require you to trust anyone. You can verify a self-guaranteeing promise yourself. File over app is a self-guaranteeing promise. If files are in your control, in an open format, you can use those files in another app at any time. Not an export. The exact same files.

CMF Phone 2 Pro Review: A Budget Phone With More Camera Than You Bargained For

The whole idea of a budget phone is pitching you what may as well be the bargain of the century.

Reflections on Soviet Amateur Photography

The appearance of strangers within family photo albums was part of how a Soviet imagined and imaged community was constructed and sustained. “Just as any advanced comrade must have a watch, he shall also possess mastery of a photo camera.” So declared Anatoly Lunacharsky in 1926, in his role as the Soviet Union’s Commissar of Enlightenment.

P-fast trie, but smaller

Previously, I wrote some sketchy ideas for what I call a p-fast trie, which is basically a wide fan-out variant of an x-fast trie. It allows you to find the longest matching prefix or nearest predecessor or successor of a query string in a set of names in O(log k) time, where k is the key length. My initial sketch was more complicated and greedy for space than necessary, so here’s a simplified revision. (“p” now stands for prefix.)

Which colors are primary?

Artists traditionally refer to red, yellow, and blue as primary colors. These three colors were once believed to be the essential set for mixing a broad palette in painting. Following this line of thinking, violet, green and orange become secondary colors because they’re mixed from the primaries. However, for more than a century, both scientific understanding and practical experience has shown that cyan, magenta, and yellow are more efficient for subtractive mixing with pigments, producing clea
