Other Good iPadsPhotograph: AppleApple no longer sells these iPads, but these slightly older models are still good options, as long as you can find them for the right discount. I recommend checking third-party retailers (like Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H). I also suggest cross-checking the price with the latest models to make sure you’re spending a fair amount less on the older tablet. Older models not mentioned here are increasingly hard to find and might not be worth it.iPad Pro (2022, 6th Gen): These iPad Pro tablets (7/10, WIRED Review) use the same M2 chip that’s inside the MacBook Air…
Jim Carrey is fresh off of reprising the role of moustachioed and bald baddie Dr Robotnik in Sonic 3, and he’s already suggested that he’d at aleast consider the idea of returning for furture Sonic movies – for example, a Sonic 4, provided he thinks the idea of whatever’s pitched “sounds fun”. This comes after Carrey basically came out of retirement to do Sonic 3, saying on the red carpet that he’d returned – after previously joking that “if the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that says to me that it’s going to be…
All the way back in 2024 – I’m talking a whole six-ish days ago at the time of writing – freelance tech journalist Gareth Beavis wrote an article for TechRadar detailing why he feels the rumored iPhone SE 4 could break new ground for Apple.

Skeletal remains and grave goods, including weaponry, were identified at the Sárrétudvari-Hízóföld cemetery.

Extreme TV nerds (hello) will sometimes talk about ‘mastering’ movies and shows, which is the industry term for the look of something being created and settled on by the creative team behind it. ‘Mastering’ monitors are what are used for this, and they’re specialist screens that are designed to be supremely accurate to the picture signal coming into them, so that colorists can perfect the look of a movie with confidence.They use slightly different screen tech compared to any of the best TVs you can buy, and they’re bulky beasts that are interesting to look at – but you don’t…
