The next iPad Pro needs to borrow this one iPad Air feature

I've used my iPad Pro for years now – obviously that means that I do like it, but there are two features that really ruin the experience for me.  The first is the battery life, but I know I can only get so annoyed at that. I've used the thing incessantly for several years, and Apple isn't exactly great with its product battery life anyway – I'm used to this now.  But there's one feature that some Apple fans paint as a positive, that I just hate for the iPad: Face ID.   I know Face ID is popular on iPhones, but I've found it doesn't work well at all. It rarely recognizes my face, and even when it does, it takes loads of rotating and fiddling with the device to angle it right. Oh, and simply picking up the phone is a chore when in-screen fingerprint sensors let me avoid this.   I'm admittedly comparing it to Android phone equivalents, which are a little less secure, but I'm not a secret agent or important celebrity – the odds of someone printing ...

Dying Light 2 devs launch update, backtrack three hours later

 Dying Light 2’s recent 1.2 patch has not gone down well with fans, who are angry after the update nerfed one of the game’s best items.   Although intended as an easter egg, the Korek Charm has become beloved by players for effectively letting them bypass the game’s weapon’s degradation system. Weapons in Dying Light 2 degrade with use, requiring you to discard them and replace them with shiny new options.  While it’s possible to restore the durability of degraded weapons by equipping them with stat-boosting mods, each mod only restores a meager 50 durability points. In comparison, the beloved Korek Charm restored a massive 500 durability points, effectively making weapons unbreakable.   https://ocj.com/2018/08/4-hers-tackle-tractor-day/comment-page-4/#comment-505756 http://training.monro.com/forum/posts/m5495-soup2day#post5495 https://www.sportsnetworker.com/2016/05/24/whats-fueling-economic-growth-in-sports-business/comment-page-2/#comment-1977827 https://www....

The iPhone 14 launch is likely to mean the end for the iPhone 11

 The arrival of the iPhone 14 later this year will mean the iPhone 11 gets shunted out of Apple's smartphone range, according to one tipster – so if you want the older phone then you've got a few months left to get it direct from Apple.  Sources speaking to iDropNews say that the iPhone 11 will be gone after the iPhone 14 range appears – not only due to its age but also because it potentially takes away sales from the iPhone SE (2022) that Apple launched in March.  Apparently, the iPhone 11 has sold more than the new iPhone SE since the latter phone arrived. The iPhone SE (2022) is the cheaper model of the pair, but the iPhone 11 has the more modern-looking design and features an extra camera on the back too. https://forums.wincustomize.com/509200/page/1/#3847586 https://www.edaboard.com/threads/experts-in-electronics-engineering-often-say-analog-circuit-design-is-like-black-magic-what-is-that-supposed-to-mean.402182/ https://www.electronics-lab.com/community/index.php?/t...
