The first question to ask is how much you want to spend on an iPad. In general, the more you spend, the larger the storage, screen size, and computing power. 12.9-inch iPad Pro Apple introduced an iPad with a huge 12.9-inch display to bridge the gap between tablets and laptops. The iPad Pro is definitely a tablet with the processing power of a PC. The A12Z chip is about as powerful as a mid-range laptop, and with 4 GB of RAM for apps to go along with that expansive display, it’s a multitasking beast....

Robot vacuums that can also mop aren’t unheard of, but they have their limitations—mostly in that you have to set up a mop cleaning as a separate task from vacuuming. That, or the mop portion of the device, will end up dragging along the carpet and make things soggy, which is exactly why iRobot thinks its new Roomba Combo j7+ will stand out from the rest. Once the cleaning starts—and assuming you’ve also attached a mop pad and there’s cleaning solution in the tank—the j7+ will start with your rugs and carpets using just the vacuum....

The Studio Display has two options for its screen—regular and low-reflectivity nano-texture glass. You can also choose a stand. The standard stand offers tilt adjustment and nothing else. The height adjustable stand adds a few pounds to the weight and a few optional inches to the height. And then there’s the VESA mount, which lets you mount the display onto any third-party stand. The problem? It covers up the Apple logo, and not even all of it....

While the Steam Deck won’t perform any better when connected to its (sold separately) dock, it also won’t perform any worse when used in handheld mode. This may disappoint some folks, as it results in docked performance having the same constraints as the handheld mode’s specs. In an interview with PC Gamer, Steam Deck designer Greg Coomer said Valve decided to prioritize the handheld mode since that’s the mode it believes will see the most use....

Here is how it works. The TRDR Series II is available in three versions with three distinct personalities (and color schemes to match.) You’ll have your choice of Scarlet, Julia, and Tony, though the company has not given any details as to the specifics of each personality beyond name and gender. Go Games has, however, said each personality will act as an “indispensable everyday assistant” that allows for meaningful conversation, suggesting the console could be used as a mental health tool....

While it lacks some of the latest self-defense techniques of its competitors, Ultimate Antivirus makes up for it with an array of add-ons. The good news is that, together, they make for good protection. The bad news is that the best of them cost extra, making the security program expensive. We went ahead and tested TotalAV’s antivirus software to see how it stacks up against the other services on the market....

Diagnosing the Problem If your battery isn’t charging correctly, it could indicate a problem with the charger. Still, it’s more likely that the battery needs troubleshooting. If the problem lies with the charger, you might smell an odor of burning plastic when the unit is plugged in, or you may see a physical problem with the unit. The first time you use the charger, it may have an odd smell, but the odor should dissipate quickly and not repeat in the future....

After some Twitter users began noticing a new icon when looking at tweet replies, Twitter’s Support account admitted that it’s testing a new idea (for Twitter): upvotes and downvotes. According to the announcement, this is being used as a way for the platform to better understand what kinds of replies they consider relevant to a conversation. Twitter Support went on to explain that upvotes and downvotes are currently just being used “for research” and won’t necessarily become a standard feature....

A recent announcement highlights several features intended to make the part of your trip that comes after touchdown go a little more smoothly. It’s not just about having a car waiting when you de-plane, either. You’ll also be able to use Mobile Ordering For Pickup to order food in advance, and have a meal ready via Uber Eats once you’ve left your arrival gate. Ready When You Are is a new option that will let you request a ride when your plane lands, but specify when you want to be picked up....

Because ad-hoc networks require minimal configuration and can be deployed quickly, they make sense when you need to put together a small — usually temporary — cheap, all-wireless LAN. They also work well as a temporary fallback mechanism if equipment for an infrastructure mode network fails. Ad-Hoc Benefits and Downfalls Ad-hoc networks are obviously useful but only under certain conditions. While they’re easy to configure and work effectively for what they’re intended for, they might not be what’s needed in some situations....

Restoring From Backup Is Best Before we go any further, a note: if you’ve got a backup of your hard drive, it’s better to try to restore from that since it’s more comprehensive and will contain more than just iTunes. If you do have a backup, congratulations on being conscientious and planning ahead. Give yourself a high five and proceed to restore your data from backup. If you didn’t have a backup, research backup software and service options and start using one as soon as you get everything back up and running....

Some folks love to open their PCs to improve performance, increase storage space, and so on—and Valve understands this. It knows there will be some users who want to open their Steam Deck to swap out some components, so it’s released a video going over the basics of how to remove the thumbsticks and the SSD. It’s also strongly cautioning against any of this. According to Valve, the Steam Deck has been designed with specific parts in mind, with no intention for user-swapped parts....

Virtual reality—like any new tech idea—has seen quite a few renditions over the years. From the early consumer versions like the Nintendo Virtual Boy to the more advanced head-mounted displays of the last decade, virtual reality has advanced quite a bit. For some, though, it has never hit the “mainstream” of consumer tech, instead falling into one of the many niche areas of the gaming and entertainment world. Other experts in the field feel that it’s already here....

How WEP Works WEP uses a data encryption scheme that is based on a combination of user- and system-generated key values. The original implementations of WEP supported encryption keys of 40 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated data, leading to keys of 64 bits in total length. To increase protection, these encryption methods were later extended to support longer keys, including 104-bit (128 bits of total data), 128-bit (152 bits total), and 232-bit (256 bits total) variations....

The app might be gone, but you can still use YouTube on iOS 6. Here’s what you need to know. What Happened to the Old iPhone YouTube App?...

UHD can also be used to describe 8K UHD, which relates to the higher-still 8K resolution. What Resolution Is 4K UHD? 4K UHD resolution is 3,840 x 2,160, as defined by almost all commercial TVs. However, 4K resolution in other mediums can be slightly different, relating to any display that has a horizontal resolution around 4,000 pixels. In the case of some PC monitors, they can have a resolution of 3,840 × 1,600, or 3,840 x 1,080, although those aren’t typically referred to with the moniker of 4K UHD....

What Does a Cable Modem Do? Like all modems, the cable version handles and distributes internet information for a home or building. What makes the cable version unique is it moves data through the same jack and cables you use to watch TV. Most companies that offer cable internet used their existing infrastructure to add the extra function on top of TV programming. This transition is similar to wired phone service providers who expanded into their high-speed internet, DSL....
