    The iPad feels more confusing than ever.

    Apple made some nice changes to the entry-level iPad — especially the camera, which is finally in the right place! — but left it with some old specs and a high price. The new M2 Pro should be super fast, but... to what end? And why are there so many Apple Pencil models to think about?

    Apple’s definitely all-in on USB-C and the “use your iPad like a laptop” thing, but it’s harder than ever to figure out who should buy what.

    Inside the information warfare happening on Wikipedia.

    This is a really good read on a new study of how disinformation spreads on Wikipedia — which is maybe the internet’s single most important source of information? — and the ways the platform is trying to stop it. It’s all so much more subtle than I realized.
