@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI generally hate buying new computing devices and try to make them last as long as possible. I bought a used/refurb iPad 5th Gen in 2022 for $199 and got 2 years of solid use before I upgraded to a 6th Gen in 2024 (for $170) so I could use an Apple Pencil.
I then put the old 5th Gen on my trainer bike as a video player and it still works great.
But sadly, two years in the 6th Gen now has dead spots on the screen. I may need to replace it.

@cdarwin@c.imTwenty-one states funneled nearly a half-billion dollars, or $491 million, of taxpayer money
to anti-abortion "crisis pregnancy center" organizations between fiscal years 2022 and 2025.
That figure does not include millions some states diverted from federal programs like "Temporary Assistance for Needy Families",
and it does not include multimillion-dollar tax credit programs launched after federal protections for abortion rights were overturned.
