I 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.

Oz is a Turkish-American with ties to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,
and has been accused of denying the Armenian Genocide.
As a result, Armenian-American voters in Pennsylvania played a key role in defeating him in his tight 2022 U.S. Senate race,
during which Oz refused to explicitly recognize the 1915 mass killings of Armenians.
California Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office echoed concerns of ulterior motives,
saying it is reviewing reports of Oz …

This dataset is divided into separate networks for all 107 fields, as well as aggregate networks for 8 domains, and an overall network for …
