Apple’s iPad releases this year have been, well, lackluster to say the least. That isn’t to say the new 10th-gen iPad and the M2-equipped iPad Pro are bad products — far from it. But they either aren’t significantly better than their predecessors or have an awkward value proposition that puts them in between more compelling options in Apple’s lineup.

If you’ve been planning to buy an iPad this year, this is good news because you can confidently purchase last year’s (or even older) models without really giving up much. And based on the pricing we’ve seen on older iPads recently, that can either save you a ton of money or get you a more capable model for the same price you might pay for the latest base version.

Buying an older model also opens up the world of secondhand options, whether you’re buying a used one from a reseller, a reconditioned model, or just an open-box return from a retailer. You can save a ton of money on perfectly capable iPads this way — and since most iPads live the majority of their lives at home and aren’t used as frequently as a phone, used models are generally in better condition and will last longer.

Here are my recommendations for what to look for instead of the latest iPads this year.

If you’re looking at a 10th-gen iPad, buy this instead:

Rivian recalls nearly 13,000 EVs over loose fastener

Rivian’s recalling 12.212 electric vehicles (EVs) over a loose fastener that could affect drivers’ ability to control the car (via CNBC). The recall affects nearly every vehicle Rivian has produced this year, and spans the carmaker’s entire lineup, covering certain 2022 R1T pickup trucks, R1S SUVs, as well as the electric delivery vans (EDVs) it’s building for Amazon. Rivian produced a total of 14,317 vehicles in the first three quarters of 2022 and delivered over 12,000.

According to a notice filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the fastener connecting the front upper control arm and steering knuckle may not have been “sufficiently torqued.” This could potentially result in separation, “causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.” The safety report says drivers with affected vehicles may notice excessive noise, vibration, harshness from the front suspension, and a change in steering performance or feel.

“It’s important not to minimize the potential risks involved and why we are volunteering to conduct this recall,” Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe wrote in an email to customers viewed by CNBC. “In rare circumstances, the nut could loosen fully. I want to reiterate that this is extremely rare, but it does reinforce why we are acting with such urgency and caution.”

Rivian issued the recall after investigating seven reports related to the defect, none of which involved any injuries. The EV maker says it will properly secure the steering knuckle fasteners in the vehicles affected by the

Mario’s Next Nintendo Switch Game, Sparks of Hope, Gets a New Cinematic Trailer

Nintendo and Ubisoft have released a new cinematic trailer for the upcoming Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope game ahead of its launch next week.

A sequel to 2017’s unlikely hit crossover, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, Sparks of Hope sees Nintendo’s plumber once again teaming up with the manic Rabbids crew, this time to save the galaxy from a dark threat known as Cursa.

As before, players will need to strategically maneuver Mario and company around the battlefield, making use of cover and each character’s special abilities to defeat Cursa’s evil forces.

In addition to returning heroes like Mario and Rabbid Peach, Sparks of Hope introduces several new playable characters, including Rabbid Rosalina and Mario’s longtime nemesis, Bowser, who begrudgingly teams up with the good guys to defeat Cursa and rescue his own minions.

Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope launches for Nintendo Switch on Oct. 20. The game will be available in standard and gold editions. The latter includes a season pass that grants players access to all upcoming DLC packs as they arrive, as well as the Galactic Prestige Pack, which comes with three exclusive weapon skins.

The Sparks of Hope trailer arrives on the heels of the first trailer for the Super Mario Bros. movie, which stars Chris Pratt as Mario and Jack Black as Bowser. The film is scheduled to hit theaters April 7.

Where Is Sauron in ‘The Rings of Power’? Many Think He’s Already Been Seen on Screen

Where’s the bad guy in Rings of Power? Everybody knows the big bad in Middle-earth, at least after The First Age, is Sauron. So when you’re watching a new show exploring Middle-earth in The Second Age, and there’s only one episode left, it’s time to start asking questions. Where is Sauron, and why haven’t we seen him yet? Or have we seen him, but in disguise as another character?

Here’s a quick look at everything we know so far, and some fun speculation about what may be in store for The Rings of Power.

Who is Sauron in The Rings of Power?

At the moment, we have no idea who Sauron is in The Rings of Power. There is no credit for Sauron, no actor who has been announced as playing Sauron, and the only time we’ve seen Sauron on screen was the beginning of the first episode in a look at the past. According to JRR Tolkien, Sauron is more or less in hiding at this point as he builds up strength and hatches a plan to take over the world.

We don’t know where Sauron is right this second, but we know where he’s been. In episode 6, the Uruk known as Adar confirms Galadriel’s suspicion that Sauron had originally escaped to the far north so he could experiment on accessing a place called The Unseen World but was unsuccessful. Adar claims to have attacked Sauron and escaped, but we know he’s still alive somewhere.

Viral TikTok Vet Reveals the One Type of Cat He’d Get

There’s just one kind of cat veterinarian Ben Simpson-Vernon would bring into his own family. Simpson-Vernon, known as Ben the Vet on TikTok, has made popular videos about the five breeds of dog he would and wouldn’t getand one about the four cat breeds he’d avoid. So his newest video, about the type of cat he would get, was inevitable — and should prove satisfying to many who have cat.

“There’s just one,” Simpson-Vernon says. “I would just get a domestic shorthair, otherwise known as a moggy — just your regular, standard, garden variety cat. They’re the cat’s equivalent of a mutt, or a mongrel, so on average they’re going to be less inbred than your average pedigreed cat. And they’re just as lovely.”

(“Moggy,” or “moggie,” is a term used in Britain for a regular, non-pedigreed cat, and really, we Americans need to borrow that word.)

Simpson-Vernon also spoke about the importance of getting cats neutered (or, presumably, spayed) so they don’t have kittens and contribute to the problem of so many cats needing homes. He also showed a photo of himself with some rescue cats he recently checked over for a charity, noting that the cute cats in the photo have all found homes.

Earlier, Simpson-Vernon said he wouldn’t get a purebred cat
