Dozens of Facebook contractors lost their jobs after an algorithm reportedly chose them ‘at random’

Meta has been slashing spending and hiring plans. A firm contracted by Meta recently told dozens of its workers that their work for Facebook “was soon being taken away,” according to a new report from Insider.

The Next iPad and iPad Pro Could Bring Plenty of Upgrades

Computing, News, Tablet, Tech
It may be a good idea to hold off on buying an iPad right now, as we expect new models from Apple later this year. Apple recently upgraded its back-to-school targeted MacBook Air with a new M2 chip and a better camera and display. Apple's iPad lineup, however, is still due for a 2022 upgrade. The midrange iPad Air got an M1 chip back in the spring, but the entry-level iPad and the iPad Pro are in a holding pattern until the fall.  Apple is expected to have product launch events in September and October, similar to previous years. The iPhone 14 and Apple Watch 8 could be unveiled in September, while the iPads might be saved for October, alongside an update to iPadOS 16.  If you've been waiting for new iPad models, here's what to expect. The iPad Mini and iPad Air have a new des...
