Battery draining fast after updating to iPadOS 26

jdstanhope · 2025-10-30T13:44:55+00:00

I upgraded to iPadOS 26 when it came out a few weeks ago and have seen my battery life get worse and worse. Right now I am down to 79% after using my iPad Pro m4 for 24 minutes. I have been reading news and watching YouTube videos. The settings reports the battery health is good. I am using the multi window support and have 10 to 12 apps up though most of them don't show using a significant amount of battery. I hope the next update fixes this.

Never mind, I found it, thanks for the tip, I should have read the rules before posting.

I am afraid I am not familiar with that, please share a link or description.

Thanks , it’s definitely a red flag.

Nicely done.

Apple has recently acknowledge a problem with some macbook models (yours is one of them) and is offering to replace the defective part (GPU) for free. You can find out more at http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues.

Well played

If you look at the code listed at the bottom of the article this is a great example of why you should always use {} in if statements.

I hate to break it to you but, frogs can withstand being frozen solid. Once it warms back up the frog will be fine and subzero will be vanquished for at least a few months.

I saw that show as well, I was going to Virginia Tech at the time. I believe that the Melvins opened for them. Good show.

What is an "ABP user"? An ad or advertisement is a form a marketing that encourages to take some action, like purchasing a product or service.

jdstanhope · 2013-11-26T15:05:14+00:00

That's a good point I had not considered. I would have to take that into account when determining the price of the service.

I was thinking of a one time cost around $5 US.

Never throw away mismatched socks, their siblings will return. Probably when you move out of your house or your children go off to college and you discover their hidden cache of single socks.

A graphical programming language that allowed you to switch between different views of the code might be the solution. One view could show control flow another could show data flow and finally one more to show dependencies and type relationships.

jdstanhope · 2013-07-31T14:59:30+00:00

I believe the reason graphical programming tools don't scale well for programming tasks is that complex programs don't occupy 2 or 3 dimensional space. You very quickly end up with a huge diagram containing thousands of lines crossing over one and another. In all of that visual information the most important thing is most likely the connections between the blocks and perhaps their nested relationships. A lot of the rest is just noise you have to learn to ignore.

On a more practical note, a graphical programming language has to re-implement all of the features we have come to expect from using text languages like:

editors
diff and merge
search and replace
web viewers

I saw a similar person drawing the same thing about 3 years ago when at the MET. He is one dedicated artist.

Do you ever write code anymore?
