Apple iPad dimensions – the complete list – Ebook Friendly

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/25

Reasonably complete list if iPad models and their sizes: [Wayback/Archive] Apple iPad dimensions – the complete list – Ebook Friendly

It is easier to read than lists here:

The reason for searching was that I contemplated about buying a large iPad to use as combination of dual-screen and note reading during music performance/practice.

TL;DR: Large models are iPad Pro 12.9″ (2015-now; 2018-now are still supported by iPadOS) and iPad Air 13″ (2024-now) which has a M2 processor (the same as the 2022 iPad Pro 12.9″)

No, You Are Not Getting a CVE for That (as it rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/25

A great rambling on “It rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway” (I really want that printed on a T-Shirt):

[Wayback/Archive] No, You Are Not Getting a CVE for That.

Lot’s of references by [Wayback/Archive] Parsia to great posts by [Wayback/Archive] Raymond Chen mainly on security issues that are not: there is only a vulnerability when you get from the other side of the outside of the airtight hatchway to the inside, not when you are already inside.

And of course this great reference to H2G2 (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), a trilogy in five parts by Douglas Adams:

Arthur: But can’t you think of something?!
Ford: I did.
Arthur: You did!
Ford: Unfortunately, it rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway—
Arthur: oh.
Ford: —that’s just sealed behind us.
