MKBHD on the New A20 Pro iPad Mini
Marques Brownlee describes the two color choices as “annoyingly, slightly not black and slightly not white,” which is apt. He digs the acoustic display enough that he can imagine Apple bringing it to a future high-end iPhone (like if they do a big redesign next year for the 20th anniversary), but he says you can feel the whole iPad shake if you turn the volume up high enough. And, of course, he dings it for not having a 120 Hz display, and wonders where Apple even sourced a high quality OLED that doesn’t support 120 Hz. I think that’s the wrong question to ask. It’s not about the display panel

iPad Mini (A20 Pro) Review Roundup
David Pierce at The Verge , on the Acoustic Display: It means the sound fires out of the front panel rather than from speaker holes. (Some TVs currently work the same way.)

Mostly it’s a wash in service of the ruggedization, which is good enough for me. Stephen Robles, on YouTube , thinks it sounds muffled at high volumes and doesn’t seem to like how you can feel the whole table

Firefox's New Mini Window Is Every Multitasker's Dream
Mozilla is testing a new Firefox Nightly feature called Mini Window that lets users pop an entire webpage into a small, always-on-top window stripped of most browser controls. "The idea behind the Firefox Mini Window feature is simple: allow users to move a currently open tab (or a section of a tab) into a separate mini window," writes ZDNet's Jack Wallen. "Think of it as moving a tab from one window to what appears like a web app." From the report: At first blush, there's no address bar, controls, scroll bar, or anything else that would normally be associated with Firefox. The Mini Window app
