Get iPad 4th gen replaced with iPad Air 2

Apple has also asked its staff to inform customers of the replacement unit’s colour and capacity. The iPad Air 2 introduced a new gold colour option, and has 32GB and 128GB storage options while 16GB and 64GB models were discontinued. For that reason, the users may receive a slight upgrade in storage when getting a replacement in addition to the device’s newer and more powerful internals overall.

Facebook is quietly developing the most useful virtual assistant ever that may outshine Jarvis — the artificial intelligence (AI) assistant its CEO Mark Zuckerberg developed in 2016. 

The company’s experimental assistant — called Facebook M — is offered inside the company’s Messenger app and shows the value of having a true digital butler in your pocket. Instead of just retrieving simple pieces of information from databases, M can understand complex orders and take actions like booking theatre tickets or contacting companies for information, a report in MIT Technology Review said. 

M works like Apple’s AI assistant Siri. But what makes M better than Siri is its ability return a meaningful answer. When Siri cannot answer a question, it replies: “I’m sorry, I don’t understand the question.” In the case of M, a human being invisibly takes over and responds to your request. The human-algorithm move was intended to provide data that would let the algorithms learn to take over the work of their human “trainers”.
