   ExtraBITS for 23 November 2015

   TidBITS Staff

   This week in ExtraBITS, Apple is investigating unresponsive iPad Pros,
   Yahoo Mail is blocking some users of AdBlock Plus, and The Wirecutter
   offers a guide to prepaid cellular plans.

   [1]Apple Investigating Unresponsive iPad Pros -- A number of iPad Pro
   users have reported that, after charging, their tablets stop responding
   and show only a black screen. Apple says that it's investigating the
   issue, but in the meantime the company recommends forcing a restart if
   your iPad Pro is locked up, which you can do by holding the Sleep/Wake
   and Home buttons until you see an Apple logo.

   [3]Yahoo Mail Blocking Some AdBlock Plus Users -- The war between
   advertisers and ad blockers has escalated. Yahoo Mail is reportedly
   blocking some users of the AdBlock Plus browser extension, displaying
   the following error message: 'Uh oh'¦ We are unable to display Yahoo
   Mail. Please disable Ad Blocker to continue using Yahoo Mail.' For
   those who don't wish to disable AdBlock Plus, a workaround is to change
   Yahoo Mail's view from Full Featured to Basic, although that may result
   in an unsatisfactory user experience.

   [5]The Wirecutter's Guide to Prepaid Cellular Plans -- The prepaid
   cellular landscape is dense and complex, but Rob Pegoraro has written a
   guide for The Wirecutter that cuts through the confusion. Unlike most
   of The Wirecutter's guides, this one doesn't present a single best
   choice, but rather a variety of recommendations depending on your
   needs.
