When it comes to display resolution, Apple hasn’t really hopped on board the whole QHD or 4K trend as far as mobile devices are concerned. This has led to criticism of the company’s products, and unfortunately if you were hoping that the 2018 iPad Pros would be getting a bump in resolution, you’ll be disappointed to learn that won’t be happening.
This is according to app analytics firm Appsee who claims to have seen evidence of the upcoming iPads in its logs that suggests that both the 10-inch and 12-inch iPad Pros will be maintaining the same resolution as its predecessor. Is this a bit of a disappointment? Usually it wouldn’t really be that case as like we said, Apple has never really been one to bump resolution unnecessarily.
However given that the 2018 iPad Pros are expected to be more than just a hardware upgrade but also sport a new edge-to-edge display, ditch the home button, support Face ID, and switch from Lightning to USB-C, we’re sure that there are some who were hoping that we could see some display upgrades as well.
Whether or not this is true remains to be seen, so it’s probably best to take it with a grain of salt for now. However if you’re more than happy with the current resolution, then we guess this shouldn’t really impact your decision to buy the tablet.

Grado is a company known for their high-end headphones, and just like many of their audiophile customers, Grado has stayed away from launching wireless headphones with the belief that wireless won’t sound as good as wired. However it looks like the company has finally caved in as they have since launched their first pair of wireless headphones.
Coming in the form of the GW100, these are the company’s first wireless headphones. If they look familiar, it is because they seem to follow in the footsteps of Grado’s previous headphone design, with the main difference being that these headphones are now wireless and will pair with devices using Bluetooth.
Of course it won’t be a complete replica of its predecessor as Grado claims to have redesigned the headphone internally. They claim that noise leakage is now reduced by as much as 60% (these are open-back headphones, by the way) which means that when using it in an office it won’t be quite as annoying to others around you.
The headphones will support Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX, with a range of about 10 meters. Grado is also boasting 15 hours of battery life, but your mileage may vary especially with regards to volume levels which can affect battery life. If you love Grado’s products and are glad that the company has finally opted to create a wireless headset, you can head on over to its website to get your hands on the GW100 where it is priced at $250.

The “Real Time” host also called out the president for repeatedly dubbing Democrats “an angry mob.”
Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson were all called out by the CNN anchor.
“From the bowels of the White House he shrieked, hurled curses and tweeted bile — because that’s what demons do.”
In games like Dungeons and Dragons, rolling a 1 is the worst news you can get. It means that you have critically failed at whatever task you are attempting. It often elicits the F word from the mouths of those rolling the die. Well, the good news is that these dice say it for you.
These Critical Failure D20 dice are made by Etsy seller MarsDice. The 25mm dice have ‘F*CK’ printed on one of their sides instead of a ‘1’. So now you don’t even have to open your mouth. These dice say it for all to see. They are available with a silver or gold finish, and cost $18 each. That price doesn’t really make sense because I had to use the swear jar like 100 times before I had $18. How does that convert to 1 single F word on a die?
My advice to nerds is not to look at rolling an F-bomb as a failure, but rather that you had a 1-in-20 chance of getting one. You know, always look on the bright side of life.

The Federal Communications Commission on Friday released an update regarding areas suffering wireless, cable, and radio service outages due to Hurricane Michael, which made landfall near Bay County, Florida, on Wednesday.
In a video that similar to those videos where humans push around ATLAS, researchers at Delft University of Technology have created a system that will let a quadrotor drone keep flying even if one of the propellers is broken.
The video above – which is, arguably, pretty boring – shows the drone fighting against both structural damage and wind and most definitely winning. The fact that it is able to stay airborne under such wild conditions is the real draw here and it’s a fascinating experiment in robust robotics. In other words, this drone routed around damage that would destroy a normal quadcopter.
According to IEEE the system works by adding a multiple subsystems to the drone in order to manage the position and altitude. The system uses the built-in gyro and accelerometer readings to keep itself in the air and lots of processing power to keep it moving forward even as it seems to careen into the wild blue yonder. Further, the system manages motor power to ensure that the propellers aren’t “saturated.”
The researchers, Sihao Sun, Leon Sijbers, Xuerui Wang, and Coen de Visser, presented their paper in Spain last week at IROS 2018.
