NASA says it still hasn’t managed to communicate with Opportunity, the rover that fell silent after being caught in a global dust storm on Mars. Though the storm has passed and sunlight is once again present, Opportunity hasn’t managed to communicate with its team on Earth. NASA speculates dust on the solar panels may be the issue and says an … Continue reading
Effective November 6th, Venmo patrons who use Instant Transfer to move money from their Venmo accounts to their debit cards will notice increased service fees. Instead of a flat $.25 per transfer, Instant Transfer fees will be set at 1% of the total…
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.

Widespread Cable, Internet, and Radio Outages Mark Hurricane Michael's Path of Destruction
Posted in: Today's ChiliThe 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.
