Imagine a world where every country used a different set of measurements for weight, volume, size, and so on. That would be extremely confusing, wouldn’t it? That’s one of the issues surrounding drone legislation, where different countries have different rules and regulations when it comes to drone operational procedures.
However the good news is that the International Organization for Standards (ISO) has released a first draft (via MIT Review) of what appears to be the first worldwide standards for drones. Basically the standards want to determine who constitutes as no-fly zones, what is the sufficient distance required for drones to be away from such areas, and so on.
It has also suggested that geo-fencing technology should be implemented to prevent drones from entering such areas, along with features such as flight logging, training, and maintenance requirements. The standards are also looking to establish rules for drone operators to follow with regards to respecting the privacy of others, as well as data protection.
That being said, the ISO can’t force countries or drone makers to adopt these standards, but like we said, having an international set of agreed-upon standards should help make things clear cut in the future. The ISO is also expected to release another set of standards that will address things like technical specifications, manufacturing quality, and traffic management in the future.

Unless you go for sliders/elevators or ignore them completely, it seems that cutouts are an inescapable fact of smartphone life. At least for the time being. All that manufacturers can do is try to come up with ways to minimize or hide that notch. It seemed for a while that the “waterdrop” notch was going to be the compromise but … 
Windows 10’s October update, a.k.a. version 1809, is turning out to be, by far, the worst Windows 10 update in its three-year history as a rolling release. While Windows as a Service definitely has many benefits on paper, Microsoft’s execution is souring users’ perception of what should have been a very positive change. The latest in a growing litany of … 
Venmo apparently had a good reason for disabling web payments and temporarily shutting off instant money transfers — it was losing money hand over fist. The Wall Street Journal has obtained documents indicating that the PayPal-owned service took a…
Earlier today the Insight lander successfully touched down on Mars, and it’s already crushing the ‘gram. Signals indicating that its solar panels had opened and were generating power came back to Earth at about 8:30 PM ET, along with a few photograph…
If you’ve ever shopped at an Apple Store, you’ll notice how all the staff there are equipped with iPhones or iPads that are used to facilitate sales and pull up customer information on the fly. This is more efficient than having a computer at the back which can slow the process down, especially if there are many customers.
It’s extremely rare for an FCC sighting to reveal many details about devices that pass through it. So when it spills almost all the beans on an unannounced product, we’re not really going to complain. Fortunately or unfortunately, that is exactly what happened to the Moto G7 Play, leaving nothing left to be wondered about. Well, maybe except for whether … 
Perhaps Vivo, and OPPO, jumped the gun too soon. Although much talked about, no one else decided to follow in their footsteps to make elevating cameras a thing. Others have gone a different route to solve the notch problem and now it seems Vivo has changed directions as well. That’s because the successor of the world first elevating camera smartphone …
