Dungeons and Dragons can be intimidating for new players for many reasons. There are a lot of stats to keep track of, character traits to consider and you better get used to rolling a lot of dice. Well, this custom calculator takes care of your dice rolls for you at least.
It was created by Caleb Everett and will certainly make your game easier and geekier. The software he put together will not only roll the dice, but it also adds up all the faces, saving you some trouble. Caleb wants to add more advanced software features in the future like increasing the likelihood of rolling numbers that haven’t been seen in a while. Although, that kind of defeats the purpose of random dice rolls if you ask me.
Under the hood, it packs an Adafruit Feather M0 Express controller board, a 128 x 32 OLED display, and a 2200 mAh lithium ion battery so it can go anywhere.
Hopefully, it works great in real game situations. You could always use a smartphone dice rolling app, but if you ask me this is much cooler. Now if it could help you to create your character as well, it would be perfect.

Computer users with small desks often wish they had more desk space. However, workspace can be hard to come by thanks to big computer displays and keyboards. Samsung now has a slick display called the Space Monitor. Rather than having a regular stand, the Space Display comes with an arm that connects to your desk.
Simply clamp the display’s stand to the edge of your desk, and you can adjust the monitor’s angle and distance from right up against the wall, to a low profile similar to that of a laptop. It’s a really smart design that eliminates the need for a third-party monitor arm.
The 32-inch unit supports 4K resolution while the 27-inch supports WQHD resolution. The 27-inch Space Monitor sells for $399.99, and the 32-inch Space Monitor retails for $499.99. Both displays are available now over on Amazon.

Researchers are trying to find ways to eliminate superbugs in an unlikely location- the ISS. You might think of space as being a sterile environment, but the inside of … Continue reading

Testing of autonomous autos is critical since there will be no human behind the wheel. These vehicles have to recognize all manner of obstacles and conditions to operate safely. Testing of autonomous vehicles is done on public roads in some states, but much of the testing is done in the virtual world.
