DJI Mavic Pro Platinum – Longer And Quieter Flights
Drones, and DJI specifically, have come a long way in the last few years. Flight distances, telemetry, obstacle avoidance, silky smooth gimbals, high quality cameras, and size reduction are just a few of the areas that have improved massively.

Why I Will Never Buy A Roomba
The resident iRobot a-hole CEO, Colin Angle, recently made a statement that the company may begin selling customers house floor plans.

Free Robot Lawyer
A Junior at Stanford University, Joshua Browder, has developed a chatbot called DoNotPay that uses artificial intelligence to dispense free legal assistance. While I am not sure I would call this AI, more like a templated search engine, it is pretty neat. Joshua claims that DoNotPay has helped people defeat more than 375,000 parking tickets […]
