The Ingenuity Mars helicopter has successfully passed an important test. But there is no date for the first launch yet.
As you know, the first flight of the Ingenuity Martian helicopter was postponed due to the failure of one of the preliminary testing stages. More precisely, the stage of high-speed rotation of the screw.
As a result, on April 11, the flight did not take place, and NASA scientists said that they would try to solve the problem by updating the software. And yesterday it became known that the test was passed. By the way, it happened on Wilbur Wright’s birthday.
By the way, the scientists managed to do without reinstalling the helicopter software, limiting themselves to adding several new commands to the sequence of actions when passing the test. True, they can still update the software for the helicopter, but this takes time.
The first flight of Ingenuity will be quite short and test flight. In total, scientists are counting on five flights of 90 seconds maximum, but they assume that the helicopter, like many rovers, can work much longer. It is also worth noting that the helicopter itself in the pictures may seem quite tiny, since there are no guidelines for understanding the size. Ingenuity’s coaxial propellers are 1.2m in diameter and 0.8m in height.

The iPhone may finally have a feature that was still on the old Nokia smartphones. iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max may get Always On Display

Apple’s next generation of smartphones may finally get an important feature that has been on many Android phones for years. It’s about Always On Display.
In the current generation, in older models, Apple for the first time for the iPhone used displays with a higher frame rate. In particular, they can change the frequency from 10 to 120 Hz. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max may get screens that can drop down to 1Hz. And this will allow Apple to implement a very energy efficient version of the Always On Display.
Ross Young, founder of research firms Display Supply Chain Consultants and DisplaySearch, expects such a feature to actually arrive on the iPhone. Also, about a year ago, the appearance of this feature was also attributed to the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max, but for some reason Apple decided not to do this.
The Always On Display feature debuted on the Nokia 6303 feature phone in 2009, and then became more widespread on the Nokia smartphone with Simbian and Lumia devices.

Streaming Only – MSI’s New Compact PC Looks Like Xbox One S

Known for its outlandish design gaming PCs, MSI has released its latest creation, the MSI MAG Trident S 5M. And this model strongly resembles the Xbox One S console. For example, the new PC can be installed horizontally or vertically, its layout as a whole repeats the design of the gaming system from Microsoft. This applies to the placement of ports, cooling systems and the like.
However, the similarities end in appearance (except for the letter S in the title). MAG Trident S 5M is devoid of a discrete graphics card, so you can call it gaming only with a stretch. It uses a Ryzen 5000 processor – you can choose from Ryzen 7, 5 and 3 options with integrated Radeon graphics.
The novelty supports up to 64 GB of DDR4 RAM. The disk subsystem is represented by two M.2 slots for Gen 3 or 4 SSDs plus space for a hard drive. And all this is housed in a case with a volume of just over two liters. At the same time, we note that to increase the amount of RAM or replace drives, the case can be easily opened.
Among other features, we note three video outputs (one each HDMI 2.0, DP 1.4 and VGA), as well as a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 15 W port on the front panel for fast charging smartphones or tablets.
MSI is positioning its PC as a gaming console for streaming games that can be installed in the living room. Declared support for Steam Remote, MSI App player and Xbox Game Pass. The OS is Windows 11.
Note that for the first time the novelty was shown at the beginning of this year at CES 2022.
