The Morning After: The drone that can fly for two hours straight
The worst part about flying a drone is not flying a drone when it's charging.
Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.
Good Tuesday morning! Heard about the drone that just keeps flying? How about a bumper crop of gaming news from the Tokyo Game Show? Sony showed off a new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3 and a bunch more games.
This flying battery drone can apparently hover non-stop for two hours
Impossible Aerospace's US-1 can get in the air and stay there. The startup's drone is aimed at emergency services and uses a battery structure made of several smaller power cells. The US-1 can fly at up to 42 MPH and has a maximum range of about 46 miles. Impossible Aerospace says the battery can also be charged in under an hour, so you could be back in the air quickly.

OnePlus 6T will include an in-display fingerprint reader
OnePlus' next phone will have an in-display fingerprint reader, according to reports.

It will add a secure unlock feature (unlike most phones' face unlock security) that doesn't clog up the smartphone face. It could well be the first mainstream phone to offer the feature.
