Microsoft's Recall — which snaps screenshots of your PC to create a databas...

Instead of typical drone joysticks, you get a motion controller that lets you point and shoot like video game gesture controls, while crisp FPV goggles put you right inside the cockpit. It’s easy to fly after takeoff, but the A1’s myr...

Up, down, up, down.
