On Tuesday, Oct. 3, the Teepee at Coach's Corner will start being occupied 24/7 through the end of the MLB Playoffs. All proceeds go to Savannah-based charity.

Physical Appearance
Between the 2018 and 2020 iPad Pro models, there was only one real external difference between the two generations. While the 2018 model had a single camera, the 2020 upgraded it to a full camera bump and multiple cameras.
Other than that, the appearance was largely the same, using identical design language throughout. The dimensions were even identical across both sizes, at 9.74 inches by 7.02 inches for the 11-inch models, and 22.04 by 8.46 inches for the 12.9-inch versions. The thicknesses were the same at 0.23 inches apiece.
There were marginal weight differences, but we re talking a matter of grams between generations. For example, the 2018 11-inch iPad Pro weighed 1.03 pounds, while the 2020 variant was 1.04 pounds.
Researchers are working on a cabling system that could provide data transfer speeds multiple times faster than existing USB connections using an extremely thin polymer cable, in a system that echoes the design path of Thunderbolt.

Presented at the February IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference, the research aims to develop a connection type that offers far better connectivity than current methods. In part, it aims to accomplish this by replacing copper wiring with something else.
Copper is typically used for wires like USB and HDMI to handle data transfers, but it requires a lot of power to work for high levels of data transmission. There s a fundamental tradeoff between the amount of energy burned and the rate of information exchanged, said MIT alumni and lead author Jack Holloway.
