Click For Summary
The Apple Pencil 2 operates using inductive charging, facilitated by a magnetic attachment to the iPad Pro, which eliminates the need for a Lightning port. It connects to the iPad via Bluetooth for communication. The tip of the Apple Pencil is conductive, similar to a finger, allowing it to interact with the iPad's touchscreen. The precise location detection likely relies on a sensing grid beneath the iPad's display, a feature not present in the iPhone.

I think the magnetic clip attaches the pencil 2 to the iPad. It uses inductive charging since there is no lightning port on the new iPads and the pencil 2.

Communcationwise, it uses bluetooth to connect to the ipad. The tip is conductive like your finger. I’m not sure exactly, how it figures out location but there must be a sensing grid beneath the display of the iPad something the iPhone doesn’t have.

 

Thread 'Another trick with Blender using geometry nodes'

After playing around a bit with making star maps, I found another video which introduced me to another trick that can be done using geometry nodes. This one involves fluids. For background, Blender has a fluid physics simulator, which, as the name suggests simulates the behavior of fluids. What this person did was to use geometry nodes to convert the fluid into a point cloud. Then he added a turbulence force field to "stir it around". He was then able to extract the velocity information...
