Every now and then I consider getting back into skateboarding but then I wisely remember this.

My designs are bad but I don’t have a youtube channel.
Regulating AI like this is very cool and good.
I have been informed that Russia regularly attacks their own positions, shells their own soldiers, and destroys any territory that they intend to keep.
Basically everyone who is allowed to use a DJI will use one. They’re great drones and far cheaper than anything domestically produced. It’s not even a close competition.
This is being sold as a security measure, but it’s really a heavily-lobbied economic measure to benefit a single American drone company. Skydio, DJI’s largest American competitor, can’t compete with cheap Chinese drones used for commercial purposes like farming and surveying, so over the last two years they have spent over a million dollars on lobbying efforts to take out their rival. https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/clients/summary?cycle=2022&id=D000086902
Skydio drones are expensive, and the company has deep ties with American, British, and Israeli militaries. They have also completely pulled out of the consumer market, focusing purely on commercial and military drones, so a DJI ban will be a serious blow to drone hobbyists, independent professional pilots, and smaller companies that can’t afford to pay thousands of dollars for a drone that they used to be able to get for $400-$1000.
Ukraine is using flamethrower drones to light up trenches now
Didn’t know that was allowed but apparently it is. How long till mustard gas makes a comeback? Acid drones maybe, like those Israeli settlers used on Palestinians recently?
I had no idea and it is very upsetting.
Jfc this is the most doomer thing I’ve seen all year.
I began studying for my part 107 commercial drone license. It’s a pretty casual process, but I need to do it if I want to legally* film protest footage for my party.
*Illegally isn’t an option when modern drones are constantly broadcasting the location of the pilot to anyone with a cell phone. Fuck Remote ID.
What of the people who lived in Crimea prior to 2014? No peace for them? I thought these were supposed to be Ukrainians living under occupation, why is their own country threatening them?
Most figs you get in the store are not pollinated by fig wasps.
I thought Crimes was supposed to be Ukrainian. Why is Ukraine using cluster munitions on their own civilians???
The only thing the Hong Kong protests accomplished was allowing a murderer to go free https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Poon_Hiu-wing

Hey this was a few days ago and it’s taken me a ton of troubleshooting, but I just got this to work. I no longer have anything tethering me to Windows. Thanks so much.
Thanks comrade, I’m gonna fuss with this tonight and see if I can get it working.
I just installed Mint and I’m enjoying it so far, except that I regularly use some programs that just do not work with Linux, even using various workarounds. I’m going to be dual booting windows basically just because I need Fusion 360 for my CAD work and open-source equivalents aren’t nearly as good.
An AAA battery is 1.5v. A 1S lipo battery is 3.7v and very tiny. Also very unstable if you want it to be. A small lipo and a little bit of explosive sounds about right.
