I don't get the point that you are making here. What is the double-standard here?

As with just about every other prediction on this topic, there is no information to indicate that your prediction would come true. While Canada has its own standards, DJI drones used in Canada use the "FCC mode" for radio power settings. DJI has no reason to interfere with the use of its...

It's easy enough to spoof with a VPN to make that check useless. The GPS would be a bit harder to spoof,

When you have a president for life, they can play the long game. Congress running for election every 2 years prevents people from taking any position that could affect them 12 months later. The People's Republic has always viewed Taiwan as theirs. They are also smart enough to know that...

They would have no reason to do so. Not supporting existing customers is very different than not selling directly to new customers. There isn't a foolproof way to implement this that wouldn't risk affecting service to drones outside the US. Doing something that dumb would incentivize people...

And nothing to do with drones or the DJI security assessment.

The license plate link to home address is not public information. You can get it, but you are usually paying for it. With RID, you are getting the location of the person controlling the drone right at that moment. This is stoking the fears of a number of people on the forum.

And they would get more intel from the photos on the phone than from outdoor shots. What pharmaceutical information could you get from a drone that couldn't be collected from a satellite?

While the FAA does not have jurisdiction over indoor space, there may be local laws that apply. The company doing the hiring may have commercial drone insurance that only covers pilots with their Part 107. They could also be making the reasonable assumption that a person with their Part 107 is...

They can get all of that information from spy satellites or their idiot balloons. There is a bigger risk with their software on your phone.

When you install a Go or Fly app on Android, in order to use that app, you are granting that app wide access to your phone. It requests access to the microphone, camera, location, storage, network settings, etc. None of that is unexpected for what the app needs to do. When you couple that...

Amtrak-in-Chief, President Past-His-Bedtime He's no longer a player in this game.

It's too late for DJI to try to appease the Orange Autocrat of Avoidable Price Surges. Congress passed the bill with broad bipartisan support that will effectively ban DJI, and Biden signed it. An executive order signed by the president would not be able to override the terms defined by the...

That is completely false. New drones from DJI would get banned from two things under the purview of the FCC The FCC requires devices that emit radiofrequency (RF) energy to be authorized before they can be imported, marketed, or sold in the U.S.. This ensures they don't cause harmful...

That's not always true. The NDAs that I have signed have not prevented me from saying that I am under an NDA. Letting someone see hardware covered by that NDA would be a violation of that NDA. And the US is probably the last place a pre-release DJI drone would be floating around. A 1"...
