maybe someone finally told them they don't control the airspace above property and this law couldn't survive litigation?

interesting that you bring this up. My parents built a new house 37 years ago in what used to be farm land. Uncle next door, and friends on the other side - all on acreage. Not long after their house was built a guy showed up with aerial photos of the house looking to sell them. Clearly this...

*regardless. :)

Well that last result is squarely on the current admin.

People fly drones in all kinds of places, even illegal ones. Your drone connects back to your phone while you fly it. There are ways for phones to be hacked to send stuff off of them without you ever knowing it. It is a very likely scenario to use AI to scan massive amounts of info in real time...

I’ve noticed the same mentality, but it’s nationwide. What I do for a living makes me very aware and concerned with how integrated we are with our most dangerous enemy. But most Americans want their cheap junk off Amazon (much of which is a Chinese knock off of American-designed products...

Japan was not a military enemy. China most certainly is and much of what they do is to undermine our military might and. Hold theirs up. They are also buying real estate, farms, etc and can do things to hobble us from within our own country.

You covered it all exactly. I’m amazed how ignorant most Americans are to this reality and how so many American companies are fully in bed with a country that is as much an enemy of ours as the USSR was.

I assume that’s a phone. I’d recommend rotating 90deg to actually film correctly for how our eyes are designed and to capture more of the subject without so much panning.

Totally agree. I have an original magic pro and an old Mac. Don’t update anything if it’s all working!

exactly right. it is maddening and extremely frustrating. This is another reason why China is beating the western nations. They will make token statements about carbon neutrality, emissions, etc, but they will do NONE of that if it hurts them economically or technologically. But in the U.S...

Totally agree with what you said - all good adds. The US govt ,and all of its agencies, and many unions are literally the death knell for advancement in this country. Whether it be because of the asinine govt regulations, or because the political climate forces companies to waste valuable...

Part one introduced it's own FUD and didn't really contribute to the overall discussion. Part two has the most useful stuff "Other Potential Actions Besides Bans and Lobbyists". Part three points out some of the reality - America (other than in raw computers) has dropped the ball on...

It's very different for an American company with very tight manufacturing controls vs a fully-owned Chinese company that can do whatever they want. Who has proved the DJI isn't gathering data and sending it somewhere?

Glad i still have my Mavic Pro
