You're talking about Drone Nerds above, but seemingly blaming their mishap on DJI. What am I missing?

Do you mean Drone Nerds dropped the ball? Prices still look the same in the DJI Store.

A new version of Flight Reader is available. Release 1.7.21 includes the following changes: Added new fields RTK.aircraftGeoidHeight [ft] and RTK.aircraftGeoidHeight [m] to display the geoid height offset at the aircraft’s location based on the EGM2008-1 geoid model. Renamed...

And that's the problem with propaganda. Those most influenced by it are often completely unaware. Since you're not in the US and aren't experiencing the effects of the government firsthand, where are you getting your information to connect those dots?

I can’t say if any of this is well thought out, as it appears to still be in progress. That said, after living in the US for many years, I can tell you with great confidence that our government never reveals its plans before they're carried out. If you think you've come across detailed plans...
