    Please read. Possible future for drone hobbyists

    I thought this thread was about policies that affect drone hobbyists, not the NRA and the 2nd ammendment? I guess I was wrong.

    Drone attack on Venezuelan President

    Given the Pentagon's technology management disarray, the success of ISIS drones is due to the lack of simple battlefield countermeasures. One of the messages in this thread is looking to the future, any battlefield countermeasures will become more and more difficult, given the "AI nonsense".

    Drone attack on Venezuelan President

    Not to introduce a dystopic element in this thread, but we're not far from AI driven autonomous drones with targeted face-rec and no external telemetry or GPS dependence. 'Slaughterbots' film shows potential horrors of killer drones. Worthy of another thread in another blog. Sorry for the hijack.

    Can someone read my flight records and tell me why my drone crashed?

    For whatever reason, I've not had luck with CsvView running under Windows 10. So if you're running on an Apple machine, yes DatPlot is out. DJI Assistant continues to be buggy. The file list seems to change and produces errors in the compression phase and I have to restart.
