Per the CNN article being discussed elsewhere, there are basically 3 things that the DHS has suggested to do in regards to the security concerns for Chinese made drones:
1)Turning off the device's internet connection; and
2)Removing secure digital cards; and
3)To "understand how to properly operate and limit your device's access to networks" to avoid "theft of information."
I'm honestly not sure what any of these things mean. My device is off when it's off, it's wifi connected to my phone when in operation...so how do you 'turn off the device's internet connection'? What secure digital card can be removed? My micro-SD card? What is that? and what steps are needed to limit the network access? Would love if some expert provided a step by step to explain these things for a noob.
And please, keep this thread focused on the technical discussion of the hows and whens of implementation and not the more off-topic political side. Thank you.
