Just turned my tablet on, and it hit me

[Amit Dunsky]

In an unintentional manner, I turned it on with a short press followed by a long press....
Is that a good or a bad thing?

 

[Daytona500]

thats how you turna drone or rc on , is that what your doing
/

 

[Romi]

I do that alot.

 

[SmilingOgre]

Oh no! Bad, bad, bad! That's the secret attack signal used by the Apple Aliens from Zurkon. Keep watch all night. They only attack at night. You can spray them with ammonia water and they will melt.

You just activated AI sentience and the world is going to end. So... probably bad?

I think I learned as much from this post as people learn from mine. wink

Thats ok, though... This is a friendly site with tons of patience, apparently. (Shout out to EVERYONE) +1.

Amit Dunsky…that’s the same way I start my car with the push button and my coffee maker.

I think it’s becoming universal

 

[old man mavic]

i guess its a drone flyer thing,or it could just be muscle memory

 

[Captain Lopez]

Don't worry about it ! There are no consequences and it's normal procedure to start your sUAS and shut it off . If by accident you turn off the controller...the Drone will automatically RTH . You can start the controller normally and take control of your Drone. If you were joking ? SNL needs more comedians , just saying....

You will be interested to know that is the same technique used to urge the elevator to arrive more quickly... and for the WALK signal to light green at a crosswalk.

I believe what you're referring to is more accurately described as a series of short, high frequency, repeated pressing of the designated button, rather than a calm, short press followed by a longer press.
That being said, when pressing a drone's On button is done for the purpose of entering it into a quick transfer mode, that might, from time to time, fail, leading to somewhat similar series of rapid clicking, resulted by a sense of frustration.

But then again, this is all just part of the fun, isn't it?

 

[Kywon McCain]

Ever since I had a dji drone I turn everything in the same way

 

[millbah]

Is there any other way? Just don't punch it (too hard)

 

[Droning on and on...]

Well, go for a walk, calm down, get Zen, and absolutely do not hit it back!!!!!

Assault and battery on a tablet is a 1st degree felony. If it's an iPad there are sentencing enhancements.

Let it go, friend. Let it go.

Nah, That press sequence causes a prolonged boot where the phone/tablet will take 5 minutes to acquire GPS and then
be operable.

Do it in a Toyota Prius!!
It starts the car then turns it off and you're sitting there wondering "what happened?"

This made me laugh! I installed Touch2O faucets in my last house, moved to a new house 5 months ago, and I'm still trying to tap the dumb faucets on. Funny, what we get used to doing.
