You don't want military drones for consumer applications. Consumer drones are designed to last the length of warranty + 1 day. Military drones are designed to last long enough to deliver their cargo or provide essential intel. Because of their limited lifespan, some of them are made of cardboard https://www.defensenews.com/air/2023/09/13/cardboard-drone-vendor-retools-software-based-on-ukraine-war-hacks/ https://www.defensenews.com/air/2023/09/13/cardboard-drone-v...

- CapricornNoble 3y agoSOME parts of Reddit serve as useful aggregators for news that would otherwise be scattered across a dozen Telegram chat groups and 50 Twitter accounts. It's just important to recognize when you are in a DEEEP (and therefore not particularly useful) echo chamber. Admittedly, that can be difficult on Reddit where most the sub-Reddits that give an air of neutral impartiality are some of the most heavily censored and astroturfed.
