They'll be near-UV LEDs with a phosphor to produce white, high efficiency, low cost, but garbage long term.

A sheet of paper will generally manage ok for white balance calibration. A 3 tone grey card would be better, but a single, simple white will suffice

Drone flight is speech. If we're going all in on the 'tech companies must allow all speech' then this is what you need and get.

It's not that it's unwieldy, it's that cotton absorbs and holds onto water, so if you fall in water on a hike, or get soaked from a downpour, you're going to be stuck in cold, wet, pants. It is, however, possible to coa

Usually 'strings' on the binary shows up tell-tale signs. Granted that means the 'smart' infringers are likely to slip through the sieve, but at that point they'll have to essentially be re-writing the code anyway,
