They wouldn't want to use a firearm for that. Might get guns banned...

Be thankful that consumer/hobbyist drones haven't been banned entirely already (banning other model aircraft along with them as collateral damage). Especially after all the footage of essentially-hobby-grade drones with familiar o

But if you could control the DJI drone with some other transmitter, perhaps running OpenTX, and also replaced the video downlink, then there'd be no DJI hardware using those frequencies.

"Within that bill is a small section that bans DJI from using the FCC frequencies" So DJI drones as a whole aren't banned, just the parts that transmit?

There is also a perspective that the worryingly popular ‘silence all dissent’ mentality is vastly more of a threat to democracy than anything Elon has done.

Growing up in the 80s, kids usually weren’t diagnosed with autism unless it was severe. There’s no cure/medication, so seeking an official diagnosis is of no real benefit. But many people eventually connect the dots as adults, maybe do

It's about reducing latency between input and output more than improving emulation precision.

Rich Americans can buy a Tesla, solar panels, heat pump and give up meat, and feel like they’re making a difference. But there’s several billion people without those options. Who’d all love to consume like rich Americans if they had the cha

Precisely specifying desired functionality of software in ‘plain English’ is hard. Especially if you can’t provide diagrams, sketches, mocked-up screen layouts, etc. Also, the low-code/no-code tools allow precise editing. With current

In these cases, it still seems that tablet-based tools are very much 'secondary tools', more of a sketchpad to fiddle with ideas while on the move, rather than 'production tools'. Then there's the whole dealing with

Why would you want greasy finger marks on your Macbook screen? Not much point having a touchscreen on a Macbook (or any laptop really), unless the hardware has a 'tablet mode' with a detachable or fold-away keyboard.

At this point, there's two fundamentally different types of computing that will likely never be mergeable in a satisfactory way. We now have 'content consumption platforms' and 'content creation platforms'. While at

In a world concerned with climate change, we should see many of these 'appliances' as inherently wasteful. On top of the ugly reality that they're designed to become e-waste as soon as the battery degrades.

Indie game devs gave up on mobile almost a decade ago, when the F2P wrecking ball swung its way through mobile gaming. (Have the top games even changed since then? some variant of Clash of Credit Cards dominating?)
