Whilst there may be some inefficient bureaucracy in large orgs, I’m tempted to offer the following proposition: Companies that are absolutely at the forefront of AI, must be by definition, doing terrible things wrt privacy & security.

For “net” positive you have to consider the broader downsides. Energy consumption, for example. Or change in incentives for producing original writing. Etc etc. I don’t think we fully comprehend the negatives yet (or, to be fair, the positi

> No, they weren't Yea they were. The model T was plenty safe simply because it wasn’t fast enough to be a significant danger. The point is, claiming that “we used to do X and it was fine” is a weak argument. Times change.

Exactly my point. “that can be established without having a dedicated physical space for that” … for you.

I disagree. Physical space and distance helps, a lot. I can’t explain why, but the commute home helps establish a different psychological setting.

Crypto doesn’t change the game. Products that generate passwords should do so securely. You may be using it to protect extremely sensitive information that could have people killed - that’s more important than a few million dollars in imagi

Unfortunately, I highly doubt there will be any material PR backlash. Ask 100 Samsung owners on the street how the ifixit repair ability relationship impacts them, and 99 will ask what ifixit is, and what repairability means. The other one

DJI make the best easy to use quads that are basically GoPros that can be positioned anywhere in three dimension space at command. If you have a vlog about how you’re going off grid or hiking the Appalachian trail, that’s what you should us

Yeah, DJI clearly owns the video space for FPV, with the exception of racing and a lot of freestyle where latency is king, so HDZero or analog rules.

Depends what type of video, doesn’t it? I’m surely biased but whenever I see people working on high-end film sets they’re using serious cinelifters, and even for property filming you typically see cinewhoops, and for action sport (motocross

Once you step outside of DJI there’s so much variety, what do you want to do? If you’re learning to fly FPV, get a betafpv all inclusive kit like the cetus series - that’s what I started on. Eventually though, if you’re flying hard you’ll c

I’d avoid the DJI controller if you want to truly get into FPV. Eventually you’ll want to fly non-DJI quads (eg the o3 air units are too heavy for whoops, so you’ll be analog or HDZero) so stick with ELRS. The arguably best all rounder cont

Do you live in a city? In rural areas, having strong bonds is much, much more common. Also, not everyone is doing the apps and millions of options thing. You may be looking in the wrong places.

Have you considered talking to a therapist? It sounds like the problem here is you. It’s not desirable to have enemies, why would you wish that? If you’re doing something that some portion of the population disapprove of, that’s one thing.

Heat signature. RF when it does transmit. If it’s hidden in a metal frame then it’s not going to get a good GNSS fix. And if you’re doing a deep sleep you’re powering down your GNSS module so not getting a proper warm fix.

You’ve made so many bad assumptions I don’t know where to start. What if you need seats for 5? What if you care about the environment but also want to have fun? What if it’s about the acceleration of an EV that is enticing?
