Squicks. This is a new word, but I approve.

I actually fly these things as a hobby πŸ˜… it's telemetry data sent directly from the drone. The reason they are always low battery is probably because they fly them pretty far out to avoid getting detected and killed.

Once the battery hits 3.2V or so, you can really start feeling it in how the drone flies. It just doesn't have the power draw remaining for much else. Usually you land at that point to avoid destroying the battery, but in this case... You can fly it down to 2.8ish and still be in the air, but it won't like it and the battery will be damaged.

Battery was running low. If he could have lasted another 3 minutes or so he would have survived.

I've actually played this game with my brother before (with a small drone, no explosives lol). It is actually surprisingly fun.

Couldn't they just use cloudflare or something?

I'm just curious, how did you miss that? πŸ˜… It was the biggest story in tech like 6 months ago

Hey! So you may have noticed that you got downvoted into oblivion here. It is because of the unnecessary amount of negativity in your comment.

In communication, there are two parts - how it is delivered, and how it is received. In this interaction, you clearly stated your point: giving yourself the title of pro oftentimes means the person is not a pro.

What they received, however, is far different. They received: ugh this sweaty asshole is gatekeeping coding.

If your goal was to convince this person not to call themselves a pro going forward, this may have been a failed communication event.

I love how delusional people here are.

Joking lol but serious that it will never happen. Windows has waaay too much of a monopoly for that to never happen.

Like wtf, am I supposed to tell my mom to use the terminal to download ms word? Oh wait sorry you can use libre office! It's the same but...... Well it looks different. And isn't as functional.

Honestly Lemmy sucks because people here are all try-hard assholes who are incapable of seeing nuance. Anytime I comment on anything I somehow end up offending some segment of the Marxist left. Which baffles me because I'm rather far left as well, but they are too caught up in trying to prove I am an idiot to realize I'm literally on their side on 99% of topics.

It's pretty discouraging and I've kinda stopped wanting to interact here.

Taco trucks just park wherever they want and deliver delicious tacos to the world. Zoning laws be damned
