LOL. Set up a dock/charging station and you wouldn’t even have to look outside to see if you need it. :)

I know that was meant as a joke, but an extra $10 in parts for a bluetooth radio and an hour of app coding could make that happen.

It’s been on Chroma for a long time too.

Unless the pilot was flying the drone front his front yard, the best the police could hope for is to find his last known position while actively operating the aircraft- and that’s assuming it stored a log of GPS activity in non-volatile memory.

So, this may seem pedantic, but anything that’s actually a “drone” almost certainly has some form of GPS, because the word “drone” implies autonomous functionality, and consumer model drones use GPS to fly themselves to waypoints or back to a controller if they lose the signal.

Was this crazy full-screen dash panel on the previous model? If not, that seems like a fairly noteworthy upgrade. Not the “infotainment panel”, the one behind the steering wheel.

It’s worded poorly since it continues the topic from the previous question, but he’s not a cannibal. He was assisting a person who did nullification surgery, at an event where he cooked and ate animal testicles. Otherwise they would have been served with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Ha. You’re right. A better example would be to use your previous analogy. Calling any RC craft that flies a drone is like calling all recorded sound EDM, and saying that music and saxophones are types of EDM. It’s completely incorrect, but if enough people say it enough times they’ll all know what they mean.

If fish is a commonly used term for something that moves through water, then both dolphin and boat are types of fish. Nobody makes that mistake, because they took a few minutes to learn what makes them different. There’s really no reason we need to allow people to get confused over what makes something a UAV or a…

Thanks for illustrating my point, unintentionally as it may be. Quad-copter is not a type of drone, that term simply describes the physical structure of an aircraft the same way that airplane and helicopter does. UAV is not a type of drone, that simply describes any aircraft without a person inside flying it. EVERY…

It’s a matter of semantics, but the meaning of the word doesn’t change just because nearly everyone everywhere uses it incorrectly. If you listen to the people who sell and operate consumer/hobbyist UAVs, nobody calls it a drone. The term is exclusively used by people who don’t know any better (which is most people).…

It is when you’re ascending a near-vertical pile of dirt.

That’s not the same thing. “Drone” refers specifically to autonomous craft that operate without human piloting. A UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) is simply an aircraft without a human inside. All aerial drones are UAV; not all UAV are drones. Many consumer UAV have drone-like modes, such as when they autonomously…

Meh, it’s part of the public lexicon now. Anything that flies and doesn’t look like an airplane or helicopter gets called a drone, autonomous or otherwise.

Not a single monitor with some form of Adaptive Sync (Gsync/Freesync)? That’s pretty much a requirement for gaming monitors at the moment, since you’re not going to be gaming in 4k at a solid 60fps unless you turn the quality way down. A pair of GTX 980 ti ‘s can do it most (but not all) of the time, and that’s $1300…

Yeah, Win 10 is great unless you happen to use both an NVIDIA card and Chrome.

I appreciate the sentiment, genuine or otherwise. Since we’ve gotten this far in the conversation, I have to ask- are there some particularly offensively expensive repair or maintenance events that you would anticipate for this particular model, that wouldn’t be considered standard maintenance or covered under a…
