>An artillery shell is like $800. THAT's the competition for an FPV drone.

By the time it hits the ground target already moved, drone on the other hand will follow and allow you to aim at weak spots/soft targets of opportunity. That <$1000 drone IS your cheap Bonus round.

>mostly about harassment and both Ukraine and Russia know they are easy to jam and not particularly effective

30K dead russians every month is quite the harassment

>China and the USA do not intend to have "contested" airspace

everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. How many Reaper shot down by Houthis? 7? 9?


and their mil drones are subpar

>drones from the American company Skydio proved ineffective in Ukraine [notably, a Skydio drone was used by the U.S. Army to drop a combat grenade for the first time], as they were unreliable in front-line interference conditions.

>The problems with Skydio drones in Ukraine were reported last year, and the manufacturer acknowledged the poor quality of its products.

>According to Alex, a key issue with today's low-quality products is the "information gap among many European and American manufacturers about current battlefield conditions and the timing of when they receive this information."

Surprisingly

>Some of the most effective ones have included the German-made Vector drones and Polish-made FlyEye drones.


aliexpress CY7C68013A are fine. There are also clones made by Corebai CBM9002A and work the same https://hackaday.com/2024/04/15/logic-analyzers-decoding-and... https://corebai.com/en/usb-controller/cbm9002a-56scg.html A child of MIC2025 policy - pretty much everything got a Chinese 1:1 clone.

The sketchy part comes from no buffering/clamping/conditioning of inputs on those $5 "logic analyzer" ebay boards. Means you only get CMOS compatible signal levels* and might fry it with bad signal, but at prices like this https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005003649856071.html blowing a few is a non issue.

* meaning you need to know your probed signal will work beforehand, for example by verifying with a scope first.


>voted on top of repealing the affordable care act

Its much more stupid than this. People voted MAGA to get rid of Obamacare, but same dont even realize it IS the ACA. Jimmy Kimmel Live did whole bit around that in 2017 and it still holds true today.


Different indeed, like that time Jobs pushed U2 album into every iphone.

Steve Jobs died in 2011, that "Songs of Innocence" fiasco was in 2014.

You are right, I misremembered U2 branded iPod as that song debacle.

128D had 3 cpus :)

Videos of soldiers drinking from puddles when? Now that I think about it was this Putins idea implanted in mister president?

Its not great for morale.


Secret Service raid makes you the main character https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jackson_Games,_Inc._v._U...

I'm am aware of this raid and similar ones. It doesn't make you the main character or really that important. Whenever the EFF post something, I know it will be ignored by almost anyone that has power.

Arent M4 Airs already $800 on sale? Im afraid the low end model will again push 8GB ram.

Its the other way around, they throw hackers under the bus. Aaron Swartz, Star Simpson arrested for stupid LED brooch, the list is quite long https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7411868
