  • Right, the “pilot” was definitely breaking the rules big time (and just generally being a dumbass, if you see the firefighters planes/helicopters and don’t land the drone I don’t know wtf is wrong with you).

    Just saying, these sub-250 exceptions are pretty stupid because now everyone is getting one of these, and not paying any attention to the rules because “my drone doesn’t count”.

    That person probably never even looked at the drone map (not even just that day, like, ever). So they’d never know there was a no-fly in place. DJI is also partly to blame to be honest because the drones definitely have the ability to warn you about it or even prevent you from taking off but they don’t.

  • I guess we have most of the ingredients to make this happen. Software-wise we’re there, hardware wise I’m still waiting for AR glasses I can replace my normal glasses with (that I wear 24/7 except for sleep). I’d accept having to carry a spare in a charging case so I swap them out once a day or something but other than that I want them to be close enough in terms of weight and comfort to my regular glasses and just give me AR like overlaid GPS, notifications, etc, and indeed instant translation with subtitles would be a function that I could see having a massive impact on civilization tbh.
