It's worth noting that, if you're on Windows and your pc and iPad are on the same wireless network, SpaceDesk will do the same thing for free and doesn't require a dongle. It runs as an additional...

Photographers today just don't appreciate the warmth and visual depth you get on removable spinning media. Sure, there are filters, but solid state just loses the impact and wonder that a floppy...

Why not both?

This really feels like the mask debate on the corporate stage. Apple already uses and makes devices using the USB-C interface. In fact, it's on nearly the entire range of their products, save the...

What is somewhat depressing is that the JWST won't see the same thing - it looks in an entirely different version of the spectrum. It's like having an old digital body that needs repairs and won't...

A quick reminder to those unfamiliar - dark matter has always been a question mark. We can make observations of the speed and expansion of the universe, and from those observations we can determine...

You just came here to watch the comment section implode, following years of "when a phone has a 1" sensor I'll buy it" crowd.

This will likely turn out the way California's dangerous substance act has, with everything simply being labeled as "retouched," the label likely reduced to an asterisk or symbol, the symbol will...

I mean, if it's only 0.0003% in the film emulsion, maybe they can just leave it out?

I suspect that the danger is not in the 40 micrograms in a canister's emulsion, but the 55 gallon drums of it...

If you can handle an extra $130 or so for the Part 107 exam fee, learn to read the basic data on a sectional map (good idea, since that's how you know where you can and cannot safely fly), and...

@JamesM46 I'm still having a problem finding the language that says that. The law, afaict, says you must have a part 107 license to fly, and there is an exception for recreational flyers. That...

And the requirement for Part 107 holders to have a TRUST cert is like getting a ticket for taking your rig or schoolbus to the 7-11 to get a slurpee because you were driving for recreational use. I...

@Ed - the implication is that if you hold a Part 107 commercial license (I do) and get "caught" flying purely recreationally (i.e. there is no clear commercial or potentially commercial purpose),...

"Even if someone possesses Part 107 certification, they must complete this training and show proof of it"

Do you have a link to that interpretation? Like, if I *might not* use a photo I took while...

FWIW, Class 2 rockets - anything over 125g of (only) slow-burning propellant, made of anything other than paper, wood, or breakable plastic, and weighing more than 1500g total at lift off - also...

@Thomas A Anderson - right out of Keanu Reeve's speech in "Parenthood".

The very first hit if you Google "what is the easiest way to get a 107 license" brings you to https://www.propelleraero.com/blog/getting-your-part-107-license-is-way-easier-than-you-think/ It's...

This is control [of] airspace.

See, it doesn't matter who the lackeys or profiteers are, the FAA is in charge of regulating airspace. Welcome to the world of every high power rocket flier for the...

@badi - it's also a revenue generation point, with DRM-encumbered battery management, so it is in their financial interest to change battery styles frequently so as to avoid anyone selling $12...

Based on the information in the summary, the testing was done as part of qualification to allow State Farm to operate drones for observation of crashes. It's not a terrible leap to take a drone...
