They can be useful, but you won’tbe able to buy heart of this hardware offline with cash, mentioned lidars for example. Also it needs to be big-ish, while training or recreational drones barely bigger than tiny whoop with small battery and <50 grams of explosive and some shrapnel can do the trick. They can be printed or made locally from sheets, motors are common, with correctly configured PIDs and other parameters they can be not very loud, flight controllers cost almost nothing and can be found locally, etc., etc.

They don’t advertise anything about rescue of anyone in the post, obvious use case is marathons and other sports.
For military uses it’s semi useless. Lidars are expensive, can be easily seen by intended targets. Actual combat single use drones are flying without any gps most of the time, you can easily achieve last meters where you can’t see or control a drone with raspberry pi and a camera (easy, cheap, requires little expertise, triggered by switch on a radio).
Not really, gps isn’t all that reliable, when you are using consumer gps modules. When used in conjunction with other navigation systems in places where there is no gnss spoofing or jamming (which can be done by average individual and require little expenses) it works great.
Armed is a common word for a drone that has it’s motors working.
Yelled is a very loud word for what it is, it’s barely a whisper.

Yea, I’ve seen it when it was still available and there are other file managers with similar modes, it just doesn’t make sense to me, that’s it.
Cool, still have no idea how people used this.

1·9 days agoI have a thinkpad p1 g5, it supports both, I’ve tried to use newer one and it required me to tinker with it, it still consumed more power and there was always a worry about leaving it. s2ram just works, reliably.

3·9 days agoNewer laptops have a different sleep mechanism called modern suspend (s0ix/s2idle) it doesn’t work at all, you can find your laptop hot as hell and almost discharged after a few hours of sleep. Or it will just never go into sleep.

2·10 days agoYou haven’t had an experience with modern suspend, at best you’ll get 10% by morning, probably it will just discharge completely in 5 to 8 hours.
It looks like default element with minor changes and dark theme.

Yep, they are.
Just recently there was an article here, where a person claimed that recommended python tooling is inadequate because they needes to read two paragraphs of documentation. Endemic problem really.
It’s fine actually, all of the problemswith python packaging and env are overblown to insane degree.
Yeah, absolute nightmare of writing
pipx install programname.

They are sorta, you are just looking at the wrong ones, 3b+ and 4b with 1 gb of ram are still pretty cheap, older ones are even cheaper.
