Have you ever seen a modern landfill? For one thing they crush the contents by constantly rolling over it with a steamroller with spiked wheels that’s designed to shred & compact the trash as much as possible. Then there’s corrosive materials in the garbage that mixes with rainwater to create a leechate that will corrode other garbage as it seeps through it.

I’d be shocked if a standard hard drive could survive a decade in such an environment.

Next up, you’re going to have to register your drill press, lathe, etc.

I think you have it backwards. All Trump cares about us money, and compared to Musk, Trump is a pauper.

The excuse (at least given to the public) was that using the nukes would save the lives of allied soldiers. The Japanese army was more than willing to fight to the death, and Japanese citizens had been brainwashed into believing allied soldiers would rape, torture, and kill them. So in their eyes it was also better to fight the allies if they were able to.

Fun fact: the Titanic’s swimming pool was originally a salt water pool.

Why do these people think that literally everything boils down to a contract of some sort or other? And ones that nobody has ever seen, aside from their own chicken scratch?

DJI doesn’t track every one of the hundreds of thousands of drones they sell. And there’s no requirement that a drone even have an internet connection of anything like that.

[–] IphtashuFitz 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To enforce something like that you would have to force the drone to connect to some online database on a regular basis, and I don’t think that’s a thing. There’s certainly no requirement that drones only fly where there’s cellular or WiFi service.

I also know of at least one company using higher end DJI drones specifically for providing services to police & fire departments, so they’d have to have some way of opting them out of such geo locks.

I seriously doubt they’re carried further than that ditch right over there, if they’re lucky…

[–] IphtashuFitz 9 points 1 month ago

Exactly. If they’re returned they won’t be allowed anywhere near other North Korean troops. They’ll likely be returned immediately to the DPRK and sent to a labor/prison camp so they can’t talk to anybody that might listen.

The pain in the second foot will make me forget about the pain in the first foot.
