Tldw: last week Dev postulated this would be the first attempt to probe the courts because trans inmates are probably the least publicly visible group available for such an attack.

There's already a startup trying to get the FCC to give them half of the 915mhz band (meshtastic, smart home stuff, ELRS, ham radio) for a pay to win GPS alternative.

Blue marble is essentially an open source Google Earth desktop application. Idk if it's exactly what you want but it's not terrible.

OsmAnd is the same thing for Android and iOS and it's absolutely wonderful.

That's kinda what SAR sats do. They're using radio waves but they illuminate swaths of the planet with a big dish/array and then look at the reflections. LIDAR sats too.

Context?

Yeah that's the real answer...

Only if you unnecessarily include a ChatGPT voice assistant

Oh 100% magic. And SMT hot air soldering is voodoo magic

That's still an absurd amount given the context

The keep out databases are mostly nonsense, it's a big point of contention in the community. If you live near a random hospital helipad or municipal airport and try to fly in your backyard below the tree canopies with a drone with less mass than a bird you are still blocked.

They're the only hobbyist manufacturer with any scale. If you look at the Dedrone stats it's just entirely the DJI show followed by AUTEL by a mile and then DIY stuff. The DIY drones can be built from anything and can be trivially designed to avoid surveillance so you're not gonna get anywhere with them anyway.

Yeah the FPV community is way better because they actually have to know what they're doing mostly. They're mildly noncompliant but only regarding the regs that shouldn't apply to the size of stuff they fly; RID, registration, and BVLOS don't make sense for airframes lighter than a goose. They tend to avoid other people because they understand the public is wary of drones and they're wary of Karens and untrained cops. They put far more hours on their airframes than any of the other amateur operators but every single time I've been near a drone doing something dangerous, stupid, or annoying it was a DJI.

Just get the lead free solder and no clean flux, it's much less cancer

IDK, most of the kits require soldering (because the industry is fundamentally braindead) and if you go look at the various online communities, you'll quickly see that this is one hell of a filter.
