drones are and will be the game changer in our lives, not AI. and radio sec will be as important as ever

"The demonstrator weapon, a type of Radiofrequency Directed Energy Weapon (RF DEW), uses high-frequency radio waves to disrupt the electronic components inside drones [...] cost of 10p per shot fired, if developed into operational service it could provide a cost-effective complement to traditional missile-based air defence systems" https://www.gov.uk/government/news/british-soldiers-take-down-drone-swarm-in-groundbreaking-use-of-radio-wave-weapon

Ancient Stones, Modern Eyes: Drones Revolutionizing Europe's Historical Preservation
#technews24h #gadgets #DJI #drones #travel #technology https://www.technews24h.com/2025/04/ancient-stones-modern-eyes-drones.html

I was looking at cool aerial camera #drones. Seems like you can get stuff like the Ruko F11 DIM2 for like $200-$300. But it seems like I will need to go register with the FAA or something?

Anybody out there doing #drone #photography? Is it hard to get the license or whatever? Is it worth it? I’m mostly just wanting to fart around with it. But I don’t want to try to do the recreational flyer thing.

I’m of 2 minds: 1 giving any more info to a government agency right now seems kinda not great. 2. Have they fired the whole enforcement division so maybe it doesn’t matter?

Anybody have opinions? Feel free to boost.

Drone food delivery and airborne taxis are rapidly becoming realities in China, which wants to fly high on global markets by propelling companies operating in low-altitude airspace. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/04/18/world/china-low-altitude-economy-drones/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #geoeconomicbriefing #china #xijingping #drones #tech #defense #aviation

#Russians again hunting #Ukraine's civilian population tonight in several cities.

Here, in #Kharkiv, 17 Russian #drones targeted one residential neighborhood.

The U.S. military will deploy several long-range surveillance drones to Japan’s far-flung southwestern islands area near Taiwan, as the allies seek to counter China’s ramped-up drone presence in the same area. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/08/japan/us-triton-drones-okinawa/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #us #usmilitary #drones #okinawa #taiwan #china #pla #defense #usbases

Aprovecho la mudanza para volver a presentarme.

Holi! Soy el Bejarano, ya llevo un tiempo por aquí disfrutando de esta magnífica red social (ojalá este sea el futuro de todas las rrss).

Me considero una persona "demasiado" curiosa y con mil intereses, podría decirse que mi hobby es tener hobbies.

Suelo hablar un poco de todo: actualidad, política, tecnología, rol, etc.

De mis hobbies principales puedo destacar la impresión #3D, construir y volar #drones y el #rol narrativo (D&D, y Vieja escuela principalmente). Y mi recurrente y última afición viene en forma de agricultura tirando por la rama regenerativa, permacultura, etc.

Soy ingeniero informático de formación y programador de profesión aunque también mantengo varios proyectos #opensource... y los que quedan.

Me acompañan en mis aventuras las bichis (Gin y Lola) y señora esposa @csolete (estoy a ver si se abre cuenta por aquí je je)

Gracias por leerme, nos leemos por aquí.
