Interesting. It’s very possible he hasn’t updated, he’s not the most technical person.

Hey, are there any units that have a way to find them if you down them in a crop, or aftermarket beepers that can be activated remotely, or send gps coordinates? I’ve lost two cheap drones that I’ve downed and not been able to find, and probably ended up going through the combine.

That’s good to know. This was a problem when he was out last fall, so that’s changed since then.

I can’t say I guarantee it won’t do that but I haven’t been able to find indication that it is as intrusive as DJI that way. Maybe someone else can chime in if it does. I’d love to hear it.

There used to be a discount on condoms but it never got used.

Call customer support, say your 90yo dad is staying with you and you need to disable all wireless devices that will interfere with his medical devices.

I’m in a similar situation, needing a drone for scouting crops. I’ve been eyefucking the Potensic Atom 2, it seems to have good optics and a full gimbal camera. I need more range than you’re likely to need, but the GPS RTH would probably be useful for you.

It seems like a better value than a DJI and I’m suspicious of DJIs app features. I don’t need it shutting down because I’m too close to an airport that never gets used, and we have an agronomist that can’t use his DJI on some of our fields because of those restrictions.

This is all designed to drive the family farm out of business and make land cheap.

So I have a smart plug set up on my printer and print server (old HP 4P with separate network print server.

I have NodeRed watching my CUPS queues via HTTP scraping, and if it sees a job in the queue for that printer, it turns on the print server and printer via the smartplug over wifi. I have seen someone link a project that does something similiar.

So I guess we should be thanking these arseholes flicking their cigarette butts out the window on the highway…

I’ve had to dive for a fishing rod dropped over the edge of the boat. I guess it’s only fair, I remember my dad having to do the same.

To be fair, back when the first computer labs came around in schools, the only thing really available was the Apple II. Nothing else was terribly useful for teaching how to use a computer. It was only later in the 80s that the IBM PC came around and took over for a while.

Like this wasn’t Apple’s fault. Remember that ad where the kid doesn’t know what a “computer” was?

I lost my Chessie in April at age 12. We picked her up from the breeder when she was 6 weeks old and I held her as she died.

I had a dream a few nights ago that we were walking in the forest and she had a stick she’d keep bringing back and looking at me with those eyes that say “throw the damn stick, buddy, you know how this works”. Then I got to sit with her and run my fingers through the curls on her neck and woke up crying.

I’m so sorry for you, it’s hard to lose someone that would have laid their life down for you.

Water?

Never touch the stuff.

Fish fuck in it, doncha know?

Anyone that wants power and more than a couple screens.

K16S?

TACO

And nothing of value was lost.

My sparkling clean asshole. You could eat a steak off it.
