finitebanjo,

DJI is some kind of drone company, no idea what the acronym stands for but idgaf.

paraphrand,

This is a weird response to the drone hysteria in New Jersey.

also as if the drone hysteria was just right wing clownery

ZILtoid1991,

Replace the plastic blades with sharpened metal ones, and you got yourself an anti-personnel terrorism machine.

Etterra,

This will last exactly as long as it takes somebody to fly a drone into the side of the White House. Not any kind of special drone, just some idiot trying to get a cool shot for their YouTube channel.

DJI pilots are either very skilled professionals or inconsiderate wannabe photographers. Freestyle quad pilots rule.

dual_sport_dork,

So, just like how pretty much every other drone manufacturers drones already work. Somehow people only give DJI shit over this and develop a curious blind spot about everybody else.

It is trivially easy for anyone with thumbs to kit-build a drone with no regulatory compliance whatsoever, in nearly any size, with absurd range and capabilities, for just a few hundred dollars. Despite that state of affairs having been the case for years, this has mysteriously failed to cause the Earth to fall out of its orbit into the sun.

They were about the only hobbyist level drone manufacturer that was doing any sort of geofencing at all. Unsurprising they stopped when none of the other companies saw repercussions for not doing it.
