This article by TheRegister is worth a read

@nav it mentions these are supposedly industrial drones so I’m not sure how that affects your comments about battery life etc.

There’s also a link to this Dutch article @aboynamedgoo


which sadly states that training birds to take out drones was given up on as being far too expensive and time consuming compared to the number of times you need to stop a drone @laelfy

Sounds like the only thing to stop a bad guy with a drone will be a good guy with a drone (with a weapon). Reading through the points about collateral damage in the article, I’m imagining some kind of massive drone with a big claw grabber that would require hours of training in funfairs to get toys with the grabber to safely operate.

Don’t really understand what has been resolved here. Just them saying they have some special measures as backup? Chinny reckon!

Not the first time the Sydney Morning Herald’s shortening of SMH has seemed appropriate

‘Resolved’ in the sense that drone man got bored and went home or is back at work this morning or whatever.

Couple of months ago did a two day hike along the Great Wall of China. Very quiet and peaceful, except for the constant, high pitched buzzing of someone’s drone. Ban them now.

Guys the moment when we start talking about banning them is the moment they turn on us.

Reckon drones are the next step for people who take too many photos at gigs

Enjoying the fact that all these drone guns look like something a primary school kid would make out of a few cereal boxes and some black poster paint.
