Oh snap. I have the original DJI mini. Are they banning them?
Discussion
They like to talk about it, but I'm unsure. We will see what they do w tictok first. All very long time frames and posturing π
But that won't stop me from joking about it. Where's my US drones pls #dronelife
More data points is they already banned the app, so if you fly with your phone (I don't) it's like a 500mb APK)
Oh yea I do usually fly with my phone. I guess itβs time to ride it into the night.
My phones usbC died cause I didn't get a silicon plug for pocket lint π€¦ββοΈ and then I also decided the dedicated controller was better anyway cause -500 meg of #ccp spyware ππ¦π§¨
haha, damn...
i've got usb-c dummy plugs coming in the mail soon... yeah i've had this problem with a few usb micros over the years and i hate it
the usb micro to usb C transition gave us nothing of value except reversible
the design of the apple plug was better, and my yubikeys, i have two, the usb C and usb A kind and the usb A kind has no serious risk of problems in this kind of way, and the size of usb A socket is such that such guff is easy to remove, and corrosion is unlikely to grow big enough to bridge the lines
this is what the eurocrats gave us - convenience - reversibility, but no actual increase in durability or utility, as with the apple style connector
it's insane, because literally, it just requires like 3 components in the plug side to switch off the power to one side or the other depending on where the ground contacts
Yep I usually get by with wireless charge. But, then when you need the USB 2-3-4 years in its.ded. cause I didn't protec it enough
u muss protecc
I have found the plugs now π€¦ββοΈ
the replacement operation is not usually that expensive... i had a phone fixed in Budapest that got gunked or otherwise messed up (micro) for 20 euros
but it's avoidable and in the circumstances i was mostly not plugging it into a charger
the simple fact is that usb micro, and to a similar but maybe lesser extent, usb C is just fucking shit design, a bunch of wires embedded in some plastic, when much more robust and time proven is the old printed circuit board etched off regime, like the apple style
