The Trump administration aims to deploy counterterrorism tools against far-left groups, even as it has offered little evidence they present a dire threat.
I note that the US has completely suppressed the pipeline for recruiting left-wing vandals, let alone terrorists.
Been thinking about long range drones a lot lately. Great for surveiling surrounding areas, and many other use cases
The “ghost gun” 3D printing laws going around had me thinking about “ghost drones”. I think a lot of the NDAA and FAA noise around drones is an attempt to gain control over domestic drone use. They’re criminalizing flying a drone within 1km of ICE activities - which is impossible to know or avoid.
But you don’t need an expensive flight controller, fancy ESC, or even brushless motors to get your basic drone in the air. An esp32, some mosfets, servos (for a wing), and brushed motors will get the job done. Will it compete in multiGP? Hell no. But it’ll fly and it’ll cost like $15.
Any chance there’s a good resource for how to build one of those ~$15 drones?
i wonder how large a drone would have to be to support a light-weight, but high RPM, 22lr gun? say printed in PA12CF, for instance.
