A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If we could get autonomous drones, I would have one hold up an umbrella to shield me from the sun at all times as I walk around, lol!

I used mine to inspect the solar panels on our roof - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2017/03/inspecting-solar-panels-using-a-drone/

I wanted to see if they were covered in bird shit. They weren't.

Note when I did this, it was legal to fly a drone that close to private property. I don't think it still is.

I did exactly this, and also checked on the status of my gutters. My roof is 40ft above street level, and it’s scary to climb up there myself.
