I'm glad we aren't incentivized. It allows for this ultimate litmus to take place. I will literally go shopping with dates to figure this out.

My bad, you are correct πŸ‘

Ah man, yeah the switch to digital can get expensive. I got lucky and bought the skyzone cobra x goggles when I first got into the hobby - they have an HDMI input, so all I needed to buy was the HDZero adapter. Still pricy but half the price of the HDZero goggles ha

Yeah the cheapest I'd ever recommend anyone go is probably about $100 for one with an analog video signal.

HDZero video with ExpressLRS control link is the new meta though. Off the shelf drones with this setup start around $180 or so now, not including the controller or goggles.

If anyone is looking at getting into the hobby, I'd recommend getting the EMAX tinyhawk 3 kit to start. It comes with everything for about $270.

Can you imagine how exciting it would be though when this actually started to work? This probably started as a side project, with a dude saying like, nahhh this could never work.

Until suddenly it did

If I have mastodon, how and when can I follow Blue sky users? I read something about an adapter server or something, but I don't know what that means in a practical sense.

Just checked, looks like they are wired. I get it for certain games, but generally I prefer the convenience of wireless.

200 sounds like a big number, but out of how many? Is this 1%, 10%? Numbers like this without their context are kind of meaningless.

... Would they know, if it's via a VPN?

Nah dude the red squiggly lines are actually CIA backdoors

[–] figaro@lemdro.id 2 points 2 months ago

Same. I'm playing a ton more games I had previously just sorta forgotten about.
