Comment Another danger to birds (Score 2) 95

And larger slower moving blades would be less dangerous too? Not to mention that wind power kills far less birds than the pollution from other types of energy production does.

Domestic cats are much more of a danger to birds than wind turbines.

It has also been shown that painting wind turbine blades can mitigate bird kills.

Something like 80% of all causalities in the war right now are coming from drones.

Source?

That's a bold claim.

There are many ways around jamming

The article I linked to speaks about that. Essentially: Yes. But: Not the cheap stuff used, and stuff like fiber optics come with their own drawbacks.

(unsure which "cheaper" weapons you believe exist...drones are dirt cheap)

The article I linked to includes prices.

according to the Wall Street Journal

Meanwhile, some reports from the frontlines indicate that while drones are ubiquituous, they aren't the game-changer the tech-industry wants them to be.

tl;dr essential bits: a) most drone strikes could have been done by other, cheaper weapons. b) drones are an unreliable weapon due to jamming, dependency on weather and light and many technical failures.

MoonPlayer justifies the entire price of the Apple Vision Pro. There you go, a single app makes the whole thing worthwhile. Another one would be the YouTube safari extension enabling you to watch YouTube on a 20 foot screen. Itâ(TM)s knock your socks off amazing. Spatial photos in the Apple Photos app are incredible. The environments are pretty phenomenal too.

Ridiculous argument. Absolutely nobody uses HoloLens. And the fov of HoloLens was useless.Vision Pro has a wide fov by comparison and FoV is certainly not a weak spot. Vision Pro has an active user base and itâ(TM)s selling fast enough to be profitable this year⦠paying for 8 years of development in just a year or two.
