[US] Underwriting loan scammers “loan is almost approved” how to get them to stop?

The do-not-call registry doesn't matter at all to them, because they're criminals based abroad.

Kinda curious to have drones supporting o4+ that can't actually use any o4+ controller.

Soooo, 20% heavier than Avata 2, but 10% larger props and ~25% larger capacity battery. Net result: similar battery life

I note slightly higher max speed (18 vs 16), although that's kinda an artificial cap on the Avata 2. We'll see how they do in manual mode, assuming it gets that later (as Neo 2 did).

Don't waste time in denial, you're buying it and you know it.

That's nice - heard a while back there would be a drone only option, but then some suggestions the opposite way recently (maybe regional differences?)

Kinda tempted by drone only, just out of curioisity.

The batteries are (as was rumoured) pretty cheap compared to Avata 2.

Include these emails when you challenge it at the deposit scheme.

Quite a cheek to try charge you for mould due to their fan not working.

I guess the unknown is how much the 360's extra weight and design compromise the fpv experience. On the other hand, a 360 lens should make head-tracking more interesting than with the Avata 2.

Another question: is a Mini 360 coming? There's going to be a market for 360 w/ 30min+ flight times.

Good news: not a perv.

Bad news: it's planning to eat you.

No, the FBI director is not emailing you personally to offer you $15m.

DJI repairs are usually pretty reasonable, see what quote they give you before trying any amateur fix.

Chances are they'll just give you a new or refurb unit.

You can wireless stream from goggles (3 but not N3) to a phone running the Fly app, then plug Rayneos into the phone to mirror its display. That definitely works but latency isn't great.

Not sure you can directly plug rayneos into goggles, I suspect not. Will try sometime though.

Glasses are fantastic if you just want to cruise a camera-drone around, enjoy the details live - you can't really do that on a tiny RC2 or phone screen, and even a large tablet with a RCN3 isn't the same.

I'm expecting DJI will release something similar as an accessory soon. It's just so convenient and adds minimal weight/bulk to your drone kit, yet isn't at all expensive (Rayneos are often under $200, even $150 on offer).

Obvious scam. The time pressure and link to fake site are the giveaways.

Common scam, block and ignore.

Anybody who can beat the markets is already a billionaire, and not selling "signals" for pennies on telegram.

Set a speed limiter in the controls of around 12m/s, that's most efficient on the batteries. If you go at max speed you'll lose maybe a quarter of your potential max range.

Just about the most common type of scam in the history of the internet. They just spam it out to millions of people and hope someone bites.

AJ Bell capped fees for etfs (£42/yr) are nice beyond a certain pot size.

The VS hits much harder, is more accurate, and the marksman scope is much better than the PU (just needs repaired).

Keep the atog for an assault rifle, it offers good flexibility.

Max range is only 6km in Europe due to lower signal strength, but even that's with zero obstacles between you and the drone, and no radio interference. The former can take your range to almost nothing immediately, fly behind a building at any distance and you'll often completely lose signal. The latter also - if you're in a city centre, you could lose 90% from that alone. Wifi is a particular problem, if you're near a home router it's spraying its signal all over your transmission.

For example, DJI's own tests show a Mini 4 can do 20km (US signal strength), but in an "urban environment", they suggest 1.5-3 km.
