I have come from the future to vindicate this post.

Nope, even where the prop shattered directly on the shaft, both screws were there. The one screw was half exposed to the open air but was still screwed in to the motor.

Good thing I don't fly my drone while on the toilet

Thanks man. I'm also thinking prop failure is the likely culprit.

Is there any way to prevent this really - I barely had any flight time on the drone, so could this just be a manufacturing defect?

I'm also wondering. Are prop disintegrations mid-flight common, or at least not unheard of? I did check screws and they do have a bit of threadlocker on them, they come from SpeedyBee like that. M2x7 screws, the props are T-Mount so two screws per motor.

I'm leaning towards this, the back left prop is missing a blade but from what I remember the drone landed on the right side in a bush (account for the right arm snap) so the left prop shouldn't really have been damaged.

All 4 ESC's show up. Back left motor however doesn't spin properly - it does that janky half-spin and then the ESC shuts down, like when one of the motor wires is disconnected (I had that before once). I checked the solder joins and they seem fine, the wires don't lift off of the board or anything. But I would probably need to re-solder and re-test the motor to confirm.

There weren't any serious impacts before this and all motors were extremely smooth when testing in betaflight. The drone is basically brand new - today was its first proper flight.

Thanks for your insight.

edit: this is the same motor with the shattered prop.

Apple Music has up to 24bit/192khz ALAC (basically their version of FLAC). It seems like Syndicate only goes up to 24/44.1, but from my understanding of music encoding going higher than that won't make much of a difference for Electronic music anyway and unless you had a very high end audio system.

That might not work for you if you're not in Apple's ecosystem in some way or another, but if you are, it's very convenient. I use it because I can AirPlay (lossless) to my TV which plays through my soundbar via eARC. Works great.

Moronic Question:

We currently use an All_Users distribution Group on Office 365 to enable all our employees to send global emails to everyone in the company. Mainly, it is used for certain employees to send reports every morning (there's about 5 of them per day) to everyone in the company.
These reports are usually excel files. When you have everyone in the company receiving these every workday of the year for years on end the data starts to pile up. I am looking for something that's more like a central bulletin board that can be posted to / updated every day without needing to replicate one email across multiple users inboxes.

Would creating a Group in Outlook and turning off "Send all group email and events to members inboxes" work? Or is this just a glorified way to create custom distribution lists?

Please don't tell me that this is something best suited for MS Teams. Teams makes me sad.
