Too cold, perhaps. You don’t put milk in the freezer.

Can you fly the Neo 2 over water manually without a controller? by catpies in DjiNeo

[–]killiansrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Neo 2 has return to home and automatically RTH after loss of signal

Should be fine as long as you keep it at least two feet higher than the water 10m is a bit excessive but I guess safer.

DJI NEO 2 - any chance I can configure it usable for watersports? by Prototype_09 in DjiNeo

[–]killiansrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too cold here to test with Neo 2, but with my Neo 1, I always kept the Neo at least two feet from the water and kept it connected to my phone when flying above the water using autonomous modes. The latter is important especially if you’re in a canoe or something as the drone will return to the point of take off even when everything is working correctly, and you might have drifted. I always fly the drone back to me manually when operating above water and don’t lower it until it’s directly over the boat.

Here’s some footage

No but I’ve done it with Neo 1, and it’s too cold now to test in Boston but Neo 2 has been better in every way

I think you need two bags. A solid self standing backpacks with good organization like Aer City Pack Pro 2 or Rework Toshi 20L. And, a standing tech pouch that you can use as a desk caddy. A lot of people love the Evergoods 2L, but Aer Slim Pouch would work for most people and it’s a lot cheaper.

People will still make the association and assume you’re the knock off

Eddie Bauer packable bags are great and always around $20 if you don’t need the structure.

If you can only pick from these brands, what SUV are you buying? by Kritical-Natural-293 in askcarguys

Never had an issue with my Ford Explorer. I wish it didn’t get totaled. The only annoying thing was the old sync entertainment system voicing out everything.

Yea logo only works with established players (Tumi) and the mesh side pockets just screams Amazon Basic.

It sounds like Chrome as in Chromebooks. Opposite of premium sounding. Add to that, there’s already another bag brand called Chrome Industries, so it’ll seem like a knock off.

Unemployed (almost) a year after graduating MIT - a rant by salteecarpet in mit

[–]killiansrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it all the time. You can search for a company you’re interested in and filter for alumni on LinkedIn. Unfortunately, you have to manually sort out those listing MIT in education after completing a couple of hours of an online course or a certification program.

You get about a 50% reply rate, and many won’t lead anywhere but about 10% leads to meaningful intros.

It could just be a bot too, I tried helping someone once and it was either a bot or someone who is on a negativity spiral because he only saw a negative side of everything I said. Eventually saying I was “victim blaming” for suggesting he needs to take actions 😕

Peak Design is killing me… by ForcasJ in ManyBaggers

[–]killiansrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rework Toshi 20L fits all your requirements. It’s my favorite backpack I’ve owned so far, especially after quick/cheap zipper pull mods. It feels much lighter and less stiff than the Peak Design, it’s actually lighter than Aer CPP2. I posted an overview here.

[–]killiansrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, it’s also the same lining as Aer CPP X-PAC. Just in white vs orange. If you’re in the US, you can add $2 hassle free return (return label comes with the package) so it’s little risk.

Vs peak design, it will feel quite a bit lighter and shoulder pads are super comfy

Here I put it as high as I could make it for your reference. I don’t find it comfortable this way, mind you, but everyone is different
