Setting up Chrome as the default browser on Windows 11 is ridiculous. Not only it throws THREE dialogs during the process, I had to manually switch TEN dropdowns 1 by 1. Tasteless bordering unethical, likely insurmountable for non tech savvy users.
❤️ my surface, don’t love this.

Big yikes. Didn't they learn anything from, I dunno, a certain antitrust case a while back?

@aaronpk the DJI Mini 2 is such an amazing product. The compact size makes it so portable and the video is great. I recently upgraded from a Spark to an Air 2S. Good luck on the test and be sure to share photos on here too! 🚁📷

That's awesome! Yeah I've been super impressed with the Mini 2 already. I took it to Finland (no distinction between commercial and personal use there!) but it was so cold and dark I barely had any chances to fly it!

@aaronpk Quadcopters are so much fun. Are you planning on doing cinematic type stuff or FPV?

I'm just getting started and only plan on flying the DJI Mini 2 for now, mainly for videos/photos. But I realized if I want to show any videos on my YouTube channel it counts as commercial work so I need to get the actual FAA license!

I think this is the first time the "elevator" on a plane has made sense to me!

Too bad it has nothing to do with the quadcopters I want to fly but I need to learn it for the test anyway 😅

No one was, or is, waving centralization flags. The only thing happening right now is the people waving decentralization flags are accusing everyone else who doesn't care or support their movement to be on the opposing side.
