Mostly they’re used to enable illegal RF parameters in Europe (FCC hack); DJI disabled strict geofencing in most of the “west” several years ago and that was also enforced in the d…

Root for these RCs has been available under the guise of “FCC hack” for a really long time now; different groups have different exploits (it’s DJI so there are plenty) that work on…

Western state agencies and mid-tier bootleg spyware vendors are neutral at best and antagonists overall. At best, bootleg spyware vendors drop exploits which agencies can reverse a…

> My point was that so far, these things are just curiosities with very limited usage and there's no mass adoption. Make that point, then! Nothing in your original comment suggeste…

There's enormous adoption of autonomous drones. A large number of front-line FPV drones are equipped with automated last-second targeting systems like https://www.youtube.com/watch…

These generally just use RTK and a base station; nothing interesting and extremely easily rejected by EW (since they need both accurate global positioning signal _and_ RTK signal).…

Walksnail is not 802.11 based. If anything it is loosely 802.16 based. Likewise DJI OcuSync is more like LTE than anything else. 802.11 is not a good fit for FPV video and trying t…

The IOMMU on Apple Silicon only supports 16K pages. The page allocator on Linux only supports unified page sizes. Ergo, to make both IOMMU mappings and userland software work, ever…

> arranging it so that DJI "just seems to never be able to" hire any security experts They're foot-nuking themselves this way, as well. Due to their poor security, DJI are also eas…

I wasn't exactly going for "DJI is great" - it's kind of funny that's how it came off. My points were: * DJI's use of Secneo on Android isn't hiding a "sendAllYourPhotosToTheCCPSer…

Overall what I'd say about DJI is that they seem to be earnestly trying to make their features work at face value. That is, if you opt out of data collection, they seem to be earne…

No; this functionality is actually accomplished in a reasonable way, with a local database stored on the drone and checked by the drone's flight control software, and exemptions gr…

There's nothing. Skydio exited the consumer market. Their drones had good autonomy and flight characteristics. However, they struggled with wireless link quality due to the use of …

Anti-reversing. Obfuscation and packers are dominant in Chinese applications. If something isn't obfuscated, it's free reign for competitors. > Leaving the door propped open for ev…

> It can only be side-loaded on Android, because their app breaks a number of policies on privacy and data gathering. I don't think this is the reason, I think it's more that they'…

DJI's no-fly zone database is completely independent from the US government. DJI would have to be compelled to add the US as a no-fly zone, which, if their drones are banned alread…

It's going to be a disaster for SAR, policing, firefighting, and all kinds of public good. The whole thing is an incredibly shortsighted move that will literally cost lives. The go…

Sure, but DJI drones already weren't eligible for procurement in US defense anyway, so there's not a major net change there (barring weird edge case loopholes with third-party modi…

HAHA. DJI drones are amongst the most popular tools of war in the Ukraine conflict. Sometimes they drop bombs directly, but more commonly they're used as long-ranged lookout statio…

They shouldn't be; they use DJI basebands, so banning DJI and their affiliates using the FCC Covered List should also prevent Anzu from getting new FCC equipment approvals. It's un…

It adds DJI to the FCC Covered List, meaning they can't get new FCC approvals. The FCC could choose whether or not to revoke existing FCC Equipment Authorizations for existing DJI …

He has a very checkered history with "hacking" things. He tends to build heavily on the work of others, then use it to shamelessly self-promote, often to the massive detriment of t…

My summary of DJI apps, which I have extensively reverse engineered, is: If you opt into DJI's Flight Record Sync service, you send them your flight records. If you send DJI the ad…
