  6. Re:Worst than cloud exclusive hardware on DJI Threatens To 'Brick' Its Copters Unless Owners Agree To Share Their Details (thesun.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    A "cloud exclusive hardware" as a drone will not be able to film anything, except a dizzy white screen.

    That makes a hell of a difference.

  13. Wrong Headline on Drone Pilots In China Have to Register With the Government (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    >> Drone Pilots In China Have to Register With the Government

    This headline is really really wrong.
    First, there's no such thing as "drone pilot", as a drone is a plane without a pilot.
    Secondly, in China everbody has to Register with the Government, not only "Drone Pilots"
