I fought in Ukraine and here's why FPV drones kind of suck

In 2024 and 2025, I served for six months as an international volunteer on a first-person view attack drone team in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. My team was deployed in the Donbas region, in one of the hottest sectors of the front. When I joined the team, I was excited to work with a cutting-edge tool. By the end of my deployment, I was a bit disillusioned. Let me tell you why. First-person view drones are unmanned aerial vehicles with four propellers located at the four corners of the craft, r

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung will reportedly procure some displays for its upcoming Project Moohan headset from Sony. Sony also produced displays for the Apple Vision Pro. Samsung’s display arm will also develop some of the headset’s displays, in a bid to cut dependence on Sony.

Privacy campaigners say they’ve “uncovered a troubling pattern” that may indicate companies who collect and re–sell personal data may not be complying with state laws … While Europe has tough privacy laws governing the collection and use of personal data, there is no equivalent federal legislation in the US.

America’s incarceration rate is in decline

news.ycombinator.com Keith Humphreys 2025-08-31 04:14:29

For more than 40 years, the United States—a nation that putatively cherishes freedom—has had one of the largest prison systems in the world. Mass incarceration has been so persistent and pervasive that reform groups dedicated to reducing the prison population by half have often been derided as made up of fantasists. But the next decade could see this goal met and exceeded: After peaking at just more than 1.6 million Americans in 2009, the prison population was just more than 1.2 million at the e

Best Tower Fans for 2025: We Found What Beats the Heat

Why I like it: In ultrahigh-end tower fans, Dyson is awfully tough to beat. Its latest, the Dyson TP07, is a behemoth with king-size activated carbon and glass HEPA air filters hugging the base intake. That allows it to purify the air it puts out, removing things like dust and allergens from the air you breathe. Dyson claims it can catch particles as small as 0.3 microns wide. You don't have to spend that much on every air purifier but if you want a combo option this is the elite choice. The D

Two topics of conversation dominated the opening weekend of Danny Boyle’s new film, 28 Years Later. One, that wild ending that introduced a seemingly out-of-place controversial new character. And two was the sheer amount, and size, of the penises seen in the film. Throughout 28 Years Later, the Rage virus-infected zombies that run around the mainland are all naked.
