Fucking moron. You'll never hit a drone with that! The ruskies have been trying that for the last couple years with virtually zero success.

More on this splendid human being:

In now deleted tweets from 2015, it’s clear Rep. Maddox has always held racist beliefs. In an October 2015 tweet, Maddox responded to someone calling President Barack Obama a “coon” by saying that “Obama is not black. He is of African ancestry, not sharing the Black American heritage or experience.” 

In a March 2015 tweet, Maddox said that “childhood sexual assault and neglect” was the reason for homosexuality and that she blamed the parents and LGBTQ people for their sexual preferences.  

In a January 2015 tweet she claimed Islam is a “faith about destruction” and that there are no Islamic “hospitals, orphanages or universities.” 

She's a genuine shit-person. 100% real human excrement propped up with modern technology to walk and talk sorta like a real human being!

do not tell her where the term algebra originated from

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Don't bother telling her that Islam considers learning to be a religious duty

I was about to ask who even is that? But now I’d rather forget.

[-] FrostyTrichs@walledgarden.xyz 188 points 3 days ago

Anyone who thinks they stand a chance against drones with a gun hasn't been paying attention to what's happening in Ukraine.

Gonna pew pew a CEO in the back? Sure, guns work for that.

Trying to save your own life against a fast and agile target that needs way less precision than you to be effective and probably never even presents a target? Nah mate, you're fucked.

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 107 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

There are some, handheld firearms that are used as a last-ditch / cheap anti drone solution in Ukraine, by both sides.

Drum roll.....

https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/army-news/2024/analysis-shotguns-emerge-as-a-frontline-defense-against-drones-in-evolving-military-and-security-tactics

Its shotguns.

Because they have a spread of multiple shot pellets instead of a single bullet.

Fucking obviously duh, they've been used to hunt small, evasive birds routinely, everywhere, for like 150+ years.

Hunting a nimble flying object with a sniper rifle is a laughably absurd idea.

This actual post from this woman is so stupid I would have thought it was from a 12 year old whose only experience with guns is from CoD... but nope, its a 50ish(?) year old woman.

Guess she's never hunted birds, and thinks its just the same as hunting deer or hogs or something???

Ive heard and seen some images and videos of soliders building their own antidrone ammo. They rip the tip off the casing and heat shrink a coulple of bbs together and crimp them to the casing. I'm not certain how legitimate or effective it is but I've seen several videos and images of it. They recomend staggering the homemade rounds with tracer rounds to help with aiming.

Now here's a thought... What about using drones to "take care of" a CEO? The risk of being caught would be lower, as you can be located hundreds of meters away or more. It's also relatively easy to acquire a drone, and you can make explosives with stuff you can buy at the hardware store.

(Disclaimer: This is just a thought experiment, I'm not dumb enough to try this, don't worry FBI :3)

[-] SnotFlickerman 24 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)
  1. Drones that weigh 0.55 pounds or more must be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration. If you buy a drone, you're supposed to register it, and that puts the drone and your name into a Federal database.

  2. Every electronic device with networking capability that exists has a "burned-in" MAC address that tells you info on the manufacturer, etc. This coupled with the drones serial number can narrow down specifically which device it was and allow law enforcement to figure out which specific store sold this specific drone. Then they hit the store with a warrant for the customers, match up the drone to a name, and go.

  3. Communications with commercially available drones are generally unencrypted and easily intercepted. Triangulation of the source of the controlling unit would be trivial.

It's sooooo fucking easy to find someone who is using a drone if you're serious about it. It just takes law enforcement being serious about it. Also, there's a good chance that since you have to register it with the FAA that any crime committed with it would be considered a Federal crime.

[-] LostXOR@fedia.io 30 points 3 days ago

You don't have to register it with the FAA; you're already going to murder someone, who cares if you break a few more laws?

The last point assumes someone's recording the wireless activity of the drone in the moments before the explosion, which I think is pretty unlikely. And the internals of the drone should be destroyed by the explosion, rendering it practically impossible to extract any identifying information other than the general drone model.

And even if all wireless traffic is being recorded and triangulated, pick a busy place and you're just one guy on your phone in a crowd of thousands. You can also order the drone anonymously months ahead of time and pick it up somewhere with poor security camera coverage to all but ensure there's no record linking it to you.

You're thinking of WiFi/Ethernet/Bluetooth. There's plenty of radio control options for drones that don't use MAC addresses. Some are completely analog (though there's not many of those left), but even the digital ones don't necessarily have MAC addresses.

MAC addresses aren't some government-mandated thing. They're something the industry came up with.

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago
  1. They're supposed to be registered for use, but that's something YOU do, on the website. That's not done automatically as part of the purchase.
  2. Not all stores manage inventory at the serial number level.
  3. That requires them to be actively looking for it while you're flying. Once you turn off your transmitter there's nothing to track. Don't fly near restricted airspace and they have no reason to try to fine a random drone pilot.

Aliens are not attacking.

The drones have hurt no one.

They are merely paying more attention now.

Perhaps if society kills more CEOs, they will finally consider us sapient and establish contact.

[-] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

This is all BS anyway but a rifle is very much the wrong weapon against a drone...

Dumbass gun owners, sending rounds into unsuspecting people since 1364

[-] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 46 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Please, do NOT shoot at airborn targets, or any target where your are not certain a missed shot will safely land in an empty area.

[-] IMongoose@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

Also shooting down a drone counts as shooting down an actual airplane, which is like, a super felony. So probably just don't.

[-] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Also, the drone falling could hit someone or something. So seriously, don't.

GovCo owns the drones. The simple fact that they haven't shot them down means they own them.

This is a distraction. It's to distract people because for some reason there was a sudden unexpected explosion of class consciousness.

Stop talking about the fucking govt drones. Keep scaring billionaires.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

The one I saw a picture of was a manned helicopter. (Flying in a legal area too .. which is why they aren't being shot down near a military base, because if they were a threat, in air they weren't allowed to fly in... They would be intercepted or shot down)

I'm not a gun person, but it seems to me like anyone who claims they can shoot down a drone with a rifle is also revealing themselves to not be a gun person.

All she has in her house are succulents? That makes sense. They're literally the only things someone like her could possibly hope to keep alive. They need almost zero attention, maintenance, or moisture.

Just like her brain.
