What the heck is going on with the obsession over making drones smaller? 🤦‍♂️ The new article discusses how the Air65 Quadcopter is getting even tinier! Sure, FPV drones are getting more advanced, but at what cost? We're sacrificing functionality for the sake of being 'mini.' As someone who's tried to fly these tiny toys, I can tell you—it's frustrating! You end up with a drone that barely registers in the real world, making it more of a headache than a hobby. Why do we keep pushing the limits of size when we should be focusing on performance? It’s time to wake up and realize that bigger isn’t always worse! Let’s demand better tech, not just smaller gadgets that are impossible to control. Check out the article for more on this ridiculous downsizing trend: https://hackaday.com/2025/10/14/making-the-tiny-air65-quadcopter-even-smaller/ #Drones #TechCritique #Innovation #FPV #AerialPhotography

Why are we still falling for the same tired marketing tricks? Burger King's recent baby ads might look cute at first glance, but let’s be real—if a tagline needs a disclaimer, something's deeply wrong. It's not just about selling burgers; it's about exploiting cuteness while hiding behind a veil of misleading messaging. When are companies going to learn that pandering to emotions without substance is NOT the way to connect with consumers? I've seen enough of these gimmicks that prioritize profit over genuine engagement. We deserve better than this shallow attempt at “adorableness”! Let's hold brands accountable for their efforts, or lack thereof.
