Unironically the only dronefags I know are those who already flew model planes 15 years ago and will continue to do so till they die.

Mobile phones because we have hit moores law hard
Pcs and servers will be fine because they have alot more space to play with unlike phone garbage

I rarely if ever see someone with a drone. Almost bought one myself just to extend my photographic reach a bit, but considering the few moment I need it, I doubt I'll have it with me anyway. It'll probably get old real soon too, and I think it already did for most people.
Camden Collins
Tbh the bubble crashes because of all the anti-fun laws
Why get a drone when you can't even fly it over a city or anywhere with a crowd of people?
You also need line of sight to it, which is bullshit when you have video feed.
Yeah you can fly it over a forest, but that's boring and becomes illegal as soon as it flies behind a tree because it's not longer in line of sight.
Robert Rivera
They're popular in wedding recordings, we charge extra for drone shots but you can only get a few overhead ones and that's it, they're generally worthless and a meme.
Lincoln Cook
3d printers are still big lol
But THANK FUCKING GOD we wont have many more DJassholes flying around
Asher Gutierrez
Huh
What did u mean?
Daniel Nelson
They're not a thing because large phones and the iPad ate their lunch. They were cheap media consumptions machines but had garbage battery life and garbage screens. in comes 6+" smartphones with excellent screens and the base iPad for $400-600 and a majority of netbooks were wiped out because people were going to get a phone or ipad anyway and now the netbook is redundant
>apple ishit (already dying but hasn't bottomed out yet gonna make the early 90s look like nothing)
I work for a OEM/supplier partner. Apple mobile devices are doing A LOT better than android in the US despite recent news. People aren't switching as much as they used to but Apple is looking to be in better shape than android companies are by a long mile. Android devices are currently cannibalizing each other, expect motorola to go low/budget end only or die in a few years.
Brayden Rivera
I've yet to see even one of those in person. They were never sold in stores here either. It is like they only exist in pop culture. The exact same thing happened with those 3-ended spinner things. It is like pop culture that reaches this area is from another reality.
Colton Williams
The regulations here made it harder to get into. I blame all the DJI idiots.
David Evans
Motorola has been nothing but a subsidiary brand name for many years now user, the company essentially died in 2012.
Sebastian Gray
AFAIK they're still somewhat independent in their operation even if it's all chinese now. We meet with their engineers and they're not "Lenovo engineers" they're "Motorola engineers", if you catch my drift. They're not just rebranded devices
Camden Jenkins
Like I give a fuck about that. The DIY sector is what matters the most.
Andrew Carter
Nice, will I be able to buy one cheaply now?
Adam Cruz
>spinner things
Those things didn't have one meaningful reason to exist. It was downright bizarre that they got so popular for a while in the first place.
Cooper Baker
OH NO NO NO
How could this happen, guys?

Hmm, was actually thinking lately about getting one to start a side hustle as one of those real estate photographers. Anyone here make money with theirs or is it really just a niche hobbyist thing at the end of the day?
Carson Gray
> pc will be fine
No zoomers own a desktop. Why would they? Desktop is dead
Cameron Torres
just because quadcopters allow for a novel approach to flight mechanics that are extremely easy to program a computer to control - doesn't mean that those flight mechanics are anything more than a neat novelty
flight is a very delicate balancing act and quadcopters do not follow the same kind of delicate balance that helicopters and fixed wing aircraft operate on. they use raw power to keep themselves in the air, not finely balanced aerodynamics, which is the single biggest hurdle for using drones for anything.
you can say 'but batteries aren't dense enough yet' but we've been flying model airplanes with fucking lead batteries ever since the 70s. their fundamental method of operation runs contrary to the laws of physics
Bentley Cruz

Jace Hernandez
One of the few times I've seen one IRL was indeed during some wedding. I thought it was just one of the invitees that was flying it, but it was probably the photographer.
Seems like an annoying hassle to try and make nice shots and meanwhile manage some drone at the same time. I can understand charging extra for that.
William Adams
>Gaming Consoles

Tyler Gomez
What about electric scooters? At first they seemed stupid and absurd to me, but I must admit, they are a perfectly fine way to get around a city.
James Evans
It was inevitable.
Ryan Jackson
hopefully streaming services
Joshua Flores
the fidget spinner meme piggy backed off of a much more complex and hard to describe meme that people don't really know how to talk about - the vague idea that having some kind of disability or mental illness makes you special or unique. ADHD, tourettes, anxiety, whatever. It made people who lack any of those qualities want to signify that they have those qualities, and fidget spinners were a signifier for those qualities. they were also cheap little knickknacks that were tactile and enjoyable to use, despite being useless
Brayden Moore
quadcopters have absolutely revolutionized camera operation and risk management
but they are almost useless for long term operation and observation. thankfully.
William Hall
how about you go outside more
Mason Brooks
Premade plebsumer drones were lame as shit anyhow.
It's nice though for like retail and stuff to do aerial shots or checking roofs and shit though.
Adam Wright
Thats the most manchild shit I’ve ever seen

I wish electric bikes would die.
But they'll only get more popular, no doubt.
I wouldn't mind them so much if half of them weren't souped up and been driven by phone staring idiots (pretty much exclusively young to middle-aged women for some reason, I see few elderly and men drive them). The standard speed of those things is already too much for a bike initially meant for old people, who can barely control themselves walking.
The worst though are those speedbikes. Always with some dumb asshole on there dressed as if he's doing the tour the france, while he's really just driving an electric moped. Usually like a madman too.
Nathaniel Hill
does this mean i'll be able to buy a good drone for cheap?
Joseph Kelly
jesus, this is unironically really hot
Ayden Carter
No, it's common practice to just trash or recycle components from dead stock nowadays, can't let plebs have things in the age of artificial scarcity.
Brayden Fisher
I can only hope.
Joseph Allen
>SLUTS WHO KNOW THEIR SLUTS
MHMM
WILL THE FEMINISTS IN HR EVER RECOVER LMAO
Oliver Scott
Their maximum speed is just 25 km/h.
Go above that and the motor cuts off completely.
That's not fast at all, although I do agree it's too fast to be playing with your phone.
Speed pedelecs are essentially electric mopeds.
Same rules apply to them, for example they aren't allowed on bicycle lanes here and have to use the roads like cars.
Nicholas Hughes
Angel Miller
of all the things to complain about as a fad, ebikes are not one of them, the more people biking the better.
Jeremiah Campbell
>Their maximum speed is just 25 km/h.
That would be alright, but like I said, half of them are souped up and go easily beyond 30.
It was even on the news how easy these things are to hack, so many people let them be "upgraded". Lots of bike shops have no problem doing this.
Adam Wright
>the more people biking the better.
I can only agree with that.
I wish these lazy fucks could do it without needing a "support" engine, or at the very least be happy with it's default speed. And leave their phone in their bags while at it.
If they're leaving a car at home for it though, then I yeah, I guess it's a good thing. A dead battery once every two years is better than a few gallons of gas burned.
Although I'm pretty sure many of the people choosing an e-bike would otherwise be using public transport. I picked that up from a handful of conversations on the train, at work and ironically enough from one of those girls on her ebike loudly talking on her phone.
Austin Kelly
Joseph Fisher
>zoomers
They are gamer kids/teens, all their favorite streamers are on PC, they are too.
Carter Perry
I like mine though. Much more convenient and cheaper than having a laptop or desktop hooked up to every TV
Brody Baker
I work in a big pharmacy, laboratory representatives often come to bring us lunch or coffee or other trash, about 2 years ago when the spinner craze was raging on, a pfizer representative brought us two bags full of spinners, like 100 spinners each. They should lower the price of their chemicals instead of spending money in dumb shit like that.
Easton Williams

Ian Perry

Nolan Hernandez
He's trying to say that Moore's Law predicts tech advancement at a certain rate until 2010 and then explicitly "makes no predictions" past that point. Moore's Law doesn't actually say that CPUs will stop adding components, Moore said he doesn't know the rate after a certain date.

everything will go streaming, wanting to be netflix, but due to not having enough content, die and the next netflix will be born if netflix doesn't survive.
Joshua Richardson
Kevin Sanchez
I am likely going to get a smaller drone for racing with a hmd... seems like a lot of fun.
Aaron Richardson
I don't like fidget spinners, but I definitely have shit around me that I can flip in my hand while i'm doing something else, I just find it hard to concentrate without a certain level of distraction.
Owen Murphy
inorite
Brandon Peterson
Tbh, the only emotive that seems worth while is the long board. I hate hippies but you can take the boards inside, they are compact, light, etc. Its the fastest most efficient transportation. Bikes dont gain anything from a motor. Your legs could do just fine pedaling a bike in most places. And it's still awful to have to lock up/take I side. Normal Longboards are shit if going up any inclination. Only useful with a motor.
Sebastian Williams
Simply because you can't fly it more than 30 minutes on average. If there are drones that can fly for like 6 hours at least and available for consumers, then yes, the market for it will be something.
Hunter Roberts
Just bough DJI Spark few weeks ago.
Matthew Morris

Isaiah Clark
>drone bubble pops just as new tariffs hit Chinese imports to the US

David Kelly
This, I'm not interested in 30minutes of fun. I want to CRUISE.
Benjamin Carter

Carter Diaz
>bizarre
uh huh.
Julian Jackson
Does a bubble refer to high prices or low prices? Because of high demand?
William Wilson

lol nty just answer the question nigger
Christopher Martin
does that mean we'll be able to get drones for cheap soon?
Nolan King
it means companies are not making a profit and going bankrupt and investors are fucking off from this scam scheme
Luke Parker
They only needed to exist for one reason.
Ian Rogers
Thank fuck.
>anti-fun laws
Sorry for not wanting your piece of shit dropping on someone, stopping flights or having some shithead spying on people.
Lucas Hughes
It's largely because of all the regulations. You can't fly them at any national parks, not in cities, not over government property. I have a mavric air but you can't fly it wherever you'd like
Adam Reed
>wanting your piece of shit dropping on someone, stopping flights or having some shithead spying on people.
These things don't just fall out of the sky. At worst they lose battery and slowly descend. You already can't fly over 500 ft so you aren't going to be stopping any flights
Brody Reyes
Did you forget about last Christmas Eve?
Jeremiah Barnes
Ah yes the booming national park drone flying that was carrying the industry, surely the ban on a few cities is what killed it and not the fact that the drone industry was never profitable outside very niche professional uses.
Isaac Watson
I didn't even know there was a drone bubble.
Ayden Price
> At worst they lose battery and slowly descend.
Or something happens with the rotors. Or the entire thing shortcuts because you bought some cheap ass chink clone. Besides again, the spying on people thing.
Dominic Jenkins
>Their maximum speed is just 25 km/h.
Perhaps they ought to be, but this definitely isn't the case for all e-bikes. I'm a track cyclist and I struggle to hold the wheel on some of them—some of them are definitely going 40 km/h+.
Chase Thompson
>drones are now going to be cheaper than ever for a while
yes! YES!
Dominic Johnson
Was that the one where they eventually decided they were pretty sure there wasn't actually a drone and the whole thing was a punch of panic over nothing?
Matthew Kelly
That's the one where a drone shut down an entire airport during the holiday season. I never heard about the part where they were pretty sure it wasn't a multirotor. Not saying it's not the same incident though
Jose Adams
Could be, I only really know about it from shitposting and the most recent shitposting was to that effect. Pretty sure they never actually caught anyone and I never saw definite footage or anything.
Blake James
>the secretive kite lobby
How do I join?
Leo Adams
They've gotten really popular for real estate photography recently, I see them all the time in that role, particularly because a lot of people in my neighborhood are selling their houses lately. (Big jump in property values over the last few years and I guess people are deciding to take the money and run.)
