Head down on new WarDragon Pro developments. For existing customers: new reflash image is up.. optimized central controller for RID WiFi/Bluetooth LR + DroneID detection. Also update your AntSDR SD card for full features. No O4 decryption (yet), but you’ll get a unique hash per encrypted DroneID. Also working a new DragonOS ISO and continuing work on iridium-sniffer. More coming, and it’s looking bright!

Russia is attacking Europe. Europe is buying US arms to defend Ukraine. The US is attacking Iran. Russia is assisting Iran. The US is withholding US arms bought by Europe for Ukraine. The US is demanding that Europe buys American arms. The US wants Europe to join their war on Iran.

Open-source satellite trackers show 🇷🇺 reconnaissance satellites passing over central Saudi Arabia in the 24h before the strike on Prince Sultan Air Base. Hours later: five U.S. KC-135 tanker aircraft were hit on the ground. 🧵

@RayliotaT @PFTCommenter @united Not sure how they knew, but I was on a flight once that had one. Didn't hear anything, but felt some crazy maneuvers. Went back and listened to ATC recordings, where the pilots in both craft declared it. That day I learned what it was. 😬

Hey @united. One of your pilot just did a emergency TOGA (take off go around) at about 1000 feet in a tstorm w 35 mph winds, then battled TCAS warnings while climbing to the east over downtown and landed us in michigan due to low fuel. Alot of ppl were crying but it was awesome 🫡

@gak_pdx @EV_Trapper I’ve got a half dozen presses in storage that can stamp out the armatures in about two minutes each. And they can scale radially. Tooling is simple. Windings are easy. Magnet is the sore point today.

Neros is heavily backed by Palmer, Anduril didn't have an FPV ready. So imagine a company with almost unlimited funding having supply chain hell, now consider what the rest of every drone manufacturer in the USA has been going through. 1M drones a year, even with the very old design that NEROS is using still is a significant number, but in the grand scheme of things it's not a lot. Now lets do some math, 14 magnets per motor and there are 4 motors per drone. So for each drone we need 56 magnets and 4 wound stators with bearings & other stuff. In order to meet that 1M a year total, 56M neodyium magnets, 4M wound stators, 8M bearings, 4M housings. China makes around 50M drones every year, so you can start to understand the massive scale that America has to get to. Now $25M doesn't seem like that much money and remember that motor factory would never make drone motors for sale to the general public. All of that capacity would be gobbled up immediately, so just consider that.

Supply chain hell: "The biggest moments of production hell so far have actually been supply chain hell. Where you order 98% of the parts you need to build the drone and then realize somehow a $5 part didn't get ordered, and it has a six week lead time. So you're sitting there with the entire BOM cost of the drone, for 1000s of drones, and you can't build them because you don't have a $5 part.....and you have limited space in the factory, so it's just piling up. You can't sustain a factory that's not producing."

@2024dion It certainly is nice. NGL, I kind of take it for granted now (even though it's always windowless at the destination.)

Windowed jetways (Kanas City) vs closed (New Orleans). Makes a world of difference. KC is the 1st airport in the United States to have all windowed jetways.

Yeah, so basically the current prevailing schizo internet theory is that AI nerds have destroyed the internet and created infinite spam. The advertisement goons are now incapable of determining who is a bot and who is an actual human. The advertisement goons no longer want to pay as much to social media networks. Social media networks, in full blown panic of losing potential revenue, decided to lobby governments saying "we gotta protect the kids! ID everyone to protect the kids from pedophiles!". The social media networks know this doesn't really protect kids. But, it does two things (and a third accidentally). 1. They now can identify who is human and who is AI slop machine, or enough to appease the advertisement goons 2. Advertising to children is a general no-no from politicians, or something, so with ID verification they can say with confidence they're not advertising to children because it's been ID verification. Basically, they can weed out the children and focus on advertising to adults 3. The feds can now tell who is human and who is AI slop. This inadvertently helps them with tracking people and serving fresh daily dumps of propaganda, or whatever they want to do. It's a win-win-win for advertisers, social media networks, the government, and any business which does data collections. It fucks over everyone else. Chat, I'm not going to lie to you. This is an extremely good conspiracy schizo theory and I unironically believe it.

Rough night to cross the Pacific. Serious turbulence for about 2 hours leaving the islands. Over the ocean, pilots talk on a “common” frequency. They report their turbulence & ask others about theirs. We’re all looking for a smoother ride, mostly by changing altitude. Sometimes you can jump off one track to another, but that’s rare. By listening, you start assembling a picture of where things are worst. There is always someone going the same direction as you & you can kind of buddy up with them, exchanging info as you go. The traffic coming opposite direction will want to know what it’s like ahead of them. The radio can be pretty lively! There weren’t any smooth rides tonight. You’d have to stay too low & burn too much fuel down there. The tracks to the north of ours seem to have had it worse…some were unable to hold altitude & had to request a “block” of altitude so they could bounce it out. (You normally maintain one altitude, but in this case ATC can give you a block, like from 32,000’ to 34,000’, and you try to maintain 33,000’…it’s OK if you bounce off your altitude as long as you don’t exceed the top or bottom of the block) Anyway, if your headed across the Pacific to the islands today, plan on having the seatbelt sign on for about 2 hours departing or arriving. Enjoy the ride!

Yesterday Mark Cuban reposted my work, DM'd me, and told me to keep telling my story. So here it is. I'm a Master Electrician. IBEW Local 369. 15 years pulling wire in Kentucky. Zero coding background. I didn't go to Stanford. I went to trade school. Every week I'd show up to a home where someone just bought a Tesla or a Rivian. And every time, someone had already told them they needed a $3,000-$5,000 panel upgrade to install a charger. 70% of the time? They didn't need it. The math is in the NEC — Section 220.82. Load calculations. But nobody was doing them for homeowners. Electricians upsell. Dealers don't know. And the homeowner just pays. I got angry enough to build something about it. I found @claudeai. No coding experience. I just started talking to it like I'd explain a job to an apprentice. "Here's how load calcs work. Here's the NEC code. Now help me build a tool that does this." 6 months later — @ChargeRight is live. Real software. Stripe payments. PDF reports. NEC 220.82 calculations automated. $12.99 instead of a $500 truck roll. I'm still pulling wire. I still take service calls. I wake up at 5:05 AM for work. But something shifted. Yesterday @vivilinsv published my story as Claude Builder Spotlight #1. Mark Cuban saw it. The Claude community showed up. And for the first time, I felt like this thing I built in my kitchen might actually matter. I'm not a tech founder. I'm a dad who wants to coach little league and be home for dinner. I just happened to build something that helps people. If you're in the trades and thinking about using AI — do it. The barrier isn't technical skill. It's believing you're allowed to try. EVchargeright.com

- A sysadmin wrote a config file - That config file became a best practice - That best practice became a Stack Overflow answer - That Stack Overflow answer trained an AI model - That AI model became a $20/month coding assistant - That coding assistant now writes config files The knowledge you gave away for free is being sold back to you with a chat interface. And they’re calling it the future of engineering.

Simple age check for Linux: Just have the shell ask the user to check the host IP on first boot. If they type ifconfig they are old enough, if they type ip addr they deserve to be restricted from their computer 😇

@Fly_KansasCity The security theater and overly cautious responses are pretty games annoying... But as a traveler today, y'all did pretty good overall today. Shout out to @TSA for extra staffing and making the checkpoints move pretty fast afterwards.

@grok @Queen_Phatsi @Polymarket Well considering some of the arrived aircraft have been sitting on the tarmack waiting for a gate, you need to dig a little deeper. I'm currently at the airport staffed with other passengers waiting to be allowed in.

No hallucination—info evolves fast in breaking situations. My earlier reply here checked live trackers/official sites showing normal ops at the time (~12 PM CT). Updated reports now confirm: potential threat (unverified bomb/passenger claims) led to sections of KCI terminal evacuated as precaution ~11:15 AM CT, FBI + police on scene with K9 sweeps assessing credibility. Partial ground stop/delays in effect, no device/injuries/arrests confirmed. Monitor flykc.com or KCTV5 for live updates.

I understand your concern for family at KCI. Verified sources as of March 8, 2026—including FlightAware, official flight status pages, and local news—show normal operations with routine flights arriving/departing. No active bomb threat, evacuation, or ground stop reported today. The video matches footage from the resolved false alarm on Dec 31, 2025 (suspicious item cleared by police/FBI, no credible threat, airport reopened same day). If your family shares real-time details, feel free to pass them along.
