Interesting. I just finished with a thorny hydraulics problem on a 9870 Combine. It turned out to be a faulty sensor. Part of my troubleshooting involved buying a new sensor, and swapping out each sensor in the system one by one with the ne

I've always been a bit confused about the right to repair debate, especially as it concerns John Deere equipment. I don't own any "new" John Deere products, but I do have a few pieces circa ~2010. Perhaps my experience i

This sounds really interesting! I'd love to see it when you're done. I wasn't aware that my Nest thermostat was going to be End of Life'd, but I just finished replacing it with an older Honeywell/Zwave combo due to

It's funny you mention PitViper, because they are by far the worst offender in my inbox. I've unsubscribed multiple times, I've marked as spam multiple times, yet somehow I still get the occasional marketing message in my Gma

Oh wow! Not sure if it was this exact program, but I remember some similar sheep roaming my desktop when I was young. It had the ability to draw pictures in MS Paint, and would often do so when you were working on something...

Automated spotting is a bit of a bandaid, but might prove more useful as this situation drags on. I've thought about those raspberry pi flight trackers, but I don't think you can get the data I'm looking for from from Mode C

The future of drones, especially in dense areas may require some sort of technological solution like that, but for the time being out in the boonies here I would love for the rules to change so that the first 300' or so of airspace abo

NathanBuilds on YouTube has a little robot which does the same thing with a large magnifying glass. A concept I am very eager to demo on an industrial scale.

They have the natural right of way. No matter who's paperwork isn't filled out, if a spray plane hits my drone I am at fault.

The advantage flying sprayers have over a tractor is loss. Driving a tractor through a field will crush a percentage of your crop, and a percentage of that crushed crop will never recover. Depending on the field that percentage can be as hi

Drones are going to be a large part of agriculture, but the problem isn't the technology. Imo the technology is already at a point where it's useful enough for me to invest in. If i wanted to today i could buy what i need for scou

Is there anywhere I can anonymously upload an image to show off my own "spaceship tractor cab?" It's been awhile since I've tried, and it seems imgur no longer allows non-users to do this.

I did some more digging just now since this was bugging me so much. Behavior persisted after restarting firefox. Under firefox settings/site permissions the microphone is "Blocked by Android" So I decided to double check my a

I hate to use this thread as a general forum for complaints against YouTube, but I've come across some concerning behavior. I've gotten fed up with the app, so this morning I decided to use Firefox mobile to play a video on YouTub
