They are flying in "angle" mode? I can't make even a half decent turn in angle mode. Somehow I suspect it isn't because lacking skill. Maybee spotty connectivity makes drone in angle mode more reliable?

T480 (not sure about T580) is a strange beast regarding storage implemantation. I've seen SATA models (worse, slower) and NVMe models (better, rarer?, faster). I own the SATA one and I believe that good part of the performance difference I see between it and a T14 Gen 2 (running same setup and same tasks ) is on account of the faster storage. Among T14 devices NVMe is I believe standard.

Not sure it actually demonstrates the extend of the issue. My favourite way to look at it (via ThunderF00t@youtube I believe):

  • dry ice is essentially frozen CO2 ( CO2 in solid form)
  • cca 40 billion tuns per year (cca 5t per person / year, 8 billion people)
  • 1km side cube of dry ice weights cca 1.5 billion tuns (1.560 kg/m3 says wiki)

=> Burj Khalifa has 830 m - imagine huge cube of dry ice 20% taller ( or 3x eifell tower)- all that CO2 boiling off in massive clouds - than add 25 of them - each year. We've been doing this at some scale for decades....

I am no longer objective: I love these, I've been IDCing specifically the 91mm versions (like yours) my entire adult life. It has become a true extension of my body. I wouldn't consider a change simply because the muscle memory - this thing jumps into my hand safely and reliably without me ever getting to think about it no matter if I am drunk/ stoned or anything. The rule is that when I no longer can find the beer bottle opener - it's the most tricky one on the knife IMO - I should consider going home. Nothing gets close, different knifes can actually get dangerous for me now because I ain't used to the shape and I ain't any longer used to watch my hands operating a knife - I watch only when the cutting is done.

Anyway, I find the old-school opening "an important feature". These Victorinox knives are widely recognized around the world as not suitable for self-defense (at least not an effective one), which makes them perfect to bring places, where "regular" eg. "liner lock" knives might get you strange stares if not straight up confiscation. Places like government buildings, schools or guarded server rooms. The 58? mm models are too small for effective use, the bigger ones tend to have locks. I am an admin.

They’re great for city commutes to work, quick trips to the market, dropping a kid off at school, and transporting your pet to the dog park.

Do I need a car for that?

PSA: I've been IDCing these (i prefer supertinkerer or climber 92? mm models) my entire life and I have actually broke one! When you inevitably break the spring on the scissors (somehow I use them the most), don't compensate with your thumb pressurering against the hinge. Have it replaced, many shops do it for free. Or in several years - you will break the scissors off just below the hinge. Didn't know/expect that was possible. If something I am below average strength. Still the best knife I know, own 1/2 a dozen, even though I confess muscle memory probably plays a big role.

Anyone has a better picture of the drivers dash? I looks like there is a 4x4 block of buttons to the right of the steering wheel and another 4x4 block on the left side

+some more buttons in the middle of the steering wheel. That is a lot of buttons! What were they good for 🤔 ?

Thank you for this. I've been testing the Nine app for a week now and I am sold 👍 Some users do complain that the app "isn't as good as it used to be" - but luckily for me I don't know - and it's the best one I've seen anyway.
