Yeah, spark of engine is something what can be seen on SIGINT for dozens of kilometers.

So unless jet engine is used (which rarely is on reconnaissance drones) then the drone will be spark lighthouse in the sky.

> I wonder what has happened to the German builder/tinkerer culture that made German manufacturing great.

Over engineered stuff which hate the user is staple of German manufacturing. Look on tanks during WW2. Impressive on the surface but unreliable crap for everyone who used it.

I've learned my lesson about German engineering after buying one of their vacuum cleaners. The ergonomics of the machine seem bad on purpose.

Anecdotally, I disagree. The ergonomics on my Miele are very good. It is clear that attention was paid to many details of using it.

I recently replaced the shock dampers on our Miele washing machine (~10 years old) and I was amazed how well designed and ergonomic the inside of the machine is.

Parts are very easy to get at, all screws are Torx of identical size, and there's one very obvious way to take the machine apart and put it back together again. Made the replacement a breeze.

I think the whole premise of judging a whole country on some random product a company from that country made is rediculous. It's like saying Americans can't develop software because Microsoft screwed up Windows in the last few versions.

Indeed, the parent phrase " German engineering ... their vacuum cleaners" struck me as a bit ridiculous. Perhaps there is a design standard for a company and "their" products, but this was too sweeping.

Now do an alternator on a VAG car :)

I have a Metabo vacuum (ASA 30 H PC) and absolutely love it. What's bad about the ergonomics of yours?

I have a Sebo. The primary thing I dislike is the weight. You'd think something this heavy would have some kind of performance advantage, but it doesn't. I've seen battery powered shit from Walmart suck harder than this machine does.

Not just tanks but the entire economy and railways in the same time period.

Testing should be on such laptops. Development, especially in things like xcode or visual studio would be insane

That would force vendors to make Visual Studio and Xcode same ;-)

Exactly what .NET does with MAUI, just little bit lower than electron

It can use Rolls Royce engine as well.

I do see it on exactly same way. A lot of people are conflating opensource with free. That model is not really sustainable if you want to do it for living.

It is exactly the opposite. EU is blamed for everything what is wrong and local politicians are taking credit for whatever is good.

And the worst part is that you can't even change it as far as I know

You can, but then Spotlight doesn't work when Finder is active.
