I'm totally gonna scan some random ghost QR code floating in the air.
That one Superbowl ad that was just a QR code for 20 seconds got tons of people to scan it
I can see this working
With all the microplastics in the water? At least go Solar Punk.
Neon Holographic image of product you can recognize and then search for yourself.
Cryptic code that requires little Orphan Annie's decoder ring.I hate how ubiquitous these things are right now without them being projected in the sky.
We need to get some anti-aircraft guns before this gets out of hand.
Is it illegal to get your own drones to put malware in the sky? They'd stop the practice because they'd make it illegal or it'd be associated with people using you to mine Bitcoin
So, theoretically, how hard would it be to make a big net cannon that could capture a fleet of drones?
Hard, but not insurmountable. Might be easier with a larger drone with a mesh basket to scoop the little drones up.
Not hard. Potato gun that fires a net will work.
RIP TKOR, he taught us all how to dangerously smelt pig iron in our back yards

Yet another example of capitalism allocating resources in the most efficient way possible
Little bullet, big sky. Pellet/BB gun isn't going to cut it. it has neither the range, accuracy, or power to take these down. You would need a shotgun, bare minimum, and even that may not do it because round balls lose their energy very quickly compared to modern bullets. Actual anti drone warfare is typically done with directional jammers.
A BB gun would be pretty useless outside of touching distance, but a strong pellet gun or air rifle can shoot quite a long distance, over 50 meters pretty easily, with enough power to kill a small animal like a rabbit or rat. I imagine that could do some serious damage to a drone. Or for a less violent method, a potato gun/t shit launcher that fires a net.
I really doubt it. Almost all pellet guns are manually operated, so you have a rate of fire in the single digits, and they're typically mechanically inaccurate (especially spring powered). Cheap quadcopters can hover at like 400 feet. Good luck figuring out your holdover shooting 60 degrees up in the air. That's like max range for a 28" waterfowl shotgun setup, using actual gunpowder.
What kind of waves control these? Maybe you can fuck with them without an specific jammer
Pretty sure it's normal radio freqs like an RC car. Technically jamming is illegal (FCC violation.) I saw this video earlier on using low power gps signals to take them down.

Cheap toy drone -> kamakazi it into expensive drone swarm. Problem solved.
