It would be hard to spot but it sounds like you'd always know it's there.
It will be hard to hear the sound from the drones because the data center controlling them will be even louder
Are data centers loud on the outside? The ones I've been inside were not but they were smaller sites.
As soon as I turned on the video, I was like, I want to kill these giant mosquitos immediately. Give me a baseball bat rn. Invisible or not, they’re mine. What is it with people making the most annoying shit
