UK concerned by use of Chinese drones used to survey nuclear power plant, solar farms, water reservoirs in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk
[–] andyli@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That’s in part because DJI is the world’s largest maker of commercial drones, leaving firms with limited choice when it comes to procuring low-cost unmanned aerial systems.

I have been looking forward to a non-Chinese alternative for some time as I am quite interested in getting a drone...

Surprised there is no mention of critics from Italians.

Yeah. There was an incident in the university where I studied that the whole roof collapsed. https://hongkongfp.com/2016/06/10/city-university-may-sue-contractor-rooftop-collapse-investigation-report-released/

Enable gif autoplay? (lemmy.world)
 

I couldn't find a setting to enable gif autoplay. Is it hidden somewhere?

I have enabled video autoplay but the gifs are still not playing.

I'm using eternity v0.1.2 from fdroid.

What are these dotted ball shaped things I circled in yellow in the image?

I thought they may be sea urchin skeletons. Though the things in the image may be too many and too large?

They are in a mural in Brighton, England. The subject is "Protecting Costa Rican Wildlife", so I guess they are of some native species there.

Any good smart power strip not made in China? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm looking for a smart power strip, which allows me to remote control and schedule on/off.

Last year I bought Hey!'s smart power strip. Hey! is a UK brand, but turn out its products are just branded Chinese products. I used it anyway but it just bricked itself last month.

For quality, safety, and security reasons, I would prefer a non-made-in-China smart power strip.

Compatibility with Home Assistant is prefered, but not 100% required. I'm interested in switching to Home Assistant but I haven't yet.

Thanks for any suggestions!

This is a longstanding issue that wheelmap knew and promised to solve.

I guess Disney can't employ owls because they would attack Mickey.

My posts and comments to feddit.uk communities aren't going through. I can only see the posts and comments on this instance but not on feddit.uk.

For example, this post doesn't appear in https://feddit.uk/c/brighton

Is there any technical problem or is one defederated with another?

It still happens to me as of today.

I've found the relevant GitHub issue, which says the fix is to compile lemmy with pict-rs v0.4.0-beta.7 or later versions.

Not using TikTok is still an option and that's what I chose.
