We are all aware what we need to do to fly, taking responsibility is what we as adults should do, I’m sure he wasn’t happy but we are never happy when we make mistakes it’s called human nature, he is in full control of whether he flys or not.
Sorry hallmark, I find it worrisome that you would victim blame the OP because he made a "mistake" and therefore couldn't use his property. No sign in requirement would mean no loss of use of his property, so which did come first the chicken or the egg here...
As I noted previous, if someone can show incontrovertible proof of what, why, and how this sign in feature is truly enhancing safety &/or security then I will jump up and down and do cartwheels in support of it. Until then, I see no reason why it is necessary.
Therefore, I don't see it being fair or reasonable to blame the OP for this. The primary aspect of what is being debated here is that of freedom and control. You keep saying well I have to sign in for this and sign in for that, OK then, what about we just be given a disc with the SW to fly our drones (our property) and be done with it...it is ours free and clear and if DJI wants to update it and we want to accept the update OK fine but if not then we can continue to use our property as we see fit within the laws & regs established for our area & country.
I am frightened that so many seem to think this way of operating and line of thinking is OK, it is not. If I'm playing some online game and I need to sign in to play it, OK, it is an on-line game only...however, if I go to the store and by a game (which is now my property) and it uses my phone to play it and I have to sign in each time or even once to play the game I bought this is not OK. Now I will give you that if I buy something that says I must do X and Y then I have been forewarned and I would have the option of not making the buy. However, many of these control changes are recent and a very large number of folks had no idea this was even on the horizon. I would even add that nearly all of these key details were never explained or advertised about the product. Personally I can't remember seeing anything about this kind of stuff, even now I'm hard pressed to find anything that fully explains these restrictions and requirements you have to dig through the manual to find it and even then it is cursory in nature, nor to use the drone you'll have to sign in, or to take a test. For the record some, not all, of this info can be found but only after digging for it.
Beyond being frightened I'm dismayed, you know to each his own...I've accepted much of what DJI has sold me (as I said before) but it doesn't make it right or OK and since my entry in to this purchase, and here is the crux, I have had added restrictions placed upon me that were not part of the purchase advertised or not. It's not apparent that I may change your mind, that is OK but I'm hoping that others who read this will at least think about it, and maybe enough will finally say enough is enough...I hope. |
