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.
First it’s not my job to explain exactly why changes were made, I think you will see above Labroids explained one very good reason why changes had to be made, and it’s basically dismissed, so no matter what I or others offer up as to why changes were made I will be shot down , some with good reason some with no reason.
So I will try to give you my opinion on why we face as we go through life changes that sometimes we don’t agree with and don’t seem fair or something we have not signed up to.
Scenario: I go to my paypal account to purchase something, I’m locked out of getting my money, because PayPal are trying to improve their security system, remember they don’t explain what security changes probably because of security, they are now requiring me to sign in under a new password and other new security measures, I now have to re sign in wait for them to confirm my details before I can use My money, yes it’s a pain in the ar*e but I don’t have a choice, they can do this to me as many times as they like but I feel I didn’t sign up to this but I have to put up with it or move somewhere else.
If I forget my password I have to go through a whole other rigmarole to get access to My money. Is this part of life now I ask myself, I’m afraid it is if I want to trade through PayPal but it’s not exactly what I signed up to.
Scenario: In 1940 Ireland I purchase a new car I drive it around freely for two years on public roads, then suddenly I’m told I can no longer drive my car unless I have the new driving license, but when I purchased the car I didn’t buy into any license scheme and how will a license improve my driving I’ve been driving around for two years no crash no problems, why do I need a piece of paper to drive around.
But I have a choice I can go back to the bicycle and sell my car.
I have seen many changes imposed on me through my life not all for my good, some that are good for me some that are good for others but in most I have other options if I don’t want to take them on, in order to do this I must be as strong as my convictions and move on, if I opt into the changes then I must get on with it and now follow the rules I signed up for.
And just like the OP he signed up for the new rules of flying his drone and in order to fly he must be aware what he needs to do, if he is not happy he can opt out, if he gets it wrong he can’t blame anyone else because he made the decision to sign up to the rules of flying his drone, I would say dji drone but we know other drone manufacturers have adopted the same rules.
Now apart from getting caught out up on a mountain because I forget to sign in, can you give me any other good reason why there would be a problem signing into your app.
Privacy is not a problem because we now have options to protect this affecting us.
We don’t have to ask permission to fly we have the choice to sign in or not.
Having to do a test, I’m all in favour of this anything that helps new and old users gain even the smallest amount of information on keeping safe is good in my book. And yes the way it’s done can and I’m sure will be improved but a journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step.
I have decided to opt in so I can take on board what needs to be done in preparation for flying, if it goes wrong for whatever reason I accept that , I was aware and equipped with all the knowledge before I started so I fully accept responsibility |
