KoRMaK posted:That's correct, but still the lasers help gently caress up the vision sensors and targeting systems don't they? Can't shoot what you can't see The only targeting system that would gently caress up would be a TV-guided bomb. Bomb has a camera, shows a picture to the pilot, the pilot designates an aim point on the screen, drops the bomb, bomb steers itself to that aim point. Nothing else is going to give a poo poo about laser pointers. If the pilot can't see because you're blinding him with lasers, he's not going to be able to aim very well, but a regime willing to drop high explosives on unarmed crowds isn't really going to be concerned about precision bombing anyway. Small arms are far more effective against helicopters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_attack_on_Karbala

There was an interview recently with someone in the military about the risk to attack helicopters by these lasers. He was quite happy about the idea of the bad guys pointing a large, illuminated arrow at themselves, saying 'bad guys here' In fact, I could detect some glee.

A bit of Reddit drama and schadenfreude. A week or so ago one of the admins/actual site engineers (called spez) used his power to silently alter some posts in https://reddit.com/r/the_donald so that instead of insulting the admins of the site, the posts insulted mods of the_donald. Once it came to light the_donald exploded. However it was revealed that the admins had gotten numerous reports of posters in the_donald had been harassing, doxxing and threatening site admins, other sub mods etc. and something had to be done. So today spez posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/5frg1n/tifu_by_editing_some_comments_and_creating_an/ In short there are three things in this post: 1. Stickied posts in the_donald can't show up on /r/all (a place where posts that are very popular get put automatically, regardless of what subreddit they are posted on, with some exceptions) meaning that mods on the the_donald subreddit can't highlight stuff they want their users and their bots to upvote to /r/all. 2. They added a filter option to /r/all that lets users disable any subreddit they want from showing up on their own version of /r/all. This was previously only doable through third party browser extensions and the_donald got a LOT of posts up there, so it was a much asked for thing. 3. They are going through the_donald posters and punishing as necessary with bans, warnings and what have you. The schadenfreude is the_donald that is exploding with anger at this perceived injustice. Nevermind the fact that they still don't understand that Reddit, as terrible as it is sometimes, is still a privately owned site and company and they can do whatever the gently caress they want with it. https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/
