would that also cover using a green laser pointer to take out the camera? is that actually illegal or is that more of a heavily frowned upon thing?

that's an interesting question. a guy in az got two years in jail for standing in the PHX approach path and pointing one of those chinese lasers at the planes as they were landing. i'd think it would be different with no humans directly endangered, but maybe the FAA doesn't see a difference

wasnt this a kickstarter? did they make an order for a million of these ball sack lights from some chinese supplier and then fold, and now it's being liquidated?

yeah. i went to design school with the two people who made it.

their kickstarter worked fine and they sold a bunch...this is just the chinese people's liberation industrial xerox machine operating as intended

yah, at least specifically in the case where theyre being used for snooping. if you're spying on a celebrity who is living in a 500 acre ranch to get some privacy or peeping through windows/over fences to look at people's tits then it should be legal to shoot down your poo poo. what's the alternative? hope you can chase the guy down and perform a citizen's arrest? hope you can get his plates (and they're his) before he drives away? and he still has a recording of you.

if someone's drone is just passing by/not watching you do something interesting then you shouldn't be able to shoot it, but there's 0 reason i shouldn't be able to shoot a drone that is mysteriously hovering over my yard while i tan my tits.

well i mean it's possible that maybe you shouldn't be allowed to discharge a firearm in your back yard in attempting to hit a rapidly moving target

but i think it'd be cool to have some kind of ninja turtles net launcher bazooka for drone defense yea.

the Wendelstein 7-X Stellarator fusion reactor
the shape of each coil is tuned to contain the plasma as efficiently as current models and techniques allow
apparently the final cost was ~1bn euros

i'm really hoping this works cause it's the coolest thing ever

one of the main reasons we have such big problems with tokamaks is bc in a toroidal magnetic field the outer particles experience a lower force than the inner particles (being at different points in the gradient), so you need to run a current through the plasma and constantly adjust it to keep it flowing without touching the walls. so far we can only do that for seconds at a time

in a stellarator you just design the plasma path like a figure-eight racetrack, so that every particle spends equal times in high gradient areas and low gradient areas. over the course of the machine the fields balance out and the particles stay contained on their own.

this makes the machine shape way more complicated, but if you can get it working it's theoretically indefinitely stable with no active control

also it looks like a proper science fiction starship reactor
