  2. America’s top drone development zones

    The list provided identifies the top metropolitan areas across the United States where significant amounts of drone (civilian and military) research, development, and manufacturing are taking place. It also includes the headquarters locations for those entities. Despite often being associated with military use, drones can have many useful peacetime functions such as but not limited to: aerial inspections, aerial and thermal imagery, agricultural spray application, mapping/surveying, product delivery, site security, public safety, search & rescue (SAR), environmental monitoring, and disaster response/reconnaissance.

    The list does not distinguish between types or value of the drones produced, their raw numbers, nor the numbers employed by the industry. It only provides a list of organizations located there that are actively involved in drone research and development. To make the list as complete as possible, sources of counter/anti-drone product development are also included.

    As can be seen by the list, there are a number of metropolitan areas that have become significant zones for drone development. Greater Washington, D.C. tends to be where many military drone manufacturers are headquartered in order to be close to the decision makers are located.

    Separately, several long-standing military-focused cities have become drone nodes as well — San Diego, Hampton Roads, and Albuquerque-Santa Fe fall into this category. Then, there are the well-known high-technology hubs that have naturally morphed into drone development. These include Boston, Silicon Valley, the San Francisco Bay Area (which could easily be combined with Silicon Valley), Seattle, and Portland (OR).

    Seattle, Los Angeles, and Wichita all fall into another category – aircraft manufacturing cities that have expanded into drone zones. Meanwhile the Houston, Huntsville, Orlando-Melbourne, Los Angeles, and El Paso-Las Cruces metropolitan areas fall into the outer space specialization grouping. Transitioning from either of these manufacturing ecosystems to drones would be a logical step.

    And lastly, there are the unexpected notable drone zones — Reno, Detroit, and of all places, Grand Forks, North Dakota. Detroit is an historic hub for automation and engine technologies and its economy encompasses a surprising amount of defense industries, while the State of Nevada has been investing in ways to make the Reno-Sparks area a competitive player in the drone industry.

    Grand Forks, North Dakota deserves significant accolades for its forward-thinking step of establishing the nation’s first drone research, development, and testing park (GrandSKY) at Grand Forks U.S. Air Force Base back in the mid-2010s. The extent of the drone zone in Grand Forks has led to the area being nicknamed “Silidrone Valley.”

    More information on each of the drone zones is provided below. As always, any additions, suggestions, or corrections to the list are most welcome.

    Peace!

    Es gibt Filme, die können mir ein ganzes Genre für lange Zeit verderben, weil sie so einzigartig sind, dass kaum ein anderer mehr dran kommt. „Der unsichtbare Feind“ ist eindeutig einer davon. Seit ich das hier „gesehen“ habe, wirken andere Home-Invasion-Thriller nur noch wie seelenlose Attrappen. Hier hatte ich tatsächlich endlich einmal wieder das Gefühl, dass wirklich etwas auf dem Spiel steht, etwas, das nicht durch die Maschinerie eines Writers-Room herausdestilliert wurde, sondern „echt“ ist.

  18. Телеграм для бумеров. Прекращает работу Skype, который подарил нам роскошь бесплатных разговоров в 2003 году

    Скриншот домашней страницы Skype в 2004 году Казалось бы, совсем недавно, в 2013 году мы отмечали десятилетний юбилей Skype и перечисляли заслуги этого P2P- софтфона перед человечеством. В то время он ещё бурно развивался, росла аудитория, внедрялись уникальные (для того времени) функции: передача файлов в чате , синхронизация сообщений на разных устройствах , а также недокументированные опции вроде подключения сторонних клиентов , что стало возможным после реверс-инжиниринга официального клиента Skype российским хакером efimich . По степени революционности, программистского новаторства и роста аудитории Skype в 2003−2012 гг. был чем-то вроде мессенджера Telegram в 2013−2020 гг (любопытно, что разработчики Skype базировались в Таллинне/Эстония, а Telegram — в Дубае/ОАЭ, в обоих случаях необычные локации). Когда Skype вырос почти до максимальной аудитории, его купила Microsoft. Зачем? Предположительно, для мобильной платформы Windows Phone или чтобы заменить Windows Live Messenger на десктопах. Ходила версия про контракт с АНБ . Всё равно везде под Windows использовался Skype, так что покупка казалась логичной. Но вышло не очень…

  19. Microsoft is closing down Skype, proprietary videoconferencing service, which originated from Estonia more than two decades ago.

    As someone who used Skype before Microsoft's acquisition, I consider this an end of an era :ablobcatpopcorn:

    Microsoft is closing Skype in favor of Microsoft Teams. Interestingly, both Skype and Mixer (game streaming service) served well for Microsoft to acquire decent real-time video encoders and other moving parts to build Microsoft Teams :blobcatcamera:

  21. Microsoft ukončuje Skype, přechází na Teams 💻

    Po 21 letech končí provoz Skypu – Microsoft ho 5. května 2025 definitivně vypne a zaměří se na Teams jako hlavní komunikační platformu.

    Ve světe profesionálního videa byl Skype častou volbou pro připojování vzdálených hostů. Skype je jednou z mála videokonfernečních aplikací, ze které lze zdarma získat tzv. "cleanfeed" webkamery či sdílení obrazovky přes protokol NDI. Tato funkcionalita zůstává i v Microsoft Teams, avšak se složitějším nastavením, které navíc nemusí být ve všech organizacích povoleno.

    Skype tuto funkci propagoval v rámci svého programu Skype for creators: skype.com/en/content-creators/

    Pro profesionální broadcast prostředí existoval i dedikovaný hardware nazývaný Skype TX. Tento hardware je stále využíván v televizích v ČR. Za jeho výrobou stály společnosti jako NewTek či QuickLink: quicklink.tv/products/quicklin

    Zda je i u něj umožněn přechod na Teams není doposud známo.

  22. Hach #Skype 🥰

    Wie du damals™️ also so um 2009+ herum als gerade #UMTS mit #HSDPA/#HSUPA/#HSxPA das höchste der Gefühle waren, zu annehmbarer Qualität kostenlos durch die Welt skypen konntest.

    Auch schon wieder aus und vorbei. UMTS gibt's quasi kaum noch und mit Skype ist im Mai Schluss.

    Ehrlich gesagt habe ich nicht die geringste Ahnung wann ich es zuletzt genutzt habe.

  23. Jsem zvědavý co bude s hardwarem Skype TX a s workflows kterýmé počítají se Skype NDI outputem brandovanýcm jako "Skype for Contnent creators" jiná řešení pro obojí existují ale o něčem free nevím...
