Report: FAA to test new pilot programs to speed up remote drone identification tech

08 Jan

In 2017, news surfaced the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had taken the first steps toward establishing drone identification rules, which would require a drone to remotely identify itself to law enforcement. The remote ID system could help identify drones operated in restricted airspace, such as drones over airports, but multiple reports have indicated there could be a significant delay.

In November, the Wall Street Journal reported the FAA was ‘significantly behind’ schedule on establishing drone identification rules, something necessary for the large scale commercial use of drones. As well, law enforcement and government officials have increasingly expressed concerns over illegal drone operation and their inability to rapidly identify these UAVs.

In its most recent update, the WSJ has revealed a Federal Register notice from December that details pilot projects aimed at speeding up remote ID system testing. According to the report, the FAA wants to create up to eight prototype projects financed by private companies in order to test different identification options.

These prototype projects would be used both to gather real-world data and verify that the remote identification technologies work while speeding up the overall time it will take the FAA to establish the new rules. Neither timelines nor project costs have been revealed at this time, but assuming that a rule proposal in made in the next few months, final regulations may be established in the next year or two.

[MODIFIED] General Computers – Why Do Install Programs Ask Me to Close Everything or Restart?

23 Apr

When installing software, here’s why you should close down all running applications – but think twice before shutting down security software.

When you install software on your machine, you are usually asked near the beginning to close other running programs (a good practice to do even if you are not explicitly asked). Why should you consider doing so, and should you shut down everything?

1) Some install programs require you to reboot your operating system when the install is done, so, you would have to close other programs down anyway or let the operating system do so (risking you losing work in such applications). This is especially true for software such as firewalls, virus scanners, some anti-spyware applications, backup utilities, etc….

Miscellaneous Software – Prevent Maximized Programs From Taking Up the Whole Screen

01 Aug

Stop hiding parts of the Desktop when maximizing applications by using the freeware MaxMax.

It seems counterintuitive, doesn’t it? When you maximize a program in Windows, by nature you want the window to take up the entire Desktop (except for the Taskbar in most cases) -right?

There may be instances where you don’t want maximized windows to be – well, maximized. Perhaps you have some Sidebar gadgets that you want to remain visible and not covering up part of the maximized window. Maybe you have a Desktop calendar and want to keep it shown. Or perhaps you have a window containing status information on part of the screen and don’t want it covered by other windows. For these cases, there’s the freeware MaxMax….
