UK drone rules reboot: From Jan 1, 2026 you must pass a free CAA online theory test (40 Q, pass 30) to get a 5‑yr Flyer ID and register an Operator ID if you own a drone.

IDs for 250g–25kg; 100–250g needs Flyer (Operator if camera). #Drones

DJI could vanish from U.S. shelves — Skyrover X1 may be the Mini 4 Pro stand-in: sub-249g, 4K60, familiar app, surprisingly long range, ~25-28 min flight.

Much cheaper ($539 vs $750+), but no D-Log or built-in screen. #drones

Big takeaway: FCC's new rule targets drones by origin, not just DJI - lookalikes (like SkyRover X1) could face the same U.S. limits.

Operators must weigh supply-chain origin & transparency, not just specs. #drones #SupplyChain

This bright orange life-form could point to new #dino discoveries
The reflected infrared light of bone-loving #lichen can be detected by #drones
“Rather than finding new sites serendipitously, this approach can help paleontologists to locate new areas that are likely to have #fossils at the surface and then go there to investigate,” says #paleontologist Brian Pickles at the University of Reading in England.
