  • It sure doesn’t say when that was updated, but for a long period of time the use of drone when discussing unmanned aircraft was reserved for military craft that were usually armed and used to kill people. In the attempt to demonize hobby rc use, the press started calling simple quadcopters (and other propeller configurations if we are being pedantic) drones and not what they were normally called by the people using and making them in the hobby. My point still stands, the press likes to change the wording of things, and will perpetuate their narrative in order to garner views. Manufacturing fear is part of their tactic, and is why I replied what I replied to the question of why the press continues to push the false narrative of these cars being “self driving”.

















  • Just want to point out that you can download audio from a Youtube video using yt-dlp and the following options:

    -x, --extract-audio                               Convert video files to audio-only files (requires ffmpeg and
                                                      ffprobe)
    --audio-format FORMAT                             Format to convert the audio to when -x is used. (currently
                                                      supported: best (default), aac, alac, flac, m4a, mp3, opus,
                                                      vorbis, wav). You can specify multiple rules using similar syntax
                                                      as --remux-video
    --audio-quality QUALITY                           Specify ffmpeg audio quality to use when converting the audio with
                                                      -x. Insert a value between 0 (best) and 10 (worst) for VBR or a
                                                      specific bitrate like 128K (default 5)
    

    You might have to use a tool to re-do the tags, but that’s pretty easy to do. Edit: also want to point out that yt-dlp also works with a number of other sites besides Youtube.
